San Francisco, CA 94118
Occasion: Ella's Bday dinner with the girls. Party of 6. 08.30.11
Complimentary cheese puffs
Nice little snack to have. Puffy and filled with a mild cheesy flavor. It definitely worked up my appetite.
Mussels
Ordered from the bar menu. We all love shellfish, so it was a good appetizer to get. Don't think I've ever had any mussels gone wrong. Delicious especially with the bread soaked in the broth!
Lettuce and Herbs
Bayuls vinegar, and green olive crostone
Very refreshing and flavorful salad in a yummy vinegar dressing. Olives and vinegar added a flavorful tang to it! Easy to share within our group of girls.
Pan seared veal sweetbreads
with figs, petit lettuce, cippolini onions in a bacon vinaigrette
Delicious. I've grown to love figs more and more. Sweet breads have some what of a harder texture. You've just got to try it yourself. Just FYI: sweetbreads are the throat or neck portion of cattle. It's not bread that is sweet. LOL. Will not mention any names, but she thought it was bread that was sweet.
Honey Lacquered Duck Breast
with cinnamon spiced foie gras, watercress and glazed rhubarb
Delicious. I wanted foie gras and since it was in the duck dish, I decided to get it. It was so good I finished everything. I only wish that there was a bigger piece of foie gras, they skimped us on that.
Butter Poached Lobster
with braised lettuces and golden potato gnocchi
Fanny's dish. Though the portion was kind of on the small side, she seemed to have enjoyed her meal.
Griled Bavet Steak
Duck fat potatoes, foraged mushrooms, bordelaise
Diana's Steak. She gave me a piece and it was a little bit too cooked for my liking. I like it medium rare and I think she got it medium well.
