"And Chef Alex Hong has gone from cooking subtle and delicate prix-fixe plates to bold and inspired, craveable modern dishes. It is a most welcome thing to see the glassed-in space at the northeast corner of the Ferry Building come back to life, lit in warm tones, and filled up with eager diners once more. The Slanted Door hadn't served a dish of Shaking Beef in the space since March 2020, leaving a large and prominently located restaurant space dark for half a decade."
"A dish of barbecue oysters ($7.50 ea) come drenched in vadouvan butter (France's answer to curry), and garnished with crispy rice. Delicious Dungeness crab salad ($28) is served simply on brioche toasts with dill. And a starter of white bean hummus is served with housemade seaweed lavash ($14), and garnished with dandelion pesto and trout roe. Easily the big hit of the menu to date seems to be the scallion fry bread"
Arquet opened in the former Slanted Door space at the Ferry Building, reviving a prominent glassed-in corner with warm lighting and eager diners. Chef Alex Hong shifted from subtle prix-fixe plates to bold, craveable a la carte dishes drawing from the farmers' market and global cuisines. Menu highlights include barbecue oysters with vadouvan butter and crispy rice, Dungeness crab salad on brioche with dill, and white bean hummus with housemade seaweed lavash, dandelion pesto, and trout roe. A standout is scallion fry bread served with buffalo-milk ricotta, Oakland-hive honey, and salsa matcha. The kitchen emphasizes wood-grill cooking and delivers a notable Hot Honey pasture-raised chicken.
