Prospect is a casual dining restaurant that first opened in the summer of 2010. It is located on the corner of Folsom and Spear Street approximately one block from the waterfront. I opted to try this sleek looking neighborhood restaurant because it won San Francisco Magazine’s 2013 Best Destination Burger.
The bar menu is comprised mostly of easy bites like cheese plate, hot wings and fried shishito peppers. The full menu includes salads, seafood and meats ranging in price from $14-$45 with most items ranging from $21-$32.
I started my meal with the bar menu’s, spicy ceviche ($10). Prospect’s ceviche includes chunks fresh fish, avocado and tomato as well as a bit of heat from peppers that nicely mingle with the citrus and fresh corn tortilla chips. I devoured this with my beer while people watching from the bar.
Following the ceviche, I had high hopes for the burger and was not disappointed. The Prospect Burger ($16.50 with fries) comes on a delicious buttered and lightly toasted bun with a thick green tomato and lettuce. The burger is accompanied by thick cut and salted french fries that were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Service at the bar, despite a busy crowd, was flawless. The entire staff referred to me by my name despite only introducing myself once to the bartender who took my beer order and they made me feel welcome without pestering me.
