 From the concrete floor to the beautifully colored recycled wood paneling lining one wall, the minimalist black booth seats, and the sculpted “curtains” of plastic tubing that diffuse light from its skylights, Bar Agricole is a delight to behold and one of the few SoMa joints that actually lives up to its neighborhood's industrial reputation. As for the locally sourced, mostly organic food and drinks, the restaurant seems to lean on its deserved attention for first-rate mixed drinks---the strong but balanced bourbon old-fashioned that uses both aromatic and marasca cherry bitters, for example---but its short, seasonal dinner menu rewards those who stay to eat. Guests are allowed to play it safe, as with the creamy polenta filled with roasted Brussels sprouts and poached egg, or be more daring with dishes such as a fried rice ball stuffed with clam-like sea urchin and sorrel atop horseradish and spicy pepper cress. A half chicken arrives with bacon-crisp skin covering tender meat and, in an unexpected bit of eye candy, the foot still attached to the leg. Desserts are mercifully easy on the sugar: the brown butter cake with candied kumquats is nice and light.
