We visited Blush! wine bar last weekend. Cute space, cozy atmosphere – all that you’d expect from a homey wine bar in the middle of the Castro. A place for all the highfalutin flags to show off their abilities to order in French and their developed palettes.
The only problem? The menu. Perhaps I’m too young to fully appreciate foreign cuisine but when I order something called “kobe beef tartare” I expect y’know… meat. What we got instead could easily be mistaken for cat food wrapped in a cucumber. Now Wikipedia tells me that a tartare “is a preparation of finely chopped raw meat or fish optionally with seasonings and sauces” but I wish the menu would have told me that before hand. The other thing we got was the ravioli’s which were disappointing. They tasted good and all, after they stopped boiling so I could actually put them in my mouth without burning anything, but they weren’t filling to say the least.
Am I expecting too much? Maybe. Yet for $12-$14 I’m surprised these people can look me in the eye when they serve it.
