With sauteed pork belly, French green lentils, brussels sprouts, parsnip veloute. New Year four-course tasting menu $80
RN74, San Francisco
I think this was my least favorite dish of the evening. The arctic char was fine, I just forgot out oily of a fish it is. Also the pork belly was ALL fat, I expected it to have some meet on it. Oily fish plus a cube of pork fat really didn’t work for me. The other components were pretty good. I loved the lentils and the veggies were also tasty.
Project 365: Day 48
Boring day today so far. Not much planned, just WGL. Ok, maybe not laundry. I gotta really focus on my eating habits from now until the cruise. I’d love to lose at least some of my belly fat. I guess eating ice cream isn’t helping, lol!
Organic dry cherry ice cream. I finally made it to Xanath! It’s a super small ice cream shop on Valencia, next to Dosa. They have a nice selection of flavors and the service is friendly. It’s not too busy in there so you don’t feel guilty trying out different flavors. They have a couple benches in front of the store and its also next to a dinosaur parklet. Heck yeah! The ice cream was good, but little on the dense side. I do appreciate that they use organic ingredients. I’d return and support this neighborhood shop. Child scoop $1.99

With braised short rib, sunchokes, grilled romaine, bone marrow bordelaise. New Year four-course tasting menu $80
RN74, San Francisco
Wow, this was very large, rich, and all the components were filling and decadent. The only complaint was that the rib eye was ordered medium, but this was way rare! That’s a thick cut and the center was still cold and bloody. The short ribs was delicious as was the bone marrow. They should give you some bread to spread it on though otherwise you’re left spreading it on the beef which is was to rich. We used the house bread, but what if we had already finished it or we didn’t want any in the first place? That said, I still enjoyed the dish.
With avocado, green apple, pistachio, trout roe. $10 supplement. New Year four-course tasting menu $80
RN74, San Francisco
I think there’s also pea shoots in there! This was very good and very different. Most of the textures were soft and creamy, but the crisp apples were a nice contrast. The avocado was almost like a mouse and they put it on the bottom of the bowl. The sea urchin tasted clean and fresh and the trout roe added a little saltiness. Very tasty!
