Dinner at Le Charm, San Francisco, CA

We headed to Le Charm, a dependable French bistro near home where you can almost always get a table without a reservation. The service was excellent and they were able to accomodate our time constraints (we had to catch a plane).

Alexis had the 3 course prix fixe for $30, consisting of the following 3 dishes:

Escargot and Wild Mushroom Fricasee
Very good. Garlicky, herby, tender and delicious.

Steak with Gorgonzola Sauce
A tasty sauce, although the steak could have been a little bit more tender. The fries were nice and crispy as well.

Chocolate Mousse
The texture was a bit off, but there was a nice flavor of orange in the mousse.

Lobster Bisque $8
The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit gritty. Also, oddly, the bisque seemed to contain no actual lobster and seemingly no cream.
