Dinner at Oola, San Francisco, CA
Oola is one of our favorite spots for many reasons: it's sooo close to our apartment, it's open late, the atmosphere is cozy, yet "hip", and last, but certainly not least, the ribs. Usually the service is quite good as well, but tonight the experience was not up to par. Firstly, the timing in service was a bit off--we received our ribs about 5 seconds after the soup, so they sat there in the middle of the table getting cold while we slurped down our soup. Also, they usually have this great, thickly sliced, dark bread served in big wooden bowls and today they had standard french bread that wasn't even very fresh, and it was served on a boring white plate.
Cream of Spinach Soup with Fried Camembert $9
This would was silky in texture and light in flavor. The crispy, fried, gooey in the middle, camembert was a great compliment in both texture and flavor.
Baby Back Ribs $12
These ribs are cooked in low heat for a whopping 36 hours and the meat just falls off the bone and into your mouth. This is the first time we ordered the appetizer portion instead of the dinner portion and it proved to be not enough ribs.
Rabbit with Cinnamon and Cardamom Served on a Bed of Roasted Apples and Potatos $25
This was the special and there is a reason that it is not a regular on the menu. The flavors sounded interesting, but were not robust enough.
