MKT Restaurant and Bar at Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco Earns 2025 Wine Spectator Restaurant Award for Sixth Year in a Row

MKT Restaurant and Bar at Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco has been honoured with a Best of Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator in its 2025 Restaurant Awards for the sixth year in a row, which recognizes restaurants whose wine lists feature a well-chosen assortment of quality producers along with a thematic match to the menu in both price and style.

“We are incredibly proud to be recognized by Wine Spectator with this prestigious award,” says Director of Food and Beverage Johan Monterrat. “This is a true testament to our team’s efforts to curate a wine list that complements our culinary offerings and provides guests with an exceptional dining experience.”

MKT Restaurant & Bar, found in the lobby of Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco, is a modern and upscale dining destination with sweeping 180 degree views of the stunning cityscape. The California coastal cuisine pulls influence from various cooking styles and presents inspired dishes created with locally sourced produce, sustainably sourced seafood, and high-quality meat and poultry. The culinary and bar team at MKT allow the quality of food to speak for itself, and their relationships with local farmers and purveyors to shine through high-quality, ingredient-first dishes.

MKT’s award-winning wine list is a true celebration of craftsmanship and terroir, featuring more than 50 carefully curated selections of California Cabernet Sauvignon by the bottle and an exceptional collection of Champagnes from more than 25 premier producers in the Champagne region. The list reflects a thoughtful dedication to California’s winemaking heritage, particularly the bold, full-bodied Cabernets that thrive just beyond its doorstep in Napa Valley. The property’s location near this prestigious wine region allows them to collaborate closely with leading vineyards, offering wines known for their depth, structure, and age-worthiness.

Among the highlights is the Merryvale Cabernet Sauvignon, a wine that exemplifies elegance, balance, and depth. Crafted by the esteemed Merryvale Vineyards in St. Helena, this vintage tells the story of passion, patience, and place. Thanks to an exclusive partnership, MKT is proud to be one of the only restaurants offering this extraordinary wine by the glass. It is a rare opportunity to experience the nuanced artistry of a small, premier producer, and a reflection of its unwavering commitment to delivering unforgettable dining and wine experiences.

“A wine list is a restaurant’s identity in print, and this year’s Wine Spectator Restaurant Award winners reflect both deep knowledge and a passion for discovery,” says Marvin R. Shanken, Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator. “I proudly present the 3,811 restaurants worldwide that earned a Restaurant Award this year—we raise a glass to all our winners.”
