With whipped cream. $8

I love a good apple tarte tatin and this one was very yummy! I also loved the caramelization and beautiful color. Simple and delicious never fails to impress.

Chicken in a red wine sauce with potato puree, bacon, and pearl onions. $24
L’Ardoise, San Francisco CA
This entree was another rich dish, but what do you expect from a French restaurant? Hehe. This classic dish was pretty tasty I’l have to say.

Pan seared all natural Creekstone Farm steak, with pommes frites and St. Emilion sauce. $24
L’Ardoise, San Francisco CA
Wow, this dish was very rich (even as steak frites go). I think it was the St. Emilion sauce (which I’m guessing is a red wine-based sauce with lots of butter) that put it over the top. Even the lovely french fries couldn’t stand up to that heavy sauce. Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but you certainly get your fill after a few bites.

Bouillot Cremant de Bourgogne sparkling rose. $7
With sauce vierge and fresh mixed herbs. $11
L’Ardoise, San Francisco CA
Wow, this appetizer certainly was rich! If I hadn’t looked it up, I would have been certain that the sauce vierge had cream in it. These ravioles simply melted and in your mouth and had a lovely seafood flavor. I’m not sure I could have eaten much more than half the dish though. I needed to save room for my large entree (and alcohol, lol).
Baguette and butter. Complimentary
