Herb roasted chicken breast – Waterbar

Herb roasted chicken breast - Waterbar
Potato galette, roasted rhubarb, rhubarb mostarda. Lunch prix fixe $30
Waterbar, San Francisco CA

I loved the flavors of this dish especially from the rhubarb, but the chicken was really dry! Even the potato galette was dry so I was pretty disappointed. The plate looked beautiful though.

Grilled chicken salad bowl – Freshroll Vietnamese Rolls & Bowls

Grilled chicken salad bowl - Freshroll Vietnamese Rolls & Bowls
Lettuce, sprouts, cilantro, cucumber, jalapeño, pineapple, basil, bell pepper, carrot, scallion, pickled veggies. $7.94
Freshroll Vietnamese Rolls & Bowls, San Francisco CA

This was actually pretty tasty, but there wasn’t much food. I guess salads just don’t fill me up, and they don’t include much chicken. I would’ve opted for the extra meat, but I don’t think they would have added much for $2.50.

Bbq belly and grits – Magnolia Pub and Brewery

Bbq belly and grits - Magnolia Pub and Brewery
Anson Mills cheddar grits, poached eggs, fried shallots. $14
Magnolia Pub and Brewery, San Francisco CA

Gross! This was probably the most bland dish I’ve ever eaten that had pork belly and/or grits in it; and I’ve eaten a lot of dishes! I ate half of it because I was starving, then couldn’t eat any more of the crap. The service was also atrocious! The seater tried to make a joke but ended up just being offensive. I didn’t get water until halfway through the meal, and the server was completely clueless about everything whenever she decided to make a rare appearance. I don’t think I have any reason to return to this restaurant.
