It’s hard to pass up a good filet mignon and RNM serves up a great one. The size of the steak is quite hearty. It’s a very nice plating, with an architectural stacking of onions and toast, steak, and the Upland cress, which look ready to launch off the steak platform at any moment. The sweet gorgonzola and wine demi-glace are perfectly balanced. Softness, sweetness, chewiness, crunch…it’s really a superior steak. Described on the menu as: Sautéed filet mignon on toasted pain levain with dolce gorgonzola, cippolini onions, cabernet demi glace and upland cress.
The Damage: $26

Here’s what I recommend as a starter for your steak at RNM Restaurant, San Francisco. Described on the menu as Grilled hearts of romaine with Fuji apples; Saint Agur cheese; toasted hazelnuts and a champagne vinaigrette.
This is one of my favorite salads in San Francisco: a very simple and delicious first plate. Like the filet mignon, it has a salty, sweet, crunchy glide…a great combination of flavor in perfect harmony.

Heather gave me your new blog. Loved it! Will try the RNM filet mignon next time in SF.
Couldn’t agree more that the lamb sandwich w/mustard is the way to go at Philippe’s.
See ya’ soon.
I’ve never been disappointed at RNM. It seems oddly out of place, like it should be somewhere South of Market but ended up in the lower Haight instead. But the prices are reasonable and the food is always a delight.
