Lunch at B44, San Francisco,CA

San Francisco has a dearth of restaurants with outdoor seating, but there is Belden Lane, a little alley with 5 or 6 restaurants, all with outdoor seating. On a sunny day in the financial district, this is the place to go. A bit pricy for lunch, but the atmosphere is great. B44 bills itself as a Catalan bistro, and the food was, for the most part, Spanish in inspiration.


Baby Squid Stuffed with Pork and Peas and Stewed in its Own Ink $10
Tender, and a bit tangy, this was a hearty, tasty starter.


Skirt Steak Salad with Chimichurri Sauce and Avocado Salad $14
The bright flavors of the chimichurri sauce offset the richness of the beef and the avocado quite well.


Seafood Paella $20
The mussels were puny and the rice was oily. While not inedible, this was not a particularly good rendition of paella, a good version of which can be transcendent.
