Lunch in SF

What a great way to end a very exhausting week.

A and I went to Jeanty at Jack's in San Francisco, a French Bistro. It's a cozy place that serves absolutely mouth-watering French cuisine. It is uncomplicated, superbly-prepared French bistro food. And that's a fact.

I had the Tomato Bisque en Croute to start with. It is absolutely the best tasting tomato soup ever!!! It is uniquely serve on a white ceramic bowl with pastry covering it. When I dug my spoon into it, the soup was steaming hot. The taste is heavenly. A ordered a salad but too much vinaigrette I guess so they had to replace it.

Then I ordered Smoked Salmon Carpaccio while A went for Cassoulet. I give the Salmon dish 5 stars. I had a bite of A's Cassoulet and that is something that I would have to order next time I'm at Jack's. Everything just tasted so good, deeply satisfying and expertly executed.

The ambiance of this French bistro is warm. We were seated on the mezzanine level which provided reasonable privacy. Noise level was ok until lunch crowd from the financial district started coming in.

I had fun though. Great food, great conversation. I really had a great time.

A perfect ending to a very stressful week.... :)
