RAVE - Baker and Banker

1701 Octavia Street has had a charmed life.

When we moved to San Francisco 12 years ago, we were wowed by the Elisabeth Daniel restaurant that occupied that address. 

Then came Quince, which we also loved. Quince has moved to a larger space near Jackson Square, making way for Baker and Banker (like Elisabeth Daniel, the restaurant gets its name from the 2 partners).

David and Felicia (another partnership, sadly yet to open a successful restaurant) treated us to dinner there last night, and it was sensational.

I can't remember what everyone had, but the tempura asparagus and pate appetizers I tried to get all to myself, and the Rib-eye was perfection. A couple of glasses of medicinal vino and yours truly was a very happy camper.

Thank you David. Thank you Felicia.
