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

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star

Kin Khao
A quick early dinner at Kin Khao. During the pandemic, we had takeout/delivery from here, but had never actually eaten in the restaurant and this was/is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in SF at which we had not dined actually in the restaurant (including the latest guide just published). It is the older, but little sister

SSAL
Tonight’s dinner was at SSAL, newly awarded a Michelin star a couple weeks ago. Cuisine is Korean fine dining. The decor is Scandinavian minimalist, clean. Tables were nicely spaced out. Tasting menu was 12 courses plus the additional urchin/egg/slmon roe course I added. Favorite courses were the wagyu tartare, seaweed eel roll, the amberjack, the

The Progress
Tonight’s dinner was at The Progress. We’ve eaten here with Trisha A. pre-pandemic (funny how we divide so many things into before covid, during, and after). I honestly don’t remember what we ate last time, but I do remember exactly where we sat and being with Trisha, but I don’t recall the food. It is

Osito
We eat out so much that it’s not very often that we’re so pleasantly surprised. Osito (little bear, which the chef explained his nickname at one point during the meal) was bestowed a Michelin star on Monday when they announced all of the new stars in Calfiornia, so of course we had to go. The
