Lincoln room- SD

A surprising renovation project has transformed what use to be confidential into a new place called the Lincoln Room.

Confidential was a fantastic place, modern interior was some of the best tasty bites.. The steak lollipops with gorgonzola cheese and port reduction were to die for, or the Vietnamese scallops with Ginger jasmine rice, the stuffed dates, or the deconstructed pizza with roasted garlic bulbs that would make your date run far far away...and let's not forget the orchid martini's and the retro spy-ware of the staff.. Well those days are gone...

The Lincoln Room is a bit of a conundrum. With the same owners and same chef, remnants of confidential's food is on the menu, but a twist in that there are a lot more comfort foods.. Burgers, mac n'cheese, some double fried options as well.




The interior is decorated like a wood log cabin.. Log panelling everywhere, hung lanterns and even a penny covered bar top.. It's sort if like a modernized dice bar with new upholstery gone wrong. That homey dive appeal with the cabin look was a bit of an energy drainer..

Across the street there was Katsu sushi. Ok if you are starving but a 3 star in terms of sushi options and quality. It reminded me of those airport sushi places one gets stuck at on international flights. Actually, the sushi spot in SFO was better.

Sake is half off during happy hr, cold or hot:



The jalepeño roll had a dollop of spicy mayo sauce, tuna sliced and Shrimp:



Sushi quality was not something to rave about, but kept the hunger beasts a bay for the duration of the performance..
