Chaya Brasserie

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.

filet mignon with sonoma foie gras, potato filled soba crepes, sauce perigeux 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.
