paul and i went to dinner to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary two fridays ago. we had originally planned on going to napa to have lunch at morimoto and go to wine tasting at cheateau st. jean, but michelle was sick for almost a week so we had to cancel our plans.
we decided to eat at baker and banker a week later... it was voted to be one of the best restaurants in the san francisco bay area in 2011. it was a small restaurant that seats maybe less than 50 people at a time. the pastry chef (lori baker) and the chef (jeff banker) came out to greet the diners which i think was a very nice touch.
House smoked trout, potato latke, horseradish cream, pickled beets, shaved fennel
Grilled gulf prawns, fresh shelling bean, oven dried tomato and baby artichoke salad, Castelvetrano olive tapenade
Soy and mirin braised black cod, foie gras-shitake sticky rice, grilled bok choy
Slow roasted pork shoulder, pan friend semolina spaetzle, sweet corn, black mission figs
Jonathan apple crisp, white cheddar streusel, bacon brittle ice cream
the food was great! i loved all of the dishes i ordered...paul was not too happy with his order especially after he had a taste of my entree. the cod at baker and banker is one of the top 5 dishes i've ever had in my life. yes, it was that good!
i would love to go back in a heartbeat! the price was not too bad...paul and i each had a glass of wine. i could have had two but i didn't want to look like the 'big drinker' at our table. =D paul hardly and rarely drinks. i drink enough for the two of us. =D
