| - Sausalido. Hmm... I feel torn about you!
If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would have. The service is good, and the owner (I believe his name is Nick) flits about the restaurant, helping to seat people, serve food, and just generally chat with customers and see how their meals are going. I love that! But, of course, this is a restaurant, so on to the food...
I've had dishes here that are great, and I've had dishes that leave me thinking I should have just stayed home and cooked.
The good? Well, the bread they give you at the beginning with their homemade dipping sauce is awesome. I just had to pause while writing this, because I wasn't sure what to call the 'sauce'. It's actually an interesting concoction that consists of a homemade hummus that tastes like a combo of chickpeas and peppers, and it's drizzled with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and some chopped tomatoes. Regardless, it's delicious, and the bread is always soft and fresh. Also noteworthy: the mussels in coconut curry sauce. You will be asking for more bread to sop up that sauce! The mussels are perfectly tender, and the sauce is plentiful and oh-so-flavorful. The onion rings, as mentioned in other reviews, are pretty great too.
The "eh"? I haven't had a main dish here that has resulted in another tally on my Clean Plate Club card. I was here for NYE when they had a limited menu (like many restaurants) and I had the steak. It was okay. Nothing to write home about. Last time I was here, I had the porkchop and my boyfriend had the fish. My porkchop did have a nice herbed butter on top that definitely was the star of the dish. Despite the fact that the porkchop was perfectly cooked, if that herbed butter hadn't been spread all over its surface, it would have been Bland City. The chop was on a bed of sweet potato hash, but I really didn't find it to be too complementary to the pork and butter.
My boyfriend's fish was on a bed of quinoa that he thought was decent, but he, like myself, wound up leaving quite a bit on his plate, despite being super hungry upon arrival. Oh, and he went with the wedding soup (they call it something fancier-sounding on the menu) instead of a salad, but it was pretty bland, and there was a lot of fresh spinach leaves in it that hadn't really cooked down as much as they should have, which was kinda... weird.
All in all, I'd go back (especially because I live like 2 minutes away), but I'll just stick with sharing a few apps instead of ordering main dishes next time!
