First food review: The House, Asian Fusion
The House is an asian fusion restaurant located in North Beach area next to the famous Stinking Rose and the equally famous Big Al’s adult bookstore. The quality of the food, the price, and the service are so in-sync that it is difficult to leave this restaurant unhappy (i.e. I was really satisfied).
An interesting characteristic of this restaurant is that although they have a fixed menu, when we arrived, the waiter provided an additional ~10 choices to the menu (split between some appetizers, desserts, but mostly entrees) which change frequently (he said).
Ups:
- Good food!
- Metropolitan, modern interior and atmosphere
- Interesting asian fusion drink selection
Downs:
- A little cramped seating
Bottom line:
An excellent choice for a dinner at any time. Couples good food at the appropriate price with an varied selection.
Possibly the best recommendation was provided by the people (from out of town) sitting next to me at the restaurant: “When I do make it to the bay area, I always come here and Chez Panisse [in Berkeley]”
Dishes I tried:
Australian Rack of Lamb with Korean Spices
Large serving size rack of lamb rubbed with Korean chili spices. Very tender, very tasty.
