RAVE - Les Clos

In my continuing quest to sample every new restaurant in San Francisco, even if they're only new to me rather than the City itself, and in my other, related quest to keep Mrs P happy with where she's dining, we ate at Les Clos.

On the downside it's near the baseball stadium - usually a negative where restaurants are concerned - and perhaps consequentially it lacks a "date" vibe. This latter downside is especially important when escorting the elegant female half of the household around SF on a chilly evening.

On the upside, the food was sensational!

My escortee chose the cheese appetizer, with the Petrale Sole, turnips, and snap peas for her main meal.

I had the Morels, Foie Gras, and Peas. This dish alone is worth a visit to Les Clos.
I followed it with the Poulet Basquez, with Padron peppers, and Cous Cous. While not necessarily to the standard set by the Morels, it rounded out the dinner almost as well as a Cassoulet from Bistro Jeanty might have done.

Les Clos heralds its wine selection, which is pretty large. But if you know your wine, or at least know what you like, it's a good but hardly outstanding collection.

Nevertheless, the food was a success even if the surroundings were unremarkable.
