Compass or Telepan?
felt that teleplan was like a beautiful girl with no personality. all the ingredients were good esp the foie gras but the overal combos did not click and several dishes were not served hot. service was outstanding
great meal at harrison
the ambience was a cross between the upper east side and tribeca, which is actually a compliment. the speecial apps of fried clams and scallops with endive were superb and both the duck with foie gras and calves liver had touches that made them very interesting. the desserts were too sweet but by then i didnt care as the great service and unique cocktails were making us feel just fine. a place of real integrity and personbalized service which is unique in ny for a restaurant of that size(about 100 tops)
sushi places for a 1st date...
agree that even yasuda has gotten a taste of sushi arrogance
gari arrogance
had to leave the sushi bar at west side gari after fifteen minutes of total avoidance from all three chefs. i thought nothing could top the rudeness of jack at bako but i am increasinglyfinding a level of haughtiness at our top sushi emporiums are we alone? fortunately went to bar at cru for great duck risotto and turley zin
Per Se price increase
over 250... 1500plus for a 1982 latour wont get 20%from me etc
Choosing between the harrison or Town or Red Cat?
i meant to say at town its too salty
Choosing between the harrison or Town or Red Cat?
they put too much salt on everything or at least last night too bad as great bar

loved elisabeth daniel, hence coi.thought slanted door was good to very good so poleng looked like ahipper version. never had great italian so perbacco seemed interesting and there is universal buzz on cyrus. never enjoyed fleur de lys gary danko et al as i thought too self important and not particularly generic to sf. would eat at swans or old aqua over those.loved tacquerias and never had great sushi vs ny. choices came from chron top 10 as i thought bauer was pretty consistent. price or price to value not a concern hope that helps

lived in sf 2000-2 and back for a week in feb. have to edit out one of poleng, coi, perbacco or cyrus. love some help
