The Bauer Bubble has two stars for Jasper's Corner Tap, the new bar-centric restaurant from Kimpton Hotel group. Mirroring the ebb and flow of predecessor Ponzu's Asian fusion theme, Jasper's captures the "way dining trends are heading." But Bauer's back-and-forth on the menu. Noting "some dishes just didn't come together," he concedes, "chef Adam Carpenter...has generally done himself proud, [and] it's a fun after-work stop...vital for anyone who is going to the theater at the Golden Gate, the Curran or Geary, and wants a place to eat."
