Mmm, all of these were SO delicious! They were expertly made and I loved all the different textures and flavors. I also loved the pickled fennel and herbs and the little bowl of aspic was a great touch. I will definitely be back for another chef selection.

Moules frites - Aquitane
Fennel, saffron bouillon, garlic-parsley batonnes, served with fries. $15
Aquitane, San Francisco CA

Meh, I wasn’t impressed. The flavors were ok, but the mussels were small, a bit dry and shriveled. Even the toast was gummy and hard to chew.

These frites were just ok for me. If you’re going to be on some food list, you better be frickin’ amazing, but there just weren’t. They were limp and soggy, and a bit greasy – definitely what you’re looking for in amazing French fries. Boo!
