More information on Susanna Foo's

Worldly Susanna Foo has been touted in Gourmet, Bon Appétit, and Esquire for her skill in blending Asian cuisine and French techniques: Her elegant, eponymous bistro reflects her talents. The two dining rooms of this Restaurant Row restaurant are beautifully dressed in stone, glass, and silks, plus a collection of Chinese art and textiles.The cuisine is the main thing, but be forewarned: If you're the type that finds exquisite but small portions at high prices off-putting, you may find these dishes too rarefied. Dim sum features such delicacies as curried chicken ravioli with grilled eggplant. Noodle dishes, salads, and main courses combine East and West: water chestnuts and radicchio, savory quail with fresh litchi nuts, smoked duck and endive, grilled chicken with Thai lemon-grass sauce, and spicy shrimp and pear curry. The wine list, designed to complement these dishes, specializes in French and California white wines. Desserts such as ginger crème with strawberries and hazelnut meringue are light and delicate. The service is rather formal. Lunchtime is fixed-price menu only, in two or three courses. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
