Having said I don't usually review breakfast spaces, today's brunch at Chez Spencer was special (and therefore review-worthy) for a number of reasons:
1. We were celebrating Jen and Sue's recent wedding
2. er, that's reason enough
Chez Spencer is an all-too-easy-to-miss establishment in The Mission, and a top-notch location for dinner. Only lately (I think) have they started opening for brunch, and even if it's not a recent development, this is the first time we've eaten anything other than dinner there.
Despite Chez Spencer's usual dinner top-notch-ness, their brunch is probably a little too fancy for pure relaxation.
For example:
Omelette aux fines herbes
Foie Gras Au Torchon
Wild mushroom tartine with poached egg
Cauliflower veloute with parmesan crisp
Filet mignon with morels a la creme & truffle butter
Together with the champagne, Sazerac, and martini cocktails, our dining choices sounded fabulous, but somehow ended up just OK. There wasn't much to fault in the food - perhaps we were all in a corned beef hash mood.
Thank heaven the get-together was more than just about the food.
