Barley, English peas, pea tendrils. $32
Aziza, San Francisco CA
Wow, I loved this. The sauce was especially delicious and the plate was beautiful! The lamb tasted great but it came out more rare than I wanted. I couldn’t eat much of the center of the loin portion.
Concord grape cocktail: elderflower, peat smoke, laphroaig, scotch. $12
Manhattan. $9
San Marzano tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh basil, sea salt. $25
Una Pizza Napoletana, San Francisco CA
This tasted great, but I still wasn’t a fan of the thick doughy crust. The toppings were wonderful though. It was great watching the owner make all the pizzas though.

Anthony Mangieri busy making pizzas.
Pizza oven.
$10
Hong Kong Lounge II, San Francisco CA
I love soft shell crab and this actually had a good flavor, but it was SUPER greasy! I like the texture and flavor of tempura fried food, but they didn’t do a good job of executing this. Lame! And I’m going to mention that horrible management scandal complete with employee harassment and under-payment. Extra FAIL!
Morel mushroom, English peas, saffron. $32
Aziza, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this was delicious! The halibut was perfectly cooked and everything tasted great together. I loved the earthy flavors and the dish was well balanced.
Duvel, Belgian strong pale ale. $6
Eggs, salame, parmiggiano reggiano, buffalo mozzarella, extra-virgin olive oil, fresh garlic, fresh basil, black pepper, sea salt. $25
Una Pizza Napoletana, San Francisco CA
Um, I thought I’d like this pizza more because of all the hype. I mean, it was good but I guess it just wasn’t my style. The crust was too chewy and almost felt undercooked. I like the combination of toppings in the Apollonia though.
Menabrea Blonde Lager. $8
Black vinegar sauce. $10
Hong Kong Lounge II, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good, but super expensive especially for the Richmond. The management here is supposedly crooked too. I’ve read that they weren’t paying their employees and actually threatened them even after legal intervention!
Tsingtao. $6.25
$14
Hong Kong Lounge II, San Francisco CA
This was OK. The crab meat was labeled “fresh” on the menu, but it didn’t taste very fresh to me.
Fried quail with garlic, served with hot sauce. $10.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco CA
This was lame! The quail was dry and hard and the sharp, brittle bones were really difficult to eat around. I don’t know how in the world this dish would ever make a “Must Eat” list! 7×7 was completely wrong with this one!

Red curry with beef, Thai eggplant, bamboo shoot, red bell pepper, kaffir lime leaves. $13.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco CA
This was good. I liked the spice level and it had a wonderfully rich flavor. I thought the portion was on the small side for the price, but oh well.
Minced chicken with vegetables, chili powder, rice powder and lime based salad dressing. $9.95
Lers Ros Thai, San Francisco CA
This larb wasn’t memorable. It tasted fine, but I was expecting more since this place is pretty popular.
With organic egg. $22
April 24, 2015.
I ordered this for delivery and by the time it arrived, it wasn’t very good. All the textures were off and definitely didn’t taste as good as if it was served fresh at the restaurant. Note to self: never order Ragazza pizza for delivery.

Tomato, Calabrian chilies, mushrooms, red onion, sausage and mozzarella. Banquet-style dinner
Ragazza, San Francisco CA
Mmm, the pizzas at Ragazza are amazing! I love their thin, chewy crusts and they use the best quality toppings. They also have a pick-up option, but that’s difficult when you don’t have a car, lol!
Tree shadow, The Mission.
$8.95
Red Jade, San Francisco CA
This was pretty good, but nothing special. As long as it’s deep fried and slathered in a salty sauce, I’m usually happy though. Lol!
