Yum and yawn

[madbaker]

Went out with a broker last night - his traders were in from New York. We had dinner at Farallon, which was quite nice. I particularly liked the jellyfish chandeliers.

Since none of us had been there before, we took the waiter's recommendation and tried the taster menu: five courses, starting with an amuse-bouche of fennel soup (in a demi-tasse cup) and ahi tartare, two kinds of fish, duck breast with huckleberries, and a miniature chocolate cake. Each dish came with its own glass of wine. Excellent food, if pricier than I would be comfortable paying. But I wasn't, so what the hey.

So I'm bleary this morning. Not hung over, by any stretch of the imagination; just not quite tracking. It's a reminder of why I don't normally go out on weeknights when the alarm goes off at 4 AM...

I just followed your link to the place and realized the places were different. I'd hoped to delete my comment before it was noticed. You were faster than that.

Pure luck that I happened to be logged in. I only check a couple times a day, normally.

I see what you mean -- the food looks amazing, but I'd be staring at the chandeliers all night. They are fabu!
