Most of these restaurant are either highly popular or small. For instance, one week in advance might not be early enough to get a table at L’Express (which, by the way, I highly recommend if you like french bistro food and...

with red wine, served with a small timbale of goat cheese tartar (S/.22). It was very good and the kitchen split the soup for us which was very nice. The timbale had a strong taste of olive which was surprising because the dish...

amuses; a spicy tuna tartare in a sesame cone, followed by a warm crab gratin accompanied by the Billecart-Salmon Rose (one of my favourite champagnes; on the wine list at $15 per glass but served ‘complimentary’ with...

correctly, and entrees go for about $18-20. They serve the traditional French bistro appetizers like escargots as well as tuna tartare, both of which are solid. I recently tried their veal with gnocchi entree. Gnocchi is made...

Hawthorne St San Francisco, CA (415) 777-9779 I’ve had a number of excellent lunches recently at Aqua. Superb fish. (Smoked salmon terrine with blini, hamachi tartare, seared scallops-all lovely). A bit pricey but well...

best to not embarass the host(ess). Some people do not eat raw fish. If tuna tartare is the appetizer, pu around a little to give it a try. Never say , “Eew that's raw!” Politeness is key to this. Jfood does not like...

. The foods I won’t make at home are the ones that I just don’t trust myself with- sushi, any kind of tartare, and desserts with raw eggs in them. I’d rather get it in a restaurant :)

One year I went to a restaurant buffet where they didn’t put cranberry sauce on the table. For some mysterious reason there was a huge crock of tartar sauce. I mistook the vat of strawberry jelly for cranberry sauce. Now...

in the morning let alone make a restaurant look great! It’s also interesting that none of the chefs ever understand that there needs to be continuity to the menu. Tuna Tartar, Rissoto and Lamb Shank really don’t blend...

. To illustrate with a hypothetical example that is trivial and extreme, someone who complains that a beef tartare dish was undercooked is probably not doing a good job. At the end of the day, all I want to know from a review is...

in lots of lime juice and spices —Grilled vegetables (I have an indoor “Griddler” and LOVE it!) with grilled haloumi cheese and grilled sausages —Steak Tartare (sirloin, cubed and chopped in a processor,...

On the service front @ Neo-I ordered the rock shrimp tempura & wanted tempura dipping sauce instead of the tartar based sauce it came with so they argued with me about it-brought me the tempura dipping sauce & charged me $2.00...

I love raw hamburger meat in all it’s guises. At home with a little salt, kitfo at Ethiopian restaurants, tartare, etc.

another. To make his cornets filled with salmon tartare and crème fraîche, one must first figure out how to make “a 4-inch hollow circular stencil.” Then the cook must balance a baking sheet on the open door of a hot oven and set...

Aqua. I’ve been three times, and have nothing memorable each time. Sure, the tuna tartare was good, but the rest was nothing special.
