What to have at Wayfare Tavern (other than the fried chicken) [SF]

My wife and I are going to Wayfare Tavern for dinner and nothing leaps off the menu for us.
Any suggestions on what to order (other than the famed fried chicken) ?

    +1 for the deviled eggs and double takes on the popovers they bring once you are seated. Our teens loved the Uni Appetizer if you are into Uni

      I've been there a number of times, but a couple of weeks ago for the first time I had the burger which was really good. The deviled eggs are always nice and the butter lettuce salad was a wonderful simple preparation, but oh, so good thanks to the green goddess dressing! Their poutine was mentioned in the Chronicle a few days ago.

        I agree that the burger is very good. Brussel sprouts are nicely done, and the salmon and sole dishes I've had there were also excellent. I thought the poutine was great (though someone found it too salty in the poutine thread) but it's incredibly rich. If you don't share the poutine, you're not going to want much else.

        I really liked the beef tartare, though next time I order it I'll ask for toast instead of popovers.
