Lunch at Monte Cristo Cafe, San Francisco, CA

Still suffering from the ill after effects of the flu, we decided to have a light lunch at the Monte Cristo Cafe. The cafe is the Embarcadero Center, with a large dining area and bar, and lodge-like decor. We sat on some sort of dias, with windows facing out toward the Ferry building. The service was friendly, but a bit clueless. At the end of the meal we recieved a check with a 13% tax. They straightened it out, but it's a bit suspicious anyway.

Bibb Lettuce Salad (with blue cheese, roasted chestnuts and a creamy tarragon dressing) $7
This salad was strange. All of the ingredients sounded good together, but something didn't quite gel.


French Onion Soup $7
The soup was mediocre at best. Despite it's small size, Alexis could barely finish it. The cheese was of poor quality and the flavor lacked a certain depth.

Rating:
Food: N/A (I don't feel comfortable rating food while sick, but if pressed I would say 0)
Decor: 1
Service: 1 (Arguably a 0 with the tax problem)
