I love blue cheese and this was delicious. It wasn’t as strong and pungent as some other blue cheeses, but it had a great flavor and texture. Noms!

I like Cowgirl Creamery cheese, but I have to save that it was the Palladin toast and lemon honey that really made this cheese course. Noms!

I’m back!!! Sorry I’ve been away for over a month. I had family obligations and then was traveling for work. But it’s nice to be back in San Francisco. Hope you all have been doing great!
This sandwich was very tasty. The pork had a nice smoky flavor to it, but it definitely benefited from a few healthy doses of bbq sauce while eating. I liked the mac and cheese but thought it could have been creamier.

This onion soup was warm, rich, and very yummy. I loved the crusty pieces of bread on top with cheese melted all over it. The soup was packed with flavor and totally hit the spot.

1760, San Francisco CA
I think that this dish was pretty to look at, but it didn’t taste very good. I don’t think that all the tropical flavors really accentuated the lobster, and the sticky white sauce on the bottom was just weird and had a off-putting texture. I couldn’t even recognize some of the ingredients and was left wondering what exactly went wrong.
Cheese bites with sweet jelly, micro basil. Complimentary
Rucoletta. Shaved fennel, parmesan, oil, lemon. $7
Pesce, San Francisco CA

Mmm, these little bites were great! We decided to try a variety for the table, and I’m happy with the items we decided on because they were all delicious. Noms! I don’t know why not more people like chicken livers though. I think they taste wonderful and these fegatini were prepared perfectly.
