Anomaly SF is an intimate tasting-menu restaurant on a quiet block in Lower Pacific Heights, opened by chef-owner Mike Lanham in January 2023 after nearly five years as a word-of-mouth pop-up, with the buildout funded partly via Kickstarter. Lanham — a Culinary Institute of America (Greystone) graduate who cooked at Spruce, the Michelin-starred Commis, and Bird Dog — calls his Georgia-rooted cooking "Southern-Inspired Modernism," and the restaurant earned a Bib Gourmand in the 2024 California Michelin Guide. General manager and beverage director Francis Kulaga runs a full non-alcoholic pairing alongside the multi-course tasting menu, priced comparably to the wine pairing (roughly $99). Rather than a fixed zero-proof list, Kulaga builds the pairing to each guest's taste across the courses, leaning on dealcoholized and spirit-free products including Free AF, Proxies, and Leitz Sparkling, with an option for a few standalone spirit-free cocktails.
