RAVE - Sociale

Very impressed with Sociale, a restaurant in Laurel Heights, San Francisco.

We had an exceptional evening with Holly, Stephen, Ginger and Ross, starting with a snifter at Spruce, directly across the street.

Strolling across to Sociale, the front yard was full, with everyone enjoying the party atmosphere. We were seated inside, and began what turned out to be a very different 3.5 hour dinner than the Cafe Jacqueline experience (see August 30 RANT). Admittedly, we ate and drank almost continuously, with 3 top-notch Italian reds (Nebbiolo, Rosso di Montalcino, Nobile de Montepulciano), and an excellent Moscato D'Asti with dessert). Everything we had (stuffed olives, peppers stuffed with lamb, Fava bean risotto, lamb chop, quail) was cooked to perfection, while the service was top notch.

Hugely recommended.

Instead of this, you should've used the money to fix the fridge. I'll send you the recipe for some good home-made chili...
