Dinner at Hayes Street Grill, San Francisco, CA
Because we live in a city that is a veritable cornucopia of good restaraunts, sometimes Alexis and I play this game. We get on a random bus, and pick a person to follow off. We then go find a place to eat. This time we were a bit foiled because the intended target faked us out. Anyway, we got out in the Hayes valley. After a bit of walking we found the Hayes Street Grill. They pull a bit of a older crowd, and have a corresponding conservative decor and menu. They offer a $29 prix fix on weekdays, consisting of a choice of salad, choice of fish and dessert. Alexis did that (sans dessert) while I went ala carte. 
Ceaser Salad $9 (Alexis)--Respectable caesar, good not too creamy dressing, lots of parmasean.
Spinich with Garlic $6 (Alexis)--A little too crunchy because the stems were not removed, but good flavor.
Salmon with lemon-caper butter $22 (Alexis)--Cooked medium-rare and drenched in caper butter, this was a pretty good dish.
Beet Salad with blue cheese, walnuts and endive (Giao) $11--Good.
Scallop on a bed of corn(Giao) $22--A bit on the small side for an entree of this price because most was filler when we all know that scallops are the good part.
All in all, a solid, if uninspired meal, a little overpriced. The waiter was lacking though, having forgotten to fetch us bread, a bit brisk in manner and forgetting parts of the order.
