Tsar Nicoulai Caviar Café: San Francisco (Ferry Building)

RESTAURANT REVIEW:
If you read my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide piece, you know I adore this place. This sustainable California caviar company is really giving the Russians a run for their money–especially with their award-winning California Estate Osetra ($78 per ounce). When I was a culinary student, I could obviously not afford the delectable premium stuff, but would treat myself to a tin of their truffled whitefish caviar ($18 for 2 ounces), a bag of their blinis and other accoutrements for dinner once a week. I just love the stuff.

Beautiful flowers to look at while I nibbled on my bread
I was trying to pace myself for my Ferry Building eating extravaganza (or trust me, I would have gotten a tasting) so I just ordered the truffled scrambled egg with Osetra caviar–can I just say, “OH MY GOD?!” It was heaven on a plate.
