Reviews for Trou Normand in San Francisco, CA
TERRIBLE!! Visited with a party of 15 and they sat us in the patio, where it was freezing and wet. Heating was not sufficient,... and there were cracks in the covering so minimal protection from wind and rain. Staff was very unapologetic about the terribleset up and cold, rude service to top it all off. Had a pre-ordered menu which was average at best. Read more
This rating and review is specifically for the quality of the food. The service here is outstanding and we were well attended... to. It's such a shame that the food doesn't reflect the service. I wanted to like this place so much. It was recommended by7x7 for their charcuterie plate, which, when we arrived looked very sparse, for the cost on the menu. My girlfriend and Idecided to opt for dinner instead because some of the items listed sounded inviting and I am a big mushroom fan. We startedthe night with cocktails which we both enjoyed although I felt my scotch cocktail completely masked the flavor of the scotch. We both shared a plate of Potatoes with Aioli and the mixed pickles. The potatoes were very well cooked, the Aioli was oversalted. The mixed pickles were inconsistent in flavor and the cucumbers were barely brined. Next, my girlfriend had theburger, which she received almost well done when she ordered it medium... It was also very poorly plated and just seemed like anafterthought. It was a very mediocre burger. I had the lamb belly with the black trumpets. The lamb belly was overcooked andthe entire plate was once again over salted. For almost $200 I would have expected a better experience, but perhaps we came ona wrong day at the wrong time. I suspect one does not come to Trou Normand for food, but rather to have a couple of cocktailsand a small bite to eat. If you were an overpaid tech engineer, I can imagine that it's not much of a problem to drop $50 on asparse charcuterie plate... It just doesn't seem like the value is there for what we received. I could have gone to a tastingmenu at a Michelin star restaurant for the money I paid. Very disappointed and unlikely I will return. Read more
