Forein Cinema, San Francisco, CA

We went again for brunch and the place was crowded at 2pm.

This time was not so impressed by brunch. The menu looked good, but nothing that extraordinary. Just American classic foods dressed up.

David had the french toast. The bread was really yellow and it was a cake like consistency.

I had a duck breast salad. It was tasty but soaked with dressing.

Kabul Afghan Cuisine

This is a nice middle of the road restaurant. Not too fancy but better than going to some chain restaurant. The only this is that if there are people waiting by the door they don't see you and you have to get the attention of someone yourself in order to be seated. Once you're seated service is alright.

We had the leek appetizer. It was good, but a little oily. The lamb and spinach dish was good. The lamb was really tender. The kabob combo with chicken and lamb was really yummy. The chicken wasn't dried out at all, and it was really flavorful. The lamb was not over cooked.





My friend had the vegetarian platter. The pumpkin was really great as well as the spinach. But the cauliflower was sweet which was kind of odd. I think next time I go back I'm just ordering the pumpkin and kabob because that was the exceptional dishes.




We had the pudding for dessert. It comes in a bowl, not a cup. I like the almonds in it which gives it a texture.

Naglee Park Garage - Santa Clara, CA

Very good menu that has so much potential. BUT. . .

Not enough salt. I had to salt every other bite. Service is not over the top friendly.

We went for Brunch and had Egg Naglee and some other Egg casserole type of dish. Not your ordinary dishes so it sounded really good. The Eggs Naglee was two poached eggs on a potato-meat hash with hollandase sauce. The other dish was rotisserie chicken and potatoes baked in eggs and cheese. The crust of the casserole is crispy and cheesy.
