Well I was looking for a nice dinner place in the city where I can take my loved one, and I saw the reviews about Foreign Cinema. I thought I'll give it a try and I called in and made reservations. I was a bit skeptic about the place knowing that Mission area is not really the cleanest and nicest area of San Francisco, but once I got to it, I saw that I could have not been more wrong. The setup is quite nice with half of seating inside by the big fireplace and half outside on the patio were the movie is being projected. Almost every table had its own heater so it was quite comfortable seating out. The tables were clean and the candle light in the dim exterior added an extra romance in the air. The staff was really pleasing and accommodating. The food was excellent. We started out the dinner with warm olives and the cheese and vegetables appetizers, which were quite nice. After that we had a serving of their asparagus soup which was quite tasty and light, and for the main course we got the Halibut and Steak. The fish was cooked perfectly well and steak was great too. I liked the onion jam and the butter topping on the steak. Even after we were done with the dinner we just set there and talked and hold hands. Although it was almost closing time for the restaurant, no one rushed us to get up. I would really recommend this place to all my friends, and I would gladly come back for dinner.
