San Francisco, CA 94107
Occasion: Celebrating Sophia's birthday. Party of 10. 01.27.12
Hamachi shots
We each got a shot and in my opinion, I thought it was quite tasty. Hamachi, avocado, rice crisps, ponzu sauce. Yum. Make sure you try to get everything in your mouth in one bite. You get to really enjoy the crispy texture of the rice crisp with the buttery hamachi and avocado chunks with a hint of the ponzu sauce. It's quite a tasty tasty bite that you will not regret.
Foie Gras popcorn
sweet kettle corn with foie gras butter
sweet kettle corn with foie gras butter
Delicious little appetizer to share amongst the table before our real meal. Foie gras taste is really subtle and not over powering. There's the subtle tastes of the foie gras combined with the sweet kettle popcorn.
Dry-aged ribeye steak
with aka miso, kizami wasabi butter, dashi veal glace and topped with foie gras for an additional $20.00
I usually stick to what I know because I know I'll like it, especially at restaurants that serve food that I don't often eat. I'm not big on meat or steak and this is probably one of the few times I decided to get something besides filet Mignon. I definitely did not regret my choice. Though would have liked it a little bit more rare. I asked for medium rare and it was more medium than rare. The orange chunks of what seemed like a squash of some sort, was crunchy, bland and not very appetizing, though the added foie gras added a richness to the dish. I probably finished 1/3 of this piece of meat, so you can definitely share it amongst two.
Truffled French Fries
sundried tomato - tonkatsu aïoli
So addicting. Subtle taste of truffle that complemented really well with the tonkatsu aioli. Delicious.
Prime Rib
until it’s gone / natural jus / horseradish trio
They only serve this until they sell out and if you're into prime rib, it's supposedly really good. I mean I don't think I have made out a palate for steaks or primerib, but the meat seemed pretty juicy and tender. My only complaint, along with a few others was the fact that the outer skin was overly seasoned and way too salty for our likings. Other than that everyone who had it seemed to somewhat enjoy it.
jasmine rice hot pot
garlic root / green onion / unagi / takwan
Very similar to Chinese stone pot rice. I was quite impressed with the flavors of this dish as it had flavors similar to that of a Chinese dish. It was good.
mashed potatoes
chicken cracklings and white gravy
brussels sprouts
charcoal-smoked marrow / yamagobo / late harvest viognier-honey vinaigrette
Filet Mignon
Ella's dish. They had forgotten to add a piece of foie gras as requested, so when they came back with her dish, they slabbed on a huge piece for her.
Complimentary cotton candy
Souffle
