San Francisco, CA
A place that we've been wanting to try with J & V...finally...
The layout of the menu option was similar to La Folie whereby you have the option of choosing their seasonal tasting menu or creating a three-, four-, or five-course tasting menu. Price was very reasonable.
Amuse Bouche:
Carrot soup with Saffron cream
Rose
Risotto with Rock Shrimp, Dungeness Crab, Shimeji Mushrooms and Asparagus
The risotto was the best tasting dish of the night! Rich in flavor with very generous portion. especially given that it's an appetizer!

Glazed Oysters with Osetra Caviar, Zucchini Pearls and Lettuce Cream
~
Seared Foie Gras with Caramelized Onions and Vanilla Poached Rhubarb
~
Roast Maine Lobster with Potato Purée, Chanterelle Mushrooms, Edamame and Tarragon
The Roast Maine Lobster has been a staple dish of Danko's for a while/ The puree complemented the lobster so well.
