Muc rang muoi – Zadin
Salt and pepper calamari. Calamari deep fried with a salt and pepper coating, sauteed with jalapenos and scallions. Served with a cilantro lime dipping sauce. $11
Zadin, San Francisco CA
Finally made it to this neighborhood restaurant, and I liked it! We had four people in our party so it was great to try a lot of different items. This dish was really tasty, but maybe a bit over-fried. I loved the jalapenos and the cilantro lime sauce was different and yummy.

Pineapple sponge cake – Gary Danko
Complimentary with dinner.
Gary Danko, San Francisco CA
What a delicious parting gift! French Laundry sends you off with shortbread cookies, and Gary Danko gives you a beautifully wrapped sponge cake to enjoy the next day. Little touches like these really sets stellar restaurants apart!
