Roland Passot, chef/co-owner of Russian Hill’s La Folie, celebrated the 21st birthday of his acclaimed French restaurant by premiering La Folie Lounge in an erstwhile bakery next door; spruced up with pressed-tin ceilings and white-leather sofas, the setting is a fittingly luxe complement to the pricey signature cocktails, many with Gallic flair, as well as the upscale nibbles and desserts worthy of its pedigree.
