Last dinner in SF before my trip to Asia was at Chaya Brasserie, a fusion Japanese/Western place originally from So Cal. They have a full sushi bar which is pretty good.
crispy dungeness crab cake, chiffonade salad, red bell pepper coulis & chili olive oil
filet mignon with sonoma foie gras, potato filled soba crepes, sauce perigeux
Don't have the exact prices, but I remember the crab cake was in the mid-high teens and the steak was in the mid 30s. This place is expensive at dinnertime. Food was all good though... Crab cake wasn't quite as good as the one I had at Houston's a while ago, but still tasty in its own right. Less crab in it, but a nice crunch. The steak was good. Piece of foie gras was interesting... a little crispy on the outside. The potato soba thing was really good. Interesting twist on the potato side dish required for all steaks I guess. This place is a much better deal during lunch time.
