Lunch at the Slanted Door

One of the bosses at work took me to lunch at the Slanted Door at the Ferry Building. I’ve been wanting to go there for a while, but just hadn’t made it there.
We didn’t have reservations, but were fortunate enough to get a couple of seats at the bar fairly quickly. My one complaint, they don’t have diet coke. What, no diet coke?! I managed to find a suitable substitute and enjoyed a glass of zinfandel instead, it was a 2008 Dashe, "l'enfant terrible", Mcfadden Farms, Potter Valley. (Hey if the boss is having a glass, its only good manners to do the same.) The wine was a slightly lighter style zin, with only a hint of spice and a touch of mineral in the nose with some bright red fruit on the front palate.
For our meal, we shared the Niman Ranch Shaking Beef, Grilled Range Brothers' Berkshire Pork Chop and Rice Noodle Stir-fry with chicken, shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, bean sprouts and egg. The pork chop was outstanding, it was served with crispy potatoes and the sauce was excellent. I was sorely tempted to gnaw on the bone. The shaking beef had an excellent flavor, but was not quite as tender as I would expect from filet mignon. The stir fried noodles we only okay. The noodles were fine, the flavor was mild which complemented our flavorful meat dishes, however there was very little broccoli or shiitake mushrooms in there. The zin went very nicely with the food selections, however a slightly bolder red might have faired better.
The service was quite satisfactory, everyone was attentive to our needs, our empty plates and glasses.

I would definitely return and would love to try other menu items, I would also love to return for the pork chops alone.
