La Folie (San Francisco, CA)

Truffle popcorn (from the La Folie-owned bar next door), foie gras mousse amuse bouche, raw egg yolk with pureed leek in an egg shell amuse bouche, seared foie gras with quince consomme (which quite frankly was a little on the sweet side), and butter poached lobster over a mushroom risotto with black truffle shavings. Michelin starred and fabulous! Everything tasted like heaven. Portions are a bit smaller and pricer than a few years ago when we first went (i.e. truffle shavings used to be $15 and they're now $30), but it's all still filling and worth the overall price tag.

A word of warning to all ye to dare: Go for the three course. Friends have also reported back that four courses of food is a LOT of food.
