Grand Cafe

501 Geary Street

San Francisco, CA 94102

Occasion: Friday Happy Hour 5.14.10

$1 Oysters (Miyagi's)
Delicious. Fresh. Just what we wanted...besides the crazy long wait for it. We ordered 4 dozen and the chef had a lot of other orders...which is why we had to wait about half an hour for them.

Duck Ravioli
It had a familiar taste to it like chinese dim sum. Nothing special. It only came in two pieces. I didn't think it was worth it because it's not filling.

Salmon Tartar

Taste was on par, but unfortunately I was disappointed in the portion size. Flavorful and perfect on the toasted baguette.

Shrimp Stew

There were only about 5 prawns in there cooked in tomato. Again, portion size was small, but it was tasty. It was nice and warm and stayed warm in he skillet. It was good and I enjoyed it. Nice little snack!

Flammenkuche D'Alsace

wood oven baked crispy flatbread, stone fruit, honey lavendar with candied walnuts and goat cheese cream
The combination of flavors are very interesting. The crispy flat bread was simple, yet tasty especially with a slab of goat cheese cream slathered over it. There was a thin slice of fruit on top and it was just amazing. Candied walnuts sprinkled on top were amazing. It was a nice little happy hour snack.

Beef Brochettes

Beef, seasonal vegetables, marchan du vin sauce
Beef was tender and full of flavor. Again, portion size wasn't that great. Glad to say I tried it.
