Was PatriciaM at Aliment a mag?
The restaurant was excellent from food to service. We went on a Saturday for the weekend brunch; I ordered the shakshouka and my friend ordered the chilaquile. The poached eggs in the shakshouka were perfect and the tomato sauce was nice and spicy. The chilaquile said the short rib was excellent. Presentation was very appetizing. We were first disappointed that the weekend brunch didn’t offer dessert but our server m... View all feedback.
What AllisonR dislikes about Aliment:
The bar was backed up so it took a long time to get drinks. Ordered burger (good) and the risotto, which was a bowl of curry with a scoop of rice and about 2 inches worth of thin sliced carrots, so not much there for $25. Started with the mussels in a thick tomato suace, those were good. Drinks good. Good spot before show at the Masonic. View all feedback.
A small group of us popped in for dinner before seeing a show at The Curran Theatre, which is just 3 blocks away. The restaurant is small and very charming. The food is truly superb. I ordered a grilled Porkchop over mashed yams and it was out of this world. This restaurant is especially good if you have dietary restrictions. My wife has very complex restrictions and most of their menu is either already vegan/gluten-free or they can easily accommodate changes. We're looking forward to another visit.
We only went for dessert and a drink but Yummy bread pudding and excellent service. Nice wine and cocktail list. Michelin Guide Recommended. Wish I could try those scallops but they weren't on current menu. From the bar, you watch the chefs cook. Upstairs dining area a bit more private. Would be a great spot for a date!
My fried chicken was extremely overcooked and they evidently don't take allergies seriously. I told the server about my allergy and he checked with the kitchen to make sure my dish didn't include it, only he only asked about one item in the dish, and in the appetizer I had to ask him specifically about one item that made its way all the way onto my plate, which yes indeed, did include the ingredient. I don't know what else it was in but afterward I felt like throwing up on the way home and now I'm sitting at home right with my face, mouth, and throat burning and itching, and pain in all my extremities. I know allergies are annoying to deal with in food service but discounting them is a dick move, and assuming they aren't real just because someone doesn't go into anaphylaxis on the spot doesn't mean they aren't allergic. What if I were more allergic than this? I hope that place almost kills someone but doesn't quite. I gave a really good tip too. I wish I could go back in time and take it back.
I ordered the mushroom fettuccine pasta with chicken. The chicken in the pasta was absolutely disgusting, it was not seasoned and it was overcooked. The pasta itself was really good, the sauce was delicious. That chicken was just abominable though. I also ordered an espresso martini and it was really good. The waitstaff was attentive. It was really dark in the restaurant, it wasn't horrible but the price didn't match the quality of the food.
Great place to stop by around union square! The spices they used for the fried chicken were so good but the monkeubread was easily my favorite! My fiancee really liked the lenthil soup esp in these sf summers. The chacuterie board was pretty good overall as well Great staff with wonderful recommendations and some cool aesthetics!
