Angler
Andrea hadn’t been interested in revisiting Angler so when Steven invited me for dinner, we decided to go since neither of us had been for awhile. The cocktails were very enjoyable. We mainly had them mezcal versions of other cocktails (e.g. penicillin, last word, negroni). There are some items off menu that you can ask

Indienne
We were very interested to try this restaurant because we love good Indian food and of course we love fine dining. I had opted us both to do the non-vegetarian tasting menu, but in retrospect, i wish we had done one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian just so we could try the different dishes. There were

Wakuriya
This wasn’t really on my radar since we primarily eat in the city, but it was mentioned a couple times on the Fine Dining discord group, so I decided to give it a try. The first challenge is getting a reservation. You basically have to leave a message and wait for a call back to

Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago. Because we were doing this impromptu, Kiln didn’t have reservations open for the current day, so

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

Press
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
