Chicken chorizo, eggs, scallions, peppers and jack cheese on a bed of black bean chili topped with salsa fresca, avocado and sour cream. Served with house potatoes and whole wheat toast. $9.95
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
This definitely filled me up. The scramble actually comes as a breakfast burrito, but I requested it not wrapped in a flour tortilla. I don’t need the extra carbs, hehe!
Arugula, cherry tomato and anchovy remoulade. $10
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
These sardines had really good flavor, but they were greasy! Ew. You get two decent pieces, but they also put SO much anchovy remoulade on the plate that it makes the sardines look inadequate. The remoulade was delicious, but the amount was excessive.
Wayfare Caesar: soft egg, boquerones, garlic confit, herbed breadcrumbs. $13
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA
This was a very yummy deconstructed version of a caesar salad. I loved all the different components.
Steamed Prince Edward Island Mussels: shaved Buddha’s hand, bay leaf, creme fraiche, uni butter. $15
The description of this dish sounded way better than what it was. The dish fell a little flat in my eyes and didn’t deliver all the flavor that the ingredients promised.
Baked Macaroni and Cheese: Vella dry jack, smoked olive oil. $9
Another ok dish. This wasn’t special or exciting.
Crispy Brussels Sprouts: garlic, pine nuts, parmesan. $8
These were delicious! I loved the texture of the brussels sprouts and they tasted amazing.
Two eggs over easy, cheddar cheese and corn tortillas topped with spicy ranchero sauce and served with black beans and jalapeno sour cream. $9.75
Squat & Gobble, San Francisco CA
There’s something about a large plate of huevos rancheros that just makes my morning! The version at Squat & Gobble isn’t very authentic but it tastes great. The service is always very friendly here and the people watching makes me smile.
Coffee.
Flash fried, nori wrapped tuna, albacore and asparagus with sweet soy, tobiko and scallions. Happy hour $7
Tsunami, San Francisco CA
This tasted pretty good especially since it was half off during happy hour! Most fried sushi tends to quickly get soggy, but this one stayed crispy one the outside.
Place setting.
Bay scallops, cardoons and “old bay”. $16
AQ Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This is the only thing that I distinctly remembered and enjoyed from my meal at AQ, and that’s pretty sad for such a hyped restaurant. It had a great smoky flavor and I loved the thick texture of the cream chowder portion contrasted with the liquid clear broth. I had never had “chowder” presented this way before so it was exciting and delicious. But one dish from an entire meal can’t save a disappointing overall experience.
Savory crepe with avocado, bell peppers, tomatoes, sauteed onions and cheddar topped with salsa fresca and sour cream and spicy chipotle on the side. Served with house potatoes and mixed greens with vinaigrette. $9.50
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
To me, these crepe places tend to be cookie-cutter and predictable which is both a good and bad thing. You always know what to expect, but nothing is ever new and interesting. That’s why quality is the deciding factor when comparing these establishment. Crepevine is pretty good. The food is yummy and the ingredients are of nice quality.
Mimosa. $9
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
This visit to Starbelly was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The service was horrendous and the food and drinks could not have come any slower. The time elapsed between our appetizer and entree was just stupidly long. While these cocktails tasted fine, the time it took waiting for them completely erased any enjoyment we could have derived from their consumption.
Sangria. $8
California roll topped with salmon and baked with tobiko on top. $11
Sushi Delight, San Francisco CA
The circle of life! The roll only vaguely resembles a “Lion King” but it tasted great. And no lions were harmed in its making.
Edamame. Complimentary

Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA
(From original post) Wow, these babies did not disappoint! They were frickin’ delicious! I loved their soft, eggy texture and luscious flavor. The exterior was beautifully flaky while the interior was warm and comforting. I’m not a big Tyler Florence fan, but these things rocked!

Bison Rose: Zubrowka bison grass vodka, cocchi americano, meyer lemon rosemary shrub. $13
AQ Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Ugh! We were SO excited to go to this restaurant and it was a major FAIL! The service was cold and robotic. The only person who asked us about our dinner was the busser when he cleared our entree plates. There was absolutely no joy in this restaurant. These cocktail were ok, but each a little off. I enjoyed the glassware and the stirrer/straw for the bison rose cocktail , but the flavor tasted somehow dull despite the promising ingredients. The old fashioned was the complete opposite where they probably swabbed the entire glass with citrus and pummeled the lemon twist against the sides to produced the overpowering citrus odor emanating from the this cocktail. It made me nauseous. That’s the first time I’ve ever reacted like that to an old fashioned – gross!
Old Fashioned: Eagle rare bourbon, winter bitter, sugar, twist of lemon. $12
Yuk kae jang. With sliced beef, sprouts, green onion, and mushroom. $8.75
Sorabol, San Francisco CA
I loved the flavor of the soup broth but the sliced beef was dry and chewy. Delicious Korean spices and cover up a lot of things but not over-cooked, poor quality beef. They should have just sliced them thinner.
