I’ve written of the Mission’s Commonwealth many times since opening, including it in my best openings of the year in the Guardian and The Perfect Spot. I wrote about Chef Jason Fox’s uni dish last week and am ever dreaming about those brilliant foie gras bon bons. Here’s photo highlights of my recent return to a restaurant that just keeps getting better and better…

“The Gozer” ($11) – liquid nitrogen aperitif of Floc de Gascogne, pomegranate, Kaffir lime, sake

Salad ($12) of Asian pear, chicories, pomegranate, cured ham, Idiazabal cheese

Foie Gras Bon Bons are sheer genius… and only on the tasting menu

Duck breast ($16) w/ young turnips, onions, blood orange, cauliflower mousse, cocoa nib

Even-better-than-it-looks lemon sponge cake ($8) w/ thyme ice cream & candied honey

Sea urchin (uni – $15) w/ sweet potato tempura, chrysanthemum leaf, shiso, yuzu kosho

Ocean trout crudo ($14) w/ fennel, hibiscus, dill, horseradish, seaweed
