New American Cuisine!
From Larkspur Landing, ferries take you back to San Francisco, over the SF Bay, 12.6 mi to SF Ferry Bldg. Mount Tamalpais is 5.5 mi away. Stinson Beach 8.2 mi. I find myself at Larkspur Landing. I walk around & spot the Farmshop. There's a wait list & it's sweltering at the outside terrace & inside tables are booked but the bar seat opens up ~ hooray! I walk by the fire pit flames & enter conditioned space, here, I like it the most!
Open Fire in Saturday's SF heat! It's the restaurant's signature flame. Oki! First things first, hydration!
I've noticed thorough dedication in the way David mixes cocktails, little taste on the wooden stick to make sure it's right! Followed by a nod of approval or a puzzled face:) He's mixologist & his own judge, if it's not quite alright, then it's remade, or it goes back into shaker! His bar tools aligned, don't discredit a crucial part of the cocktail equation! Good shaker, bar spoon, jigger, & strainer will make stirring & shaking up your desired concoction, a breeze!
Golden Hour! Bourbon with Saffron Liqueur, Lemon, & Orgeat 16
The Tiki Drink! White Rum, Passionfruit, Lime, Creme de Noyaux 17
Each one delightful & carrying refreshing distinction! Bravo, David the mixologist! My appetite is awoken!
From the fields!
Full Belly Farms Roasted Beets, on the bed of Laura Chanel Goat Cheese, Activated Charcoal & Poppy Seeds 14
Unique, given that roasted beets nowadays are new Brussels:) they made its way onto the menus of new American California cuisine & are finally embraced by the patrons!
Wood-Fire!
Herb Roasted Jidori Chicken! 1/2 chicken with partially removed bones, Wild Black Rice, Hen of the Woods Mushrooms, Full belly farms gold bar squash & Hazelnut salsa 36
Pretty amazing! It's not your everyday white rice or its cousin the healthier brown version! These long black grains are truly wild, lemme tell ya!
But long drive home over the Golden Gate Bridge, through the City, & over the picturesque I-280 awaits me! Full belly & satisfied curiosity, Voilà! Off I go!
*I always tell you how cool you dress
It's cause I'm fashionably socialized
You're smarter, better, no, the best
Just look at me!
*There's a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He's dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
There's a chain gang on the highway
I can hear them rebels yell
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell!
