Date night last night at Marlowe in San Francisco. I like the environment, like a combo of industrial and old wood, and the music (a sucker for the Dirty Dancing soundtrack). “Snacks” may have been the best part: the famous brussels sprout chips were crispy, tasty, a little oily… The peaches with burrata and “smoke” with arugula were rich sweet and just that little bit peppery… Delicious. I could have eaten more burrata but it is fair to say it was snack sized. The roasted bone marrow was nicely presented and tasty but nothing particularly special…our main dish lamb was well-seasoned and cooked, the side of the squash gratin beautifully flavorful. Tcho chocolate pot de creme disappeared quickly. A good date night. I would go again (but after I explore a number of the other restaurants also on my list to try – not an instant repeat).
