Great typical French brasserie. Thonet bentwood chairs, dimly lit, and chic menu typography. La nourriture…c’est TBD.
UPDATE on Cafe des Amis (2000 Union at Buchanan):
- Sauvignon Blance aux pichet (by the carafe!) . . . delicieux!
- French onion soup . . . to die for!
- Hanger steak-frites . . . overcooked (medium was medium well), semi-bland, but bearnaise sauce was scrumptious.
- Upside down almond cake with plums . . . indulgent!
- Complimentary mini 1″ square salted brownie . . . perhaps the definitive reason I’ll be returning asap!
P.S. The lovely Eggplant Elephant was my dinner date!
Durr, how about an address? Intersection? Anything? What are you on a date right now?
Union and something! In Cow Hollow. Use Google. I will update with the food consensus.
