Sons & Daughters
Random Wednesday dinner. I was downtown because I was at the Oktane conference at Moscone and Andrea happened to go into the office so we decided to eat downtown. We had been meaning to eat at the restaurant at the Taj Campton Hotel, but they were closed today. But we had wanted to revisit dining…

Sorrel
This week’s dinner was at Sorrel in Presidio Heights area. We first ate here in June 2021 as one of the first restaurants when we started feeling comfortable eating out again after the pandemic. This time around, it was a vendor event (thank you CDW). We started with champagne and hors d’oeuvres outside and then…

The Shota
It’s Wednesday and it’s a Spare-the-Air day due to the fires up north so we didn’t want to grill and it was unseasonably hot so we didn’t want to cook. Andrea wanted sushi so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in SF, The Shota. We first dined here in December…

Septime
Lunch today at Septime. Looks so unassuming outside and in which belies the quality of the food. The made the most of their ingredients to develop flavors esp. in the sauces which were always rich, seasoned, and layered. I think Andrea and Trisha’s favorite dish was the tomato dish with several preparations of the tomato…

Ed.Em
Dinner was at Ed.Em, a 1-star restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet. We hadn’t yet been down here and it definitely felt more in the country, with few buildings and lots of vineyards. The restaurant was very casual and we seemed to be the most dressed up group in the restaurant (and we weren’t very dressed up). Dinner…

Nari

Niku Steakhouse
It had been awhile since we had eaten here (Jan 4, 2020 to be exact). Always so many restaurants to try here so we don’t repeat very often. But we’d been so disappointed with any other steakhouse (Mastros, Harris, STK), but we did have a great experience here last time. So when on our reservation,…

Aphotic
Last night’s dinner was at Aphotic a newly opened fine dining seafood restaurant with a focus on local produce a traceable seafood. This space was formerly the restaurant Palette (Andrea also remembered this prior to that being Lulu’s) owned by the same chef, Peter Hemsley (a Quince alum). It underwent a renovation with a darker…

Caruso’s
We’re here in SB, so checking out some of the places to eat of course. Last night, we had a very enjoyable casual meal at Corazon Concina in the Public Market. Today we were going for a fancier venue. Caruso’s is a Cal-Italian restaurant at the Rosewood Miramar with a beachfront location. We were fortunate…

State Bird Provisions
This week’s dinner was at State Bird Provisions. We first ate here in August 2021 and was one of the first places we ate coming off of the pandemic. Back then we sat outside in their parklet since there wasn’t any indoor seating and I remember having to show my proof of vaccination to them…
