Fois Gras

1. Gary Danko

Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf

definitely overhyped and extremely inconsistent.  some dishes were exellent--the seared fois gras appetizer was one of the best i've had except that they didn't properly clean or remove the stringy...

2. Chapeau!

Neighborhood: Outer Richmond

okay i think. since i came here on a weekend night, i didn't get to take advantage of their reduced prix fixe. i ordered the fois gras, lamb and a dessert and was also able to sample the onion soup...

3. La Folie

Neighborhood: Russian Hill

their fois gras, it melts in your mouth and is worth the clogging of your arteries. Both times I had the prix fix menu, and it was worth every dollar. It is REALLY pricey, but I would go...

4. Masa's

3. Le Charm French…

Neighborhood: SOMA

fat.  My other tablemates had apps of the salmon tartare, the French onion soup, the escargot and mixed greens.  For entrees, they had the coq au vin, the halibut (2), and this steak done Napoleon style...

4. La Bergerie…

Neighborhood: Inner Richmond

Service was great, wine selection was fair and cheap.  Escargot was delicious but how hard is it to sautee snails in butter?  My husband ordered the rabbit (how he could eat a house pet is beyond me...

5. Jeanty At Jacks

Neighborhood: Financial District

the exact same dishes we had there. Too predictable but at least we can make a direct comparison. Escargot in garlic butter, Tomato Bisque in puff pastry, and Steak pom frites. Don't get me wrong...
