I was planning to swoop in, praise my recent meal at Corduroy (which I wrote up in detail on my blog if anyone wants to read it) and then be on my merry way.
But all this scallop silliness...wow. All I can say is that we didn't order the scallops -- they're on every menu you see, at least in San Francisco, and so we were more interested in the more unusual items like Niman Ranch pork belly (amazing) and lamb sirloin (not a cut you see much). Both were out of this world, as was everything else we put in our greedy little mouths that night.
And our waiter was very, very cool.
But my point is don't go for the scallops, go for the meal. No matter what you get, it'll wow you, as long as you don't set your heart on one thing and one thing only.
