Oh my darling! Clementine, a french bistro on Clement street certainly is. I met my friend Sachiko for dinner here -- what a treat to the senses! The staff we interacted with all had a very French presence and accent and the decor, although muted felt like being back in Paris. I didn't snap photos of the food, but I took one of the menu. I had the cream of mushroom soup, which was very flavorful, just needed a pinch of salt from the salt dish on the table to take it to outstanding. Sachiko had the watermelon gazpacho, which also sounded intriguing. She and I both had the pork tenderloin with cabbage ragout. It was so beautifully...
FULL REVIEW
The first time I ate at Clementine was almost 6 years ago. It was pouring rain from a Pacific squall that overtook the city quickly on that afternoon, and due to the weather, and our desire to eat an early dinner, my girlfriend at the time and I were the only ones in the restaurant. On that afternoon, Clementine was a soft haven – a cozy yellow room, hidden from the street by the climbing vines of its façade – and it was also a wonderful meal. The food was delicious, the service attentive and warm, and the chef wonderfully funny as he wandered out of the kitchen to check on his only diners in the middle of the storm.
