I had the excellent fortune if being invited to dinner this week at E&O Trading Company with a friend who works in the food business. So the entire meal -- cocktails, appetizers, dinner, wine, frenette, dessert, dessert wines, and anything else you cared to ask the nice folks to bring you -- was free of charge. It was amazing. Our hostess kept us in check -- we actually ate every morsel on every plate. And we didn't even go home stinking drunk, in spite of free access to highly drinkable fruity drinks. Just pleasantly, deliriously buzzed and full of excellent food.
I'd say E&O is as good as Betelnut without the wait or the attitude. It's bigger, quieter, and has mellow no-drama service. Plus, it's right next to the 1st floor entrance to the Sutter/Stockton garage, making it relaly easy to bum a ride home with your friends.
If you go there (314 Sutter St.) you must get:
- Indonesian corn fritters
- duck Imperial rolls
- Green papaya-ginger salad
- mango-glazed Thai spare ribs
- spicy sweet potato naan
Also good were the portobello mushroom satay, Ahi tartar, and soba noodle salad. Oo, and the salmon satay with pineapple soy was also excellent. ANd the flight od 3 dessert wines were truly wonderful -- an orange muscat, and the other two delightful reds. Dang, not a bad deal to be queen for a day.
