Dining room at bacar, San Francisco, CASeasonal flavors here are bold and aggressively structured and portions are generous. It's big California food built for big, beautiful wines, of which bacar is flush---30 of its international bottles are available by flights or small pours. The restaurant’s wood-burning oven is employed to great effect: roasted bone marrow is garnished with parsley salad and sultana-caper relish on oil-brushed, grilled bread. Roast organic chicken comes nearly whole with a rich, heart-shaped swath of walnut-bread sauce and pile of Blue Lake beans. A Blossom Bluff nectarine and paper-thin prosciutto salad is buttressed with strong Belgian endive and Spanish almonds. Desserts may include Meyer lemon pudding cake with sugar plum pistachios and mascarpone sherbet.
