Le Colonial San Francisco - Highly Recommended
We went to Le Colonial last night in San Francisco. Hands down, it beats the version in New York City. First, the location is a hook in itself: it is nestled away in an alley. You enter a building and the restaurant stretches way back, much longer than you would expect. The ambiance is much more relaxing than at its sister in NYC. They even have a heated patio. Second, the service was impeccable. Our waitress could have played the part of the Perfect Waitress in a Hollywood movie.
Third, the food was more imaginative. We started with duck rolls, which came with crispy lettuce and a sour sauce. It was clearly a popular dish: Everyone around us got that to start. For main courses, we got the sturgeon with cold noodles--an excellent pairing of salty fish and a vinegar dish to punch through the savory. The other main course was the scallops and shrimp in curry with potatoes, eggplant, and mango. A Cline syrah was the perfect accent. We were so impressed with the food and service, we forgot to take pictures. (Sorry.)
