Romaine hearts, Italian anchovies, brioche croutons, crispy capers, creamy parmesan dressing. Pre fixe dinner $52 each
Ad Hoc, Yountville CA
I really love a well balanced caesar salad, and this one was perfect. The brioche croutons and crispy capers added extra crunch against the delicious dressing, and the robust anchovies added a sporadic zing. Everything tasted so fresh, noms!
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Three course dinner prix fixe $35
Cafe Bastille, San Francisco CA
I liked that they included olives and gherkins to this simple mesclun salad. I love pickled foods so it was a nice addition to an otherwise boring plate of leaves. 🙂
Caipirinha: cachaca, lime juice, sugar. $9
Gyros meat with hummus, tzatziki, and small Greek salad. Served with pita. $8.95
Ayola, San Francisco CA
This place doesn’t serve the best greek food in San Francisco, but I like them anyway. They’re fast and they give you a lot of food. They’re food is actually pretty good too and I love their hot sauce. Just know that their olives still have pits so don’t bite down too hard.

Mmm, I love peppery arugula simply dressed and topped with parmesan shavings. These basic flavors are work perfectly together and whet the appetite for more to come.

Not too impressed with this cocktail – it was off tasting.
Vegan “chicken” sandwich served with salad. $9
Dear Mom, San Francisco CA
This sandwich made by Hella Vegan Eats pop-up was actually pretty tasty. As you can see from my blog, I’m a total carnivore so this was a surprisingly pleasant change. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the vegan food, but they tasted great and I didn’t even miss the meat. Will it convert me to veganism? Absolutely not, lol! But I applaud HVE for the great food.

I love roasted beets and this salad had a awesome combination of flavors and textures. It was super refreshing and delicious. I’ve never had Ethiopian wot before, but this mushroom wot reminded me of an Italian crostini. It tasted great!

Baby gems with a creamy pesto dressing, topped with chives and toasted almonds. Small $8
Little Star Pizza, San Francisco CA
I’m not a big salad guy (I like to eat meat), but this goddess salad was delicious. The simple combination of the pesto dressing and toasted almonds on top of the large, crisp gem lettuce was perfect. And the small order was perfect for two people. Yum!

Grilled eggplant soaked in sweet tangy vinaigrette. 250 PHP
Mesa, Boracay PHILIPPINES
I really do love eating eggplants, so it was a shame and annoying that this grilled eggplant salad wasn’t very good. It tasted WAY too sour the eggplants were cooked unevenly. Some were undercooked and on the hard side, and others were overcooked and super mushy. Lame!

Grilled chicken, romaine lettuce, bacon, hard-boiled eggs and croutons, creamy parmesan dressing on the side. 265 PHP
Epic, Boracay PHILIPPINES
Mmm, this salad was really tasty! The ingredients were of good quality and I liked how neatly it was presented for a salad. The thick shavings of parmesan cheese were great on top.

Served with side salad. $6
Cassava, San Francisco CA
This quiche was pretty good, but it was super small! Even with the salad, was I starving for more food. I had already mentioned that we actually walked up the street and got dumplings after this because it just wasn’t a substantial meal. Yay for the products, boo for the portions.

This tuna salad was really good! The tuna was fresh tasting and seared perfectly on the outside while the center was still pink and tender. I also liked the presentation with the height of the salad.
Weng-weng cocktail. Pitcher 580 PHP
This cocktail was surprisingly delicious and strong! We asked if they could make it less sweet than normal, and they did a great job.
