As elegant as imbibing gets in San Francisco. Named for the Maxfield Parrish painting that hangs on the wall; posh lounge is the place to go for a flawless martini and beautiful scenery to accompany it. Popular with well-heeled locals as well as guests at the Palace Hotel in which it resides, there’s also a menu of classic California fare – cowboy steak, sirloin burger, Lola rosa salad – and all manner of small plates. But you’re here for the cocktails, and the sheer fabulousness of it all.
