RAVE - Epic Roasthouse

Epic has all the ingredients for a great night out: an ideal position with a view of the Bay Bridge light show, valet parking, great bar and superb food.

Shame about the two blondes on the front desk, who couldn't organize a party in a brewery. But once past them, we were indundated with service - not all of it effective mind you, but they made up for it in numbers. We counted 9 people who served us!

Jan Beerbaum - owner and all around crusty host and head chef - got us off to a great start by helping us with our meat plate appetizer - pork rillettes, duck proscuitto, country pate, and so on, and then our lobster and artichoke salad and endive, treviso, apple, and walnut vinaigrette salad. Too much salad? Nah, it was just right.

I don't think we've been here for four or five years, when last time our friend Bill declared Epic as having the most expensive burger - $50, and not worth it - he'd ever had.
