Skool

1725 Alameda St
San Francisco, CA 94103

Occasion: Catch up dinner with my Big sis.  I got there a little bit earlier than our reservation time and made it there while their happy hour was still going on.  We ordered a couple of items on their Detention Hall (Happy Hour Menu) as well as from their regular dinner menu. Their food is AMAZING!  07.05.12


Eryngii Mushroom Fries
with Cornmeal Breading Served with Skool Miso Aioli
Deep fried mushrooms= amazingly delicious, especially when dipped into their miso ailoli sauce.  They're great to snack on and absolutely addicting. Genius.

Skool Sliders
Pork Belly Confit Sliders with Sugar Miso Glaze, Serrano Chille and Togarashi on Baby Brioche Bun
Another amazing bite from their happy hour menu.  Their buns were just whatever, but I loved the spicy and sweet combo on the pork belly.

Sexy Cocktail Drinks
Crab Bon Bons
Dungeness Crab Balls with Yuzu-Citrus Hollandaise and Herb Oil
They're okay, not too memorable though. 
Grilled Ika-Yaki
Large Grilled Squid with Tomato-Ginger Fondue 
Loved the charred taste of the grilled squid, which were really soft and not too chewy.  There were chunks of tomatoes that were so soft and flavorful. 
Squid Ink Spaghettina
Monterey Squid, Local White Shrimp, Garlic Tomato Compote, Japanese Red Curry, Lemon Grass Dashi-Broth, Seaweed Butter, Enoki Mushrooms, Shiso
This is seriously my favorite thing to get here.  One serving is enough to share between two and you can request for them to split it for you.  The soup is flavorful with a kick of spice to it.  The quid ink pasta is fresh and chewy. Oh and the variety of seafood in the bowl is generous.  It's just a really well put together dish. I love it and would highly recommend it.

Lavendar Panna Cotta
The taste of lavendar was just too strong for my liking.  It just didn't do it for me, but the little biscuit cookie it came with was delicious.
