"Tastes so good....it floats!" --Scottie
I read about Forbes Island in a local rag and it seemed cool. When my mom flew in, Karin and I decided to take her out for a little culinary delight -- SF style. Parking was a snap at the lot across from Pier 39. We walked up to the private pier and called in on the Forbes phone. In a few moments Captain Forbes himself piloted out to pick us up! We were given a tour of the island (actually a drivable, man-made floating island, with an upper fireplace lounge, private party room and lighthouse! Pretty cool!). We hung out at the bar and had some well-made cocktails while our table was being readied. The martinis came in handy getting your sea legs. The "island" is floating! So beware, you will feel it. I started to get a little nauseated (just a touch). Another martini fixed that.
We ordered a variety of dishes. Each was spectacular. Cooked in the French style, each had multiple layers of fantastic and delicious flavors. Meats and vegetables were each prepared with skill and the presetation was very good. I recommend the filet mignon. Karin's pork was also great. Mom's chicken was just fantastic.
We could not stop! Karin left to visit the ladies room (a simulated captains Quarters, complete with fire hearth, master bed and pet leopard. Desert was a berry cheesecake. It was so good, my mom and I scarfed it down before Karin got back. Sorry sweetie!!
