We went out to dinner for my Birthday at the "Cliff House". The restaruant is located along the sunset district of San Francisco and the restaurant is situated along the cliff of the water. Over looking the water, there are large rock formations.
We go to the restaurant around 7pm and sunset was at around 8pm so we got to view the sunset. They asked if we wanted to wait for a window seat but it was okay the booth was comfortable and I was hungry and didn't want to wait.
The menu is largely sea food. I over heard that they change their menu every month so the selection was not vast. For appetizer, David got the salmon slivers (i.e. house smoked salmon arranged on the plate) and I got dollops of oysters. Was good.
For Dinner I got the scallops and David got the filet minion & lobster tail (surf and turf) with risotto and mushrooms. The Scallops were nicely cooked. There were 5 big plump ones. The salad was a fresh spinach salad with sautéed mushrooms and avocado slices.
The filet was also good but not great. But it's nice to have a piece of meat.
Since it was my birthday I got a free dessert. I picked the cream trio. A sampling of pistachio crème Brule, orange glazed flan, and butter scotch cream in a shooter glass. David's chocolate cake was uneventful and too dense. The chocolate gelato on the side was good however.
We left the restaurant stuffed. I think it was because I drank a whole bottle of iced tea.
