The Other Critics: Dream Farm, Bar Bambino, Noodle Theory

• Bauer gave today’s food section a miss, so the onus was on Carey Sweet to review San Anselmo’s Dream Farm. She liked it well enough for its big portions of simple food, calling it a “solid, satisfying spot,” with little room for improvement. But giving it two out of a possible four stars indicates there actually is 100 percent improvement potential. So, there’s that. [SF Chronicle]

• Paul Reidinger hit up Bar Bambino and found little bad to say about it, other than it is cramped and the white-bean-and-tuna salad is drab-looking. Other than that, he seems utterly charmed, and even seems to have been transcended a little, calling one pasta dish a “miracle.” [SFBG]

• Meredith Brody hit up Noodle Theory before they even got a beer and wine license. She liked the cucumber soft drink and found the high-end noodle soups to be the “stars.” Appetizers were hit and miss, it seems, including grilled salmon over greens that fell flat. [SF Weekly]
