Blue Barn Gourmet

The Marina, Fisherman’s Wharf & the Piers


Toss aside ordinary salads. For $13.95, build a mighty mound of organic produce, topped with six fixings, including artisan cheeses, caramelized onions, heirloom tomatoes, candied pecans and pomegranate seeds; add extra for grilled organic meats and seafood. For something hot, try the grilled cheese with soppressata salami, manchego cheese and Mission-fig jam. On balmy days, sit on the back patio.
