Vermicelli rice noodles with greens. $8.95
Sunflower Vietnamese Restaurant, San Francisco CA

Ugh, I was not impressed… The chicken was dry and really salty so don’t even think about adding any of the fish sauce – you’ll pass a kidney stone. The imperial rolls were delicious, perhaps on the greasy side. I liked the noodles and the fried scallions, but the chicken was gross.

Toasted pine nuts and Bucheron goat’s milk cheese, Italian summer truffles. $17
Boulevard, San Francisco CA

While the filling of these raviolis weren’t molten hot (more lukewarm), they were still absolutely delicious! I loved the flavor of the runny pea filling and the bow tie pasta shapes were very charming. Noms!

Pt. Reyes blue cheese, watercress, toasted hazelnuts. Lunch prix fixe $30
Waterbar, San Francisco CA

Simple and delicious! I loved the perfect wedges of purple and golden beets (go Huskies!). Local Point Reyes blue cheese is great with everything, and the minimal dressing was perfect in showcasing the main components. Noms!
