The Richmond is a cute spot on Balboa and 7th in the Richmond District of San Francisco. Apparently it's been open for 6 years, but only recently has climbed to the top of open table best in SF lists. I thought I'd try it out because it's perhaps the most reasonably priced "upscale" restaurant I've come across in a while.
I knew I had chosen well when the meal started off with 3 types of butter to top our warm, crusty baguette. I moved onto a creamy and delicious pumpkin soup, while my friend could not resist the trio of hotdogs. Chili dog, corn dog, and bacon-wrapped dog - come on! I tasted the chili dog and it was awesome. Then we ordered the salmon and bacon-wrapped steak. We were clearly trying to balance out our bacon-guilt by ordering a few healthier options as well. The Salmon was cooked perfectly, pink on the inside, moist, well seasoned. The steak was decent, maybe even great for meat lovers, but I can't judge because I don't like red meat in general. I'd probably opt for another item if I go back.
The overall meal was great, but edged on the salty side. It's affordable and has a great wine list. The best part is that I went two weeks ago and see that the online menu has already changed. A sure sign of a good chef!
