[Food & Wine] The Tadich Grill

Today I was introduced to the 156-year old gourmet tradition at The Tadich Grill in San Francisco. It was the first business in California at the time of the goldrush, several years before the state became part of the US. Quite a historic landmark.

Their speciality is seafood and they offer charbroiled, pan-seared, sauted and cooked fish. For starters there is the famous clam chowder either Boston style (white) or Coney Island style (red). They have an extensive menu and even offer some meat dishes. Their wine list is good.

The interior dates far back with the classic bar serving but also separate tables for 2-4 persons and the classic booths. The booths creates a fantastic privacy and are spacious enough for a maximum of 5 people. The waiters are all dressed in white and excellent - great service without being in your face!

I've a feeling that Tadich will become a family tradition from now on. Hopefully where we can go for Friday lunches to celebrate successful weeks.
