It's been over a year since I last posted. Not because I've been sitting idle and not sampling the most awesome food in San Francisco. But because I got lazy writing about it... it's alright, it happens to us all.
I've been to so may great San Francisco restaurants in the past year - Schmidt's, Contigo, Gracia Madres, Another Monkey... the list is pretty long. I don't even remember what I had that was so good at these places, guess I'll just have to go back :)
So, this post is about Yield Wine Bar - while it's still fresh in my mind... three lovely ladies and a dog went to Yield one Wednesday evening. If you have a dog this is the place for you - they actually have dog treats and strict dog petting policy. So cute!! The people here are super-friendly and the vibe is very chilled out and comfortable. It's is kind of small though, but considering it's in the middle of nowhere in the Dogpatch of all places, it's probably not going to get super-crowded on a weekday.
For a wine bar the food is exceptionally good. You get small plates at Yield, and my only complain is that they are just that - small. The food is so delicious, but the portions kind of tease you saying "you can have two bites of this but not more". We had the sweet potato gnochhi, aparagus and pickled leek salad, cauliflower pakoras, spinach and artichoke dip and the Bermuda Triangle which is a soft goat cheese. If that sounds like a lot of food for 3 people, it's not! I think we could have easily eaten a few more samples. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a sucker for gnocchi, so it's no surprise that it was my favorite item in the menu.
The only dessert they had was apple pie... not the most enticing, so we skipped dessert. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice, quiet evening - it's good for a casual date and to just hang out with friends. And of course, if you have a dog it's the place to go!
