quality was really good
but i was not very impressed / amused

appetizer #2
foie gras
biscuit
maple sausage gravy
OH
MY
GOD
if i ever come back here
it will be for this

the 109 for two
rib eye in foie gras sauce
that first bite was pretty amazing
but i would try something else next time
this place's focus is on meat-centric cooking
so it WAS really good
but i prefer that grilled flavor
next time will also try for dessert
their bacon chocolate crunch bar

tofu ya on sawtelle
came here for lunch w/ co-workers
ordered bulgogi which was meh

my co-workers ordered the lunch box special
i usually really dislike teriyaki chicken / ca rolls
but this was not bad
and the skewers were pretty good

kincaid's on redondo pier
my friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich
was kind of huge!!

we shared some oysters
pretty good, not bad
but not cold enough
i like my half shell oysters ICE cold

mac n' cheese with bacon
HANDS DOWN best restuarant macaroni and cheese ever!
gobs of melted cheese throughout
and the bacon wasn't all chunky or in the way
so good

maple chicken salad
w/ pear, pecans, blue cheese, maple vinaigrette
ICK DO NOT WANT!
the pears were perfect and the chicken was really good
but the salad was way overdressed
w/ THE most overpowering syrupy mess
ugh no do not order this

burnt cream
previously the only thing that kept me coming back to kincaid's
their creme brulee is my favorite
