Dinner at Jeanty at Jack's, San Francisco, CA
We headed to Jeanty at Jack's after some post-work poker with some co-workers. Jeanty is not only a great French bistro, but it is one of the only restaurants open late in the financial district. Again, it did not disappoint.
Whipped Foie Gras on Toast (gratuit)
Although we hadn't noticed a delay, our waiter appeared with apologies that our appetizers were taking a while and these little treats. The foie was light and airy and these were a perfect way to start off a nice French meal.
Tomato Bisque $9.50
The winner of our best soup of 2006 away, this soup never fails to impress. It is creamy, tomatoey and has a perfectly golden pasty crust that's a pleasure to break into with your spoon--almost like opening a present. The before picture is above, the after is below.
Escargots $10.50
These are tender and thoroughly drenched in herbed garlic butter. Yum. Giao felt they tasted a bit off, but Alexis thought they were fine, and both of us felt fine the next day.
Mussels $17.50
Wow. These were the biggest, plumpest mussels we've seen in a while. We demolished them. And the sauce was a masterpiece of it's own, definitely worth sopping up with bread.
