Dinner at Brick, San Francisco, CA
We got a recommendation from our cab driver for Brick, a place we hadn't even heard of. We were very pleasantly surprised. The food was great and well priced. The service was fast and friendly. And the bar seats were great. Usually Alexis is not a fan of eating at the bar, but this bar was wide and had real, swiveling seats with backs instead of the standard bar stool.
Salume Plate $10
Tuscano, Gentile, Tescanoe served with pickeled kumquats and jalapeno dice. The condiments were so interesting and flavorful, and you really can't go wrong with cured meats.
Hamachi Sashimi $9
Served with goma vinaigrette, shiso and ginger dust. This was subtle in flavor and quite nice.
Flounder Carpaccio $9
Garnished with pickled rhubarb, sea beans, basil and coriander, this was interesting and very thinly sliced, which is nice.
Herbed Fries $5
We usually don't order fries, but these just sounded so good. And they were. Covered with cilantro and garlic chips and served with a curry ketchup, the only problem was that they were a bit too salty for our taste.
Confit Buffalo Wings $8
These were more confit balls that used the bone as a handle, but they were interesting and very good. The root slaw, pepper gastrique and gorgonzola foam were innovative takes on the preparation of this classic bar food.
