Dinner at Tablespoon, San Francisco, CA
We tried out a new restaurant, Tablespoon, tonight. Judging by the long wait, we falsely assumed the food would be good. But this place was a huge disappointment.
Macaroni and Cheese $10
This was a complimentary side brought to the tale at the beginning of the meal. It was actually the best thing we had all night--creamy and crunchy, all at the same time.
Tomato Soup (Alexis) $9
This soup was fine. Nothing special. In the middle sat grilled cheese bread and chopped chicken.
Tuna Tartare (Alexis) $12
This was easily the worst tuna tartare I've ever had (and I eat a lot of tuna tartare). Tuna should be the star of this dish, but somehow it was relegated to the background. Carrots and curcumber, of all things, took center stage.
Crab Salad (Alexis) $13
This was so horrible I can't even beleive I finished it. The crab was both watery and flavorless, as if it came out of a can. The artichoke hearts were also flavorless.
Salmon Tartare (Giao) $13
Again, in a tartare, the fish should be the main ingredient, but it was not here. This was a oddly creamy, flavorless mess.
Hanger Steak (Giao) $23
This was actually pretty good, but not amazing. They did manage to cook it to the right temperature.
