Spruce San Francisco

Spruce in San Francisco gave me a beautifully plated and delicious dining experience in Presidio Heights

After checking in at Laurel Inn, I quickly made myself ready for my dinner at Spruce.

I was welcomed with warmth and comfort as I was led to my seat. It was exactly what I desired after such a long day of travel – relaxed refinement in a beautiful space.

As I settled in and browsed the menu, I just felt – taken care of. That’s the best way to describe the service and nature of Spruce.

The bread, followed by two lovely accoutrements, were absolutely delicious.

I took a recommendation from the hostess and ordered the  SWEET CORN VELOUTÉ (Cornbread Crumble, Jimmy Nardello Peppers, Basil Creme Fraîche). This was a sensory delight. The pouring of the velouté sauce onto my bowl was just – perfection.

Sometimes, presentation is everything.

For my main entree, I ordered the MAINE LOBSTER SPAGHETTI (English Peas, Tomato-Saffron Bouillon). Again, absolutely delicious and the right choice for dinner.

Due to the lateness of the hour, I opted to take my delicious BEIGNETS (Chocolate Sauce, Crème Anglaise) to go, so I could savor them back at the hotel.

But, the various dessert delights – especially the poached peaches with olive oil ice cream – was excellent.

Just look at that honeycomb.

I look forward to returning to Spruce again.
