Boston clam chowder – Mission Street Oyster Bar

Boston clam chowder - Mission Street Oyster Bar
With green lip mussels, black mussels, clams, and shrimp. Cup $3.95
Mission Street Oyster Bar, San Francisco CA

This chowder was pretty good, but I still couldn’t get over the fact that they charged for bread and butter especially when the price point of their entrees was $20 and up. And as you can see, they only give you a few slices. I don’t think I’ve experienced this at a San Francisco restaurant – kinda un-classy.

Bread - Mission Street Oyster Bar
Bread and butter. $1.75

Wild mushroom omelet – The Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant

Wild mushroom omelet - The Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant
Bloomsdale spinach, goat cheese, fine herbs, breakfast potatoes, sourdough toast. $14
The Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant, San Francisco CA

Meh, this omelet was pretty boring even though it looked like it had pretty good ingredients. The filling was dry and bland and the eggs were under-seasoned. The toast was the best part. Boo!
