The Rotunda

   

Last day in San Francisco. My friend highly recommended the Rotunda in Neiman Marcus. As the name illustrates, it has a circular ground plan and a dome top. The interior was grand and the big windows brighten up the restaurant. When you arrive, you are served with a complimentary hot chicken broth, popover, strawberry butter.

Just the broth and the popovers are worth. The broth was home made and you can taste the freshness of the chicken. It was low sodium so it's perfect to start off your meal. The popovers was hot and fluffy. Strawberry butter still has the buttery flavor adding the sweetness of the strawberries. Great combination.

I order the lobster club. There is applewood smoked bacon, avocado, arugula, lemon aiolo on toasted brioche. It also comes with taro chips. There is a decent amount of lobsters and the sandwich was packed with freshly cut vegetables. It is the first time i tried taro chips. They were harder than potato chip and taro taste was not too strong. 

My mom ordered a cheeseburger with white cheddar. She was craving for a burger and this was a great choice. It looks like a regular burger but the special aspect is the bun. They used a scallion bun that adds a lot of flavor. The fries were great too. 

The Rotunda closes at night so everyone is there for brunch. The interior design is gorgeous and relaxing. The food is great and the view is beautiful. It is perfect for a cocktail also before or after shopping around in Neiman Marcus.
