Campton Place (San Francisco, CA)

Unfortunately there was not enough time during this trip to have dinner at Campton place. However, I did manage to stop by for a quick breakfast while Mom and Dad did some shopping in Union Square. Campton Place has been receiving a lot of press lately due to the rising status of Daniel Humm with the California culinary scene.

Located in the Campton Hotel northeast of Union Square, the restaurant consists of one small rectangular dining room. The room is luxurious, elegant, and romantic. My server was excellent throughout my brief meal. After agonizing over the menu, I settled on a cup of coffee and the banana pancakes with macadamia nut butter and honey ginger bananas. The pancakes were out of this world. They were extremely light, moist, and had a uniformly bold banana flavor. The macadamia nut butter was rich and creamy. This is one of the best renditions of this type of dish that I have ever had.

I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to fully explorer Campton place during dinner with one of their tasting menus.
