Ok.. so i've been consistenty underwhelmed with SF cuisine until now.  WOW! or should i say Chapeau! THIS PLACE IS EXCELLENT.  Get the menu 2 prix fixe because it's definitely worth your money.  I had the prime rib and i've never had it like this before... SOOOO GOOOOOOOOD!  

Just got back from here and I'm having major garlic burps... BLLLLLLLEEEEECCCHHHH.. mmmmmm :)

The executive chef here is also soo friendly and so nice... he also looks a little like Gerard depardeau

Pretty yummy for norcal mexican!

Though, if i stumbled upon this place down south, i'd be mad about the rice and beans in a burrito.  

If i had to compare it with something, it's like a yummier chipotle.

TASTY and 5 stars for our awesome server.  One negative star for cold fries and one negative star for the lack of seasoning on the burger.  Get the red wine and shallot reduction or the chipotle aioli!!!! :)

Hit or miss... but when it's a hit, it's a HIT!

The Decent:
Cheese plate:  You can probably get all the cheeses in the cheese factory next door, but the pairings are done very well.  I really liked the Humbolt fog and sliced apple together and the St. Andre is always good (but they sell this stuff everywhere).  

The Bad:
The first time I came here I had a nasty-ass sandwich with salty bacon which was dissappointing.  
The Omlette was forgettable and the arugala salad was overdrenched
The waitress here was a huge bitch... i had a kind waiter the second time :)

The OH SO GOOD:
Turnip soup:  this was a special.  OMG...
Chickpea cake panisse:  hummuhnuh hummuhnuh... let me speechless and crying with joy

Dottie's Customers are always faced with the golden question:  Is the wait worth it?  I am going to say... Yes! Definitely!!!  

I had the whiskey fennel sausage scramble which was pretty yummy but I really really DREAM about the CORNBREAD!!!!! My cousin had the blackbean cakes which I will definitely get next time.  Also, the french toast looked so yummy... i'm pretty sure the lady next to me had an orgasm eating it... therefore...I MUST TRY!

one point knocked off for the shitty coffee

Debate topic: Dottie's or Mama's.... I say Mama's

ok... awesome bar or not, the food and service here sucks.  The mac and cheese is like plain pasta with no flavoring and it swims in a hot pool of bread crumbs...

No No No
