Dinner at Fringale, San Francisco, CA

We met Giao's sister and brother-in-law for dinner at our favorite French bistro in the city. This place never disappoints and though the menu doesn't change often, there's really no need for change. The standards are delicious.


Calamari a la Plancha $10
This dish is a great deviation from the ubiquitous fried calamari dishes. Sauteed with roasted red peppers, jalapeno and chorizo, this dish is light and spicy and packed with flavor.


Steamed Mussels $16
This heaping bowl of mussels was served in a sauce of garlic, herbs and sherry vinegar.


Ribeye with Red Wine Butter $24
The steak is huge and tender. The red wine butter is flavorful and succulent and the pommes frites are crisoy and cut from real potatoes. We always ask for a side of their homemade (and utterly delicious) mayonnaise.


Skirt Steak with Thick Cut Crispy Potatoes $25
This was the special of the day and while the steak was tasty, the thick cut, deep fried potato chips were the stars of the show. They were crispy on the outside and a bit chewy on the inside and they were smothered with garlic and herbs.
