Chapeau!

Chapeau!
1408 Clement St
(between 15th Ave & 16th Ave)
San Francisco, CA 94118

M & I have been to Chapeau! once before and I decided it would be a nice place to take Dee out for her bday. We got there at 7:15pm and it quickly filled up once we settled in... surprising for a Wednesday night. They're not open on Tuesdays. Each of us got the three course menu for $38. Not a bad deal. I think they might have an early special that is even cheaper but you'd probably have to get there at or before 6pm.


complimentary asparagus soup


chèvre w/ asparagus


veal sweetbread - really rich and delicious


duck salad - M said not very memorable, adequate


black cod


duck w/ polenta and roasted pears (this was mine and it was delicious!!)


Filet


Basil Napoleon - this was ok. refreshing but different having basil w/ fruit.


apple tart - not good. no flavor. bland


blueberry puff pastry - this was the best of the three

i love chapeau! did the owner run out to give you a kiss and handshake after the meal? my friend's mom once tried to escape his too friendly goodbye but didn't succeed
