location: 2154 mission street (between 21st & 22nd), the missioni was treated to dinner at foreign cinema by my amazing roommate d and joined by our friend m. the three of us started our night next door at laszlo while we waited for our table at foreign cinema. we made a reservation weeks in advance which i think is pretty necessary at this restaurant. even on a rainy night the restaurant was packed.
at laslzo we were able to order appetizers from foreign cinema, as the restaurants are conjoined. we started with cocktails and louisiana jumbo prawns ($15 for 6). they were jumbo and they were amazing. they came with a really great aioli sauce that i liked so much i dipped my bread in it as well.
once we moved over to foreign cinema we were seated outside, although it was raining, it was covered and the heat lamps were on. we had really great seats to see the film playing that night. it was hard to pay attention with all of the commotion and they fact that it was a foreign anime film, nevertheless, i love the idea of having films playing on the back wall. the outside is decorated with old movie theater speaker boxes which add the perfect touch.
we shared the sauteed calamari which was a little too chewy for my liking, i didn't each much of it, but i did like it. for my entrée i had the blackened chicken with couscous and veggies ($26), it was absolutely delicious. almost a half chicken, blackened to perfection. for dessert, which i rarely order, i had the affogato ($6). it was the perfect ending to a great meal.
the menu at foreign cinema changes daily and you can check the movie that is currently playing on their website.
tastiness: yay!
food vs. price: yay!
service: yay!
