On Friday for date night, the Boyfriend and I ventured out to Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco to dine at McCormick & Kuleto’s Seafood Restaurant. Tip: If you go on a clear day at around sunset, the view of the Bay should be spectacular!
We started with drinks, a yummy Blueberry Lemon Drop for me and a Long Island for him.
McCormick & Kuleto’s Seafood Restaurant offers an extensive selection of seafood with your standard meat options for all you steak lovers out there. But for our entrees, we both opted for seafood at the recommendation of our server.
Chilean Sea Bass with potato risotto, rock shrimp salsa and a green garlic puree. The flavors were good on this dish, but don’t be fooled. The potato risotto was not risotto at all, but rather a dice of potatoes that perhaps was supposed to mimick a “risotto”? Nonetheless, I liked the shrimp salsa with fresh mango to lighten things up.
Sacramento Delta Sturgeon with English and snap peas, gnocchi and brown butter sauce was the first time I had ever eaten sturgeon. If you like a firmer white fish, you might like sturgeon. I, for one, do not. I felt like I had to saw through my fish, as if I were eating chicken.
However, I did enjoy the peas – a lot. They were sweet and the snap version were super crunchy and flavorful, so yummy!
To finish off dinner, we ended our meal with a blonde brownie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drenched in a blueberry sauce. We could have probably done better, dessert-wise, had we walked across the way and shared a Ghirardelli sundae, but this suited us just fine.
Overall, dinner at McCormick’s isn’t very much more than a tourist spot with a nice view if you happen to be there on a nice day.
