The Cliff House, one of San Francisco’s most beloved dining destinations, continues to serve locals and out-of-town visitors with classically executed contemporary cuisine in a spectacular oceanfront setting.

“Environmentally, we do our part by sourcing sustainable fish, and preparations don’t detract from the delicacies of the fish. Our soups and salads are hyper-seasonal and change often, depending on the time of year and what our farmers are growing,” Chef Burgin says.

As a part-time farmer himself, Chef Burgin understands the importance of the seasonality of dishes and relies on his abundant crop of heirloom tomatoes that serves the Cliff House’s tomato needs from July through fall’s first frost.

Come summer, Chef Burgin’s 1,500 tomato plants proliferate in the hot Sonoma County sun and are added to the dining room menu until fall’s first frost. Just about all the tomatoes go to the restaurants, from the heirloom tomato carpaccio to the seasonal fresh tomato sauces, and other items inspired by the bounty of the farm.
