Slanted Door - Netty and I had dinner this week at the deservedly much-lauded restaurant, The Slanted Door. The eatery has temporarily relocated South of Market from its usual Mission district digs in San Francisco, but the quality of the food remained excellent. Apparantly, the old location is undergoing extensive renovations that hopefully will resolve some of the issues in original cramped space. The wait was still very lengthy without a reservation, but it was made more tolerable by sharing some vegetarian spring rolls and chicken satay in the bar, to compliment our limeade martini and mandarin blossom cosmo. When we finally sat down to a table, we had a delicious mix of sugar snap peas, fresh sweet corn with minced pork and a claypot chicken that had a rich, but sweet sauce. I'm still wondering what happened to Livefire, the original inhabitant of the Brannen St. location, but I definitely plan to bring Kevin with me and return to the Slanted Door.
