Eos, meaning the ancient Greek goddess of the dawn, has become the hub of the quaint Cole Valley neighborhood for its unique Asian fusion small plates and its extensive and eclectic wine list. When Eos opened in 1995 they were one of the first restaurants in the country to do Asian fusion food, and it was quickly hailed by renowned chef and food writer Micheal Bauer as the first American restaurant to do Asian fusion well. In addition, Eos Wine Bar was one of the first wine bars in San Francisco and remains one of the few wine bars today that also serves award-winning food. Soon after its opening, Founding Chef Arnold Eric Wong was named the 1996 Rising Star Chef by Gourmet Magazine
