For lunch, I ate at Zuni Cafe, upstairs. Here are a few photos of the place:
The salad was fine, the pork chop was very delicious, and the apple galette was underwhelming.

Dinner was in The Dining Room at the Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco. Below are two outside pictures, due to the restaurant's no-photography policy:
I had the Salt & Pepper tasting menu:
kindai tuna sashimi, miso gelée, ponzu gelée
YOUNG GINGER SALT & RED SZECHUAN PEPPER
abalone, mango, hearts of palm, cilantro purée
VANILLA SALT & TELLICHERRY PEPPERCORN
foie gras medallion, pickled cherries, pineapple jus
LEMON VERBENA SALT & TASMANIAN PEPPERCORN
poussin, stone fruit salad, sweet and sour
BOLIVIAN ROCK SALT & GREEN PEPPERCORN
beef ribeye, english pea purée, green beans, assorted mushrooms
MELON SEA SALT AND WHITE MUNTOCK PEPPERCORN
strawberry sorbet, melon seltzer
SOY SALT & PINK PEPPERCORN

The dinner was fine. During the middle of the meal, however, I asked if something could be done regarding the sounds coming from the bar. The group that was in the bar could be heard quite well from where I was sitting. The manager made the arrangements at a convenient break during the tasting menu. I was able to enjoy my dinner afterwords.
