Dinner at McCormick & Kuleto's SF

We celebrated our wedding anniversary in San Francisco ahead of the actual date. The Clairvoyant suggested dinner at McCormick & Kuleto's Seafood Restaurant located at Ghirardelli Square, which was a short walk from our hotel. She had dined here before with colleagues during a previous trip to San Francisco. They had an excellent dinner and so it was a must that we tried the restaurant during the last night of our vacation.

As we browsed the menu, we were served with sour dough French bread with butter on the side. 

Sour dough bread with butter on the side - the bread probably is sourced from the Boudin Bakery, which is famous for the sour dough bread used for the delicious clam chowders at the pier.

The restaurant has a terrific dinner menu and ingredients for their offerings are sourced mainly from farms and ports from all over the United States. For starters, we had the Smoked Beef Carpaccio. Then we proceeded with our main meals with the Clairvoyant choosing the Alderwood House Smoked Atlantic Salmon. I opted for the Hawaiian Tombo Tuna. Both were highly recommended by our hostess as part of their specialties and popular with their clients.

The photos won't be able to justify the very tasteful dinner that we had at McCormick & Kuleto's. These were quick ones taken with our BlackBerry phones. Be assured though that their food is great and so is the service. Our hostess and the other staff were very attentive and courteous. We would definitely return to this restaurant should we be in San Francisco sometime in the future.

We decided to pass on the dessert, opting instead to return to our hotel room where we had some fruits and chocolate from our trip to Los Angeles.
