I’d heard a lot of good things about this restaurant and the progressive dinner experience. It had been a 2-star Michelin restaurant until it closed in 2012. It reopened in September of 2022, 10 years later. I finally booked us a reservation when we made a last minute decision to go up to wine country…

San Ho Won
Andrea and I first ate here back in December of 2021 not too long after they first opened in November of that year. It was hailed as being high-end Korean cuisine with Corey Lee, of Benu fame, as one of the founders. We had very high expectations from our experience at Benu. Back then, we…

Nari
This is our 4th time eating here, but it’s been about 15 months since we’ve eaten here and it’s one of Andrea’s favorites since we’re guaranteed to get a flavorfully delicious meal. We started with cocktails which is always a good way for us to start if they have a good cocktail program, which they…

Was thankful to be able to celebrate Kristine’s 50th with her and several of her other close friends (Charlotte, Lilly, and Dave) during this long weekend and especially on this day of her actual birthday. I won’t remember all of the details of the food since we had so much going on, esp. the conversations.…

Hilda & Jesse
I’ve been meaning to eat here for awhile, but since it’s more a brunch place (and we don’t often brunch), I never got around to it. They just earned their surprise Michelin star recently, so I at least thought we’d try them for our weekly dinner (they’re open Thur, Fri, Mon for dinner). They have…

Sushi Yoshizumi
This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here…

We were supposed to do a low key dinner this week because we had Andrea’s dinner last week and mine next week, but she was supposed to be in San Raphael this afternoon and I’ve been having to eat at this restaurant in San Anselmo. Of course, her appointment needed to be rescheduled and we…

Mister Jiu’s
I wanted to revisit Mr. Jiu’s since we hadn’t been here since pre-pandemic 2020. Restaurant didn’t seem very busy, but that’s not unusual on a Thursday evening (which is one reason we eat out on Thursdays), although later the bar would be packed. We started with some cocktails which were….just ok. They kind of seemed…

Nisei
This was a sort of a last minute, same day reservation…we were having our taxes done and figured we might as well go out and eat. There were a couple new restaurants I wanted to try, but they weren’t open for dinner on Sunday. I’ve been wanting to come back here to Nisei (japanese born…

Rosetta
We worked up our appetites after a morning of ballooning and visiting the ancient pyramids at Teotihuacan. We decided to go to Rosetta. This restaurant is #49 on the 2023 World’s 50 Best list and chef Elena Reygadas was also named World’s Best Female Chef 2023. The cuisine is a fusion of Italian and Mexican…
