THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Lambert's Restaurant Review:
Before Lou Lambert came to rest in this tiny SOCO space, he flew with culinary eagles at restaurants like Hawthorne Lane in San Francisco and coasted with the fast food crew at Liberty Pies. A Texas native and a born chef, hes as good at browning pork chops as he is at searing ahi. Both of these skills come into play on Lamberts menu, which can best be described as Tex-French. Some locals deem it unusual, but after the fusion confusion weve encountered elsewhere in the country, we think its pretty down-to-earth. Maybe even a little too earthy---if youre not a fan of grilled meats and rich sauces, the pickings can be slim. Stick with the pan-seared striped bass or another fish dish. That way youll have room for dessert (remember, you dont want to miss Lamberts pie).
