Dinner at Basil, San Francisco, CA

It was a friend's birthday and he had to find a reservation for 25 people with 3 days notice. He did well with Basil, a standard Thai place who was accomodating in space and also provided a family style prix fixe meal for the occasion. Usually we find Thai food a bit sweet. However, tonight we found the food pretty good, overall. It was $25 a head, not including tax, tip, or drinks.

Shrimp Chips
Standard, but a nice snack to munch on while waiting for the rest of the food to come out.

Fried Shrimp and Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce
Crispy and tasty.

Green Papaya Salad
All you could really taste was the acid in the dressing.

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
The chicken was flavorful and juicy. The toasts points were totally unnecessary.

Duck in Coconut Curry
Rich and succulent.

Phad Thai
Not too sweet, which was a nice surprise. The shrimp were well cooked as well.

Fried Shrimp
A bit too sweet for us.

Minced Chicken
Standard and not memorable.

Steak with Peanut Sauce
Mmm...peanut sauce. The steak was nice and juicy also.
