Also SF,, The Slanted Door
We have been researching restaurants in SF and keep running across the
Slanted Door. Some on Chowhound say it is a tourist trap nowadays and no SF people go to it. Any opinions either way, and is the food good, which ultimately is most important. Thanks, jw |

Any s opinions either way, and is the food good, which ultimately s is most important. Thanks, jw I think it's pretty good and not outrageously expensive. I usually manage to eat there if I can get a reservation for me and my relatives on my fairly frequent trips to San Francisco. Did it get a Michelin star or was it just well rated as it is in Zagat?

And I liked the atmosphere, too. I will definitely return the next time I'm in San Francisco. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Thanks, jw It's good food for people who are afraid to go to a real Vietnamese restaurant. I understand that it is not authentic Vietnamese food but what is described as "fusion". The first V. food I ever ate was years ago in SF. We were staying in a BnB in, I believe, what was referred to as "the avenues". The lady that ran it told us of a nearby V. restaurant. We ate there and loved it. Now in Austin , as probably most everywhere, there are plenty of V. restaurants. If you have a "real" V. place in mind, I would like to know about it. Thank you. |

Any opinions either way, and is the food good, which ultimately is most important. Thanks, jw Having heard it was good, I dropt in there t'look at the menu. It was intolerably noisy and the prices were extremely high. The dishes I saw were very nice looking but that doesn't mean they tasted good. I've not been back and have no intention to eat there. We have a great many good Viet-Namese restaurants from the cheap to expensive. I would not, however, make a choice based on Chowhound or Zagat. I would seek advice at ba.food or Yelp.com. My suggestion is to go the the place that has a high rating and a price you deem reasonable. The last time I mentioned what's been called "the best Viet-Namese restaurant in the world" on UseNet, I got flamed for weeks because it's always crowded and we don't need no stinkin' tourists gettin' in our way. -- __________________________________________________ _________________ A San Franciscan who says: "You serve it, I'll eat it!" http://geocities.com/dancefest/ --- http://geocities.com/iconoc/ http://geocities.com/touringsfo/ --------- IClast at GMail com |

Where food is concerned, everyone has their own unique taste. You may love the food at the Slanted Edge, someone else may hate it. Both of you would be right. |
