My wife has eaten at
Chez Panisse before, when wine touring with friends of ours. It is a French resteraunt with a California flair. It is nicely done up inside and is an experience in of itself. It opened in 1971 and offered a fixed menu, which changed each evening. In 1980, they opened the upsatairs cafe with an al a carte menu. They strive for freash and local when making thier menu. We dined there in the cafe for lunch.
To start I had the golden tomato bisque with creme fresh and anise hyssop.
My wife had the halibut tartar with marinated beets, chevril and citrus vinagrette.
Her main was Sonoma duck breast with pickled peaches, escarole, green beans and grilled potatoes.
My main was hand cut noodles with chanterelles, gremolata and pecorino cheese.
For dessert I had a bittersweet chocolate pave with caramel ice cream.
My wife had the creme fresh panna cotta with wood roasted black mission figs.
We would definitly eat here again...and again.
