Back in the 80s I lived on Cedar street just a few blocks from Chez Panisse. I never ate there because the reservations were difficult and the costs were way out of my price range. I owned their cookbook and her Pizza and Calazone cookbook but the recipes at the time were out of reach. Luckily, my daughter and son-in-law took me here for my birthday. The Bay Area was the cutting edge for innovative cuisine world wide in the 80s and 90s and Alice Waters' Chez Panisse was the epicenter of innovation. A lot of the iconic restaurants from that era have closed like The Mandarin and Bay Wolf but Chez Panisse has stood the test of time. For that reason alone it is a "must eat here" just from a historical perspective. So here is how it scored from best to worst:Pizza with Sprouting Broccoli $25 - 5/5: the pizza was fabulous. I own a wood fired pizza oven and make a lot of pizza but my pizza can't compare.Apple and Huckleberry Galette $14 - 5/5 best galette everOlives and Anchovies $7 5/5: I eat a lot of olives and these were kind of addicting LOLTagliatelle with Wild Mushrooms $28 - 5/5 the fresh pasta was divine but a little under seasoned Beef Sirloin with Tapenade $40 - 4/5: it was good but not greatLittle Gem and Blood Orange Salad $17 - 4/5: I liked this saladRadicchio, Beets and Shrimp Salad: $19 - 3/5: the flavors didn't work for me, but if you LOVE radicchio and beets, you'll love this saladChicken and Polenta $29 - 2.5/5: it was OK but I couldn't discern any saffron and it was very under seasoned. Honestly, COSTCO sets the standard for roast chicken and all restaurants which serve roast chicken must exceed that standard. Sad but true.The service here is exceptional 5/5. Given the labor shortage and inflation, Chez Panisse has definitely prioritized service over value and quality. It was a mixed bag for sure, but overall it was a fabulous lunch. The venue is very comfortable and not overly pretentious. I would definitely return to eat the pizza, pasta, salad and desert. The entrees for me were pricey for the quality and serving size. Check it out.
