Mamani
After flying into Dallas late afternoon, I had the rest of the evening free, so of course I was trying to figure out where to eat. Michelin guide showed two restaurants, Tatsu and Mamani, with stars. Neither showed any availability, but I called Mamani. At first they said they only had an opening at 9:00,

7 Adams
This was a bit of a random Wednesday night to eat out. Picked this place since it was reasonably priced and we had enjoyed eating here when they first opened in 2023 as well as the chefs’ previous restaurant Marlena. Restaurant was pretty busy, even at opening, which given that this is one the least

Pavyllon London
Trisha had been wanting to try this place for late breakfast and we were game. I made a reservation at the counter (we always like to see the cooking action) and seats at the corner so the 3 of us could all speak to each other more easily. It was nice that they had perfectly

Capa
This was the only Michelin starred restaurant in the area near Disney other than Victoria & Albert’s (on waitlist) without having to go into downtown Orlando. It was a plus for me that it was Spanish cuisine. I took my Uber straight from the conference to the restaurant in Golden Oaks. Golden Oaks turned out

Protégé
Another vendor dinner this week. I bummed an Uber ride with Steven so it was great to catch up. I don’t come down to Palo Alto often for dinner (last time was an event at Nobu). The vendor had rented out the whole restaurant for the event, so that was nice. From what I remember

Selby’s
Vendor dinner in the private room upstairs. Glasses of Billecart-Salmon champagne to start. Hors d’oeuvres were quite good. The caviar on the blini featured caviar hybrid kaluga (my favorite) from Petrossian. Other hors d’oeuvres included one made with sunchoke, one with beef tartare and a gruyere puff with truffle (don’t recall where it was from).

Nari
We were already in the Hotel Kabuki for Sake Day, I had planned for us to eat at Nari which is also in the hotel and also one of Andrea’s favorite restaurants. This was our 5th time here and we usually get the chef’s pick menu, but this time we decided to go a la

Sun Moon Studio
Sun Moon Studio is located in Oakland just a couple blocks from Den Sake (we enjoyed their sake maker dinner at Nisei) and less the 0.5 mile from Hyphy Burger and an industrial area. It’s only the second active Michelin starred restaurant in the east bay having just received theirs in the June update to

Sorrel
Dinner event hosted by one of our VARs at Sorrel. We attended this same event 2 years ago and had definitely enjoyed both the food, the discussion by the panel, and talking to our fellow diners at the event. This time though, Andrea was sick so I ended up going solo. My account manager, reminded

Niku Steakhouse
Jacob, our account manager, invited me out to dinner with Lionel, one of the reps. Not as many options on Monday, but this was a fantastic option. I haven’t been here since 2023 when Andrea and I last dined here and was definitely looking forward to it. We had a 6pm reservation and it was
