| - I made reservations at Nobhill because it looked like a nice place to have dinner in the $$$ range and had an approachable American menu that could please all parties involved in this dinner.
First off, the restaurant is beautiful. Dark woods, dim lighting, and lots of mirrors to open the room up.
The wait staff contrasts the look with off-white shirts and vests.
My date and I were immediately sat for our 7:30pm reservation. We were sat and instantly greeted at the table by last name.
I ordered a bottle of Stag's Leap Petite Syrah and the charcutierie plate which consisted of salami, prosciutto, speck, pate, gherkins, mustard and buttery toasted brioche. The bread basket had black pepper biscuits, grilled foccacia and toasted ciabatta bread. They too went well with the charcutierie plate.
For entrees my lady had the prime rib, with a side of whipped horseradish potatoes. I had the Kurobuta pork chop with toasted farro, and braised Swiss chard with BACON!
The prime rib was cooked to perfection. It was accompanied with whipped horseradish creme fraiche. It was a simple dish, cooked to perfection. My pork chop was awesome. Moist, well seasoned and crisp on out side.
For dessert I took one for the team and ordered the chocolate mousse cake (Anyone who knows me, knows I HATE chocolate with a passion). The cake was served with Strawberry sorbet and adorned with strawberries, micro arugula and balsamic syrup. An awesome chocolate dessert.
This was a lovely dining experience. Best I've been apart of in a while.
