Wrestling Match

After cocktails with four of our favorite people in the world at the wonderful Top of the Mark (terrific cocktail lounge with a long San Francisco history and a 360 degree view of the city), my birthday celebration continued at Rue Lepic, a French-inspired restaurant that the concierge recommended, just downhill from the Mark Hopkins.

I ordered rack of lamb, which came fanned on this intriguingly shaped triangular plate with perfectly cooked carrots, greenie beanies and rice. I suspect the pan reduction was made with port wine, as it was almost sweet. Nice presentation, and the lamb was cooked perfectly and boned, but with the rib bones presented on the plate for those who wished to wrestle. I pinned 'em.
