Dobson's Bar & Restaurant Description:
Named for its affable owner Paul Dobson, one of America's only bullfighters, Dobson's has remained a downtown power-lunch spot for more than 25 years. The eatery boasts an old-school feel, with traditional dark wood paneling and a massive bar and serves up savory California cuisine with light splashes of Italian, Spanish and Asian influence. Most well known is its signature mussel bisque en croûte, but the steamed Mediterranean black mussels bathed in yellow curry make for a tasty starter as well. The bistro chicken is impressive; Marsala-marinated Black Mission figs and thyme jus add the proper balance of sweet and savory to this dish. Sautéed sea bass is enlivened with roasted corn, sweet peppers, pancetta and saffron aïoli, while seared sea scallops nestle in an herb verde sauce with oven-dried tomatoes, spinach and caramelized onions. More standard dishes such as filet mignon, wild salmon and veal chops round out the menu. Bananas Foster with vanilla bean ice cream and a tawny port wrap up a satisfying meal. Dobson's presence sets the friendly tone and keeps his customers coming back.
