Phone calls are going out today to restaurants who received coveted Michelin Guide 2013 stars. We'll update as the winners trickle in. But, as of right now, we can tell you that SPQR in the Fillmore received a (well-deserved) star for its fare care of Chef Matthew Accarrino (who took over after James Beard winner Nate Appleman ditched SF for New York City and, oddly enough, Chipotle). Behold:
Tonight I will celebrate two career long goals having been achieved @spqrfillmore @tenspeedpress @michelinguidesf feels amazing

Look back here at SFist for continuing updates throughout the day. Congratulations to all the winners! (And, alas, to those of you stripped of stars.)
Update: Dominique Crenn just announced that Atelier Crenn nabbed two stars! Heavy.
Atelier Crenn was awarded 2 Michelin stars today @michelinguidesf. Thank you to my team and most of all this second star is for you dad.:)

Update II: Mission District gem Saison retained its two stars, at least according to Twitter chatter. In more pressing news, Saison's Joshua Skenes got to meet Samantha Micelli.
@alyssa_milano very nice meeting you @jack always a pleasure.
