Jardiniere Restaurant

300 Grove Street
San Francisco, CA 94102

Occasion: Trying to catch a quick bite before Final Fantasy performance at the symphony with the boyfriend Ella! The waiter was kind enough to rush our food out and split everything into two so that we can try everything!*Food pictured is not the correct portion size, just double the amount because they split it into twos for us besides the dessert*

Maine Diver Scallops, Matsutake Mushrooms, Leeks and Savoy Spinach, Herb
Tender, juicy and flavorful.  It was amazing!!  The outsides were seared to a perfect golden brown crisp.  Natural sweetness of the mushrooms complimented very well with the scallops. There were sweet kernels of corn, which definitely added to the flavor of the dish.  Absolutely amazing and left us wanting more.  Got us excited for the rest of the dishes to come.
Alaskan Halibut
This was served with beans and a variety of diced veggies.  I thought the veggies were delicious.  It had a mediterranean taste to it.  The flavors of the veggies and the fish complimented each other very well. 

Duck Breast
Excellent! The meat was tender and cooked perfectly.  It was full of flavor and very filling. I would definitely recommend this dish for all those meat lovers out there.
Cappucino with Black Forest Cake with Vanilla bean ice cream
After our meal we still had a little bit of time to spare before the performance so we stuck around a little longer.  After a long day at work we both needed some caffeine before the symphony so we each got a cup of cappucino and decided to compliment it with some dessert!  I love chocolate candy, but I've never been a big fan of chocolate cake per say.  I thought it was just too rich in flavor by itself, so thank goodness for the cappucino to balance out the sweetness of the dessert.  I would definitely try something different next time.
