Anyone tried Loló? SF
I think the most expensive thing on the menu was the flank steak priced at $18. The other plates (starters) -- scallops, calamari, and shrimp -- were priced around $9 - $12, I believe. So, those four dishes and a bottle of wine cost approximately $80 (wine was $30). Very fair pricing and the proportions were good size. Actually, we probably ordered a bit too much food, but it was good we finished every last bite.
Anyone tried Loló? SF
Tried Lolo last night -- it's really impressive.
The cuisine is a fusion of Latin American with Turkish/Mediterranean. All the ingredients are local and organic. Incredibly fresh.
Panko-encrusted fried Shrimp wrapped in jicama -- Exceptional. Never had anything like it. The thinly sliced jicama serves as the tortilla, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked.
Scallops -- Again, perfectly cooked. The scallops melt in your mouth, and the sauce is incredibly flavorful yet subtle.
Calamari -- Wonderfully fried, yet light and not greasy at all. Once again, the sauce paired perfectly with the squid.
Flank Steak -- Tender and cooked to perfection. So flavorful.
The space is completely redesigned from the days of Vogalonga -- the room on the right now includes a bar with about 10 seats, a great addition to the restaurant.
When we dined at Lolo, it was 3/4 full, but I don't expect that to last much longer. It's going to be packed soon, especially on the warm nights you can sit outside and enjoy the food. The unique decor and friendly service just added to the experience.
Glad I live a block away.
Patio-dog friendly in SF?
Kookez on 24th (@ Castro) in Noe has a nice back patio on which they allow pups. They really love dogs -- might even offer your hound some scrambled eggs.
