SUISUN CITY - Outside of the appetizers and desserts, which are done by his wife Min Song, Soo Song cooks all the dishes at Main Street Bar & Grill.
Song is a familiar face, having owned the Old Post Office Seafood & Grill in Vacaville. He sold it about six months ago.
'This is more upscale. It's a different atmosphere,' he said of the new restaurant.
He purchased Main Street more than a year ago and spent three months remodeling it before it opened in May 2007.
His cuisine: 'More like a French-Italian style.'
The French, he explained, like richer sauces. Italian cooking, he added, also has sauces and tend to be more spicier than French. 'I like spicy,' he said.
'French food changes every four to five years,' he said, recalling when Nuevo French was popular. Today, he added, it's more like a California cuisine.
The menu also includes dishes, like rack of lamb, not often found in area restaurants. Song also offers specials like a duck breast in a rosemary marinade and venison and rabbit.
Diners are welcome to leave their phone number and Song will call them when he makes the above dishes.
Desserts include chocolate mousse, tiramasu and crme bržlŽe.
This is Song's seventh restaurant, including Rodin in San Francisco, which was rated number 5 on a Zagat survey. Another San Francisco restaurant, Kiss, hosted Brooke Shields.
At his Creekside Bistro in San Anselmo, Song's customers included George Lucas and Sean Penn.
He's been in the restaurant business almost 30 years. Right now, he said, his heart belongs in Suisun City, in the 130-year-old building with a historic and full bar, with its own menu.
