The week I got to SF we had dinner with Evelyn, J's sister, who was in town on vacation. We ended up at The House in Grant Street.

I would say that the food was Asian / Fusion as I cannot classify their food into a specific country cuisine. Doesn't matter though, the food was GREAT. You must try this restaurant when you are in SF.

It's a pity that J didn't have a camera with him because the food looked as good as it tasted. I have noticed recently that I usually start gobbling before thinking to take pictures so maybe even if the equipment was present it wouldn't really make a difference haha.

Here's what we had.

Foie gras on Shiitake mushrooms, with a sweet sauce I really don't know what was in this sauce but it was delicious delicious delicious, at par with the foie gras of Aqua.

Deep-fried salmon roll with chinese hot mustard Oh this was terrific. The salmon was wrapped in a crisp thin wonton wrapper and partially seared. After the initial crisp crunch, the fish just melted in my mouth. And the hot mustard clears your nasal passages just like wasabi.

Seared tuna on a bed of greens with a ginger sesame sauce Delicious, but was overshadowed by the foie gras and salmon roll

Warm wasabi house noodles with angus flatiron steak Pretty good, the wasabi noodles were mildly biting...but I have to say House's strength is in their small plates (appetizers)

Dark chocolate truffle cake with pecans a la mode (bitter macadamia ice cream) with some heavenly syrup I cannot remember what it is called (my brain cells must have short-circuited from all the yumminess) I could have finished this all by myself, but shared with Evelyn and J...still, even a third was good enough

I went home with a happy tummy :)
