Forgot to Post, didn't forget to eat

I never forget to eat, but I often forget to post...
Anyways, last Saturday I went out to Salthouse in SF with my parents and Kathryn for a nice family dinner.
We started out with Oysters on the halfshell. Served with lemon, mignette and cocktail sauce. Paired with a caraff of Chardonnay from their cask. (Salt house has 3 wines on tap now, the Chardonnay, a Cab, and a Syrah. I think?)
For my appetizer, I ordered their Yellowtail tartare. Beautiful and fresh chunks of yellowtail, with celery, fennel, and grapefruit. The yellowtail was great, with the crunch of celery and fennel, back by a nice a sweetneess from the grapefruit. I say the yellowtail was great, but the dish was not. It was ok. I felt like the dish missed something, a collection of carefully diced ingrediants that just needed one more thing to bring them all together. A nice kick of spice would of done it for me, or maybe a complimenting herb?
For my entree, I ordered their braised shortrib, which came accompanied by a spring medley of vegatables perfectly cooked. When I order a braised dish, I generally expect a fair amount of sauce, am I wrong? Well, the rib meat (Removed from its bone) was properly cooked, but came with the tiniest tablespoon of sauce created from the rib braising liquid. Enough for about half the meat and none of the vegetables. Sad...
But their desert offered was worth the missteps, a warm Rhubarb with shortbread and poppyseed icecream. The dish came in a shallow soup bowl (Something for salthouse to consider with their braised rib, I want enough sauce to warrent a bowl, which you already have.) with the shortbread cookie, cut in a poppyseed flower shape, floating like an island in the midst of a sea of warm rhubarb. Perfectly placed, so the scoop of poppyseed icecream would be save and sound aboard the cookie, protected from the warm rhubarb until I was ready to scoop it up!
