Last night we hit a place in downtown San Francisco called Cafe Claude and had the best meal we’ve had since moving to the bay area 5 months ago. It’s a small restaurant tucked away down an alley that you probably wouldn’t notice if you didn’t know it was there.
We were attracted to the place because they were had live jazz, but the music ended up being pretty forgettable background fare. The food was universally excellent though. Service was a little snooty and french, but it wasn’t obnoxious.
I had a flat iron steak which was incredible, and it’s hard to impress me with a steak. It was perfectly medium-rare with a delicious sweet pepper sauce. My wife had a pork filet that was in an almost dessert-sweet sauce with hints of caramel. Everyone at the table commented on how delicious the sauces were on their various dishes. The chocolate mousse for dessert was great, and didn’t just feel like pudding the way a lot of mousse does. Entrees were about $30, and although portions weren’t huge the quality was great. We’ve definitely spent a lot more for much worse food so this place is definitely recommended.
