San Francisco, CA 94103
Occasion: We miss Hana party! Actually a very belated going away party! Party of 12 with great company, good drinks and delicious eats! 11.21.11
Cheese bread
It definitely held me down for a little bit. Since I arrived early, I was starving!!
Sonoma Farms Foie Gras Pot de Crème, Banyuls, Toasted Pain d’éspices
I definitely did not expect it to come in a jar, but it still tasted good. Perhaps I was really hungry. I like how we could use it as a spread for the baguette toast it came with. Not overly rich in flavor, but still tasty!
"Canned" Carlsbad Aqua Farm Mussels, Sherry Vinegar, Tomato Broth
Wow, they really meant mussel in a can. There's something about the look of this that did not seem as appetizing as I had imagined it to be. I was expecting mussels with the shell. Not only that, but it was served kind of cold. I don't know about you, but I like my mussels served hot!
Sous Vide Duck Egg, Duck Confit Hash, Caramelized Onion, Purple Mustard
Delicious and tender duck confit hash. Beautifully presented and demolished very quickly by us.
Hamachi Sashimi, Soy Glaze, Serrano Pepper, Cilantro-Avocado Foam
Delicious! I love hamachi sashimi and how refreshing this dish was. The jalepeno peppers complemented the fish really well and added a nice kick to the fish. I loved the idea of the cilantro avocado foam (wish I had more of that). My complaint was that there aren't enough for a party size like ours.
Kobe Beef Tartare, Dijon Mustard, Capers, Shallots, Garlic, Toast Points
More please!! I just love beef tartar! It did not fail me here either. The combination of the flavors all together spread on a little toasted piece of bread= perfection.
Calamari
Seriously, three pieces only? That's definitely not enough! I love the chewy texture of calamari, different from how I usually have it (fried). Definitely a nice little change.
Lettuce gem with fried onions
Another filler to hold us off until our main entree came out. Love the crunchy crispy flavorful fried onion chips. That was the highlight of the salad.
Roasted Sonoma Lamb Saddle, Shank-Stuffed Piquillo Pepper, Smoked Yogurt, Romanesco, Mint Lamb Jus
Jenn's entree was freaking delicious. The lamb meat was tender and not gamey at all. The smoked yogurt complemented the shank stuffed piquillo pepper so well. I really really really liked the whole combination which gave it a somewhat Mediterranean feel to the dish. Amazing!
Roasted Butterfish, Parisienne Gnocchi, Brussels Sprouts, Brown Butter Beet Bearaise
My butterfish, which was good and a much lighter dish than the lamb. Absolutely flavorful and cooked well (soft meat). Gnocchi was not too bad, soft and chewy. Overall the dish was good, but the Lamb definitely won my stomach that night.
Pork Chop
Another great dish. I don't usually order porkchop, but I would definitely say that if you're a fan of porkchops that this is worth trying.
Brussel Sprouts
Truffle Risotto
Beefsparerib dish??
We got one of everything of the Desserts on the menu!
