Fois Gras

1. La Folie

Neighborhood: Russian Hill

even. The foi gras (a serving the size of a deck of cards) course was tasty, but honestly you could probably saute foi gras in Night Train with a burlap garnish and it would turn out well. The other...

2. Gary Danko

Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf

their soup, and I'm sure they would have replaced it but we didn't ask. - The fois gras was almost very good, but served in too large a piece and the cherries weren't integrated into the dish well...

3. Fleur De Lys

Neighborhood: Nob Hill

For the appetizer, I ordered the duo of fois gras but there was barely any fois gras. I felt cheated. For the main entree, my seabass was  extremely dry. I've never had such overdone seabass in my...

4. Isa

3. Restaurant…

Neighborhood: Inner Richmond

onions and carrots that they had steamed and fried with a spot of butter. My man had the lamb chops that he really enjoyed much. He had the escargots as well for starters which he said were very good...

4. Le Charm French…

Neighborhood: SOMA

town menu: escargot - the traditional kind, cooked in a pool or garlic butter, best part is trying to get all the garlic butter with a piece of bread.  sirloin steak - a ton of food, it came with steamed...

5. Cote Sud

Neighborhood: Castro
