Saison
This my 4th time dining here (2016, 2021, 2022) and Andrea’s second or third time. The last time we ate here was 2.5 years ago. Since that was before Chef Richard Lee became executive chef at Saison, this would be our first time dining here with his menu. We had an early seating as us…

Commis
I’ve been wanting to eat here for at least 5 years ever since we ate at the restaurant Wolf next door. I believe this is the last remaining Michelin starred restaurant in the east bay. We don’t eat out in the east bay often and esp. not during our normal Thursday dining because of the…

Californios
It was Andrea’s birthday so I booked dinner at her favorite restaurant Californios. This is our 5th timing dining here and it 4th time since 2022 (first time we ate at their previous location when they were still in the Mission). We last ate here in November, before it trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca,…

Sons & Daughters
MI/CDS peeps, look at the fossil I dug up to join me for dinner, John Lee (no he’s not here on FB). He’s here for a conference and was free this evening for dinner so he reached out. We talk regularly on Zoom, but we have not seen each other in person in over 35…

Californios
It’s only Wednesday, but we were having withdrawal from CDMX and Oaxaca, so I knew it was only a matter of time until we gave in and went back to Californios (we held out almost 10 days, lol). The menu had changed up since we ate here a month ago before our trip so almost…

Pujol
Tonight’s dinner was at Pujol, probably one of the most internationally recognized restaurants in CDMX. We almost didn’t dine here at all because I missed booking a reservation 2 months in advance because I didn’t initially understand that their web site reservation doesn’t initially show what is and isn’t available until you actually try to…

Quintonil
Today was our first dinner out here in CDMX. (For the record we did eat a late meall in the hotel yesterday since our flight out was delayed by almost 2 hours and although the food had some nice flavors, at the end of the day, it was hotel restaurant food). I had booked this…

Californios
Random Thursday dinner. Andrea has been wanting to come back here. I certainly enjoyed our previous 3 times we ate here, but didn’t love it as much as she did, but this time I definitely did. We did plan to come here during Dia De Los Muertos, but it turned out that way. We wanted…

Le Grand Restaurant – Jean-François Piège
Reservations were a bit difficult since so many restaurants are closed since this is the time for vacation in France, but I did make this reservation for dinner. The chef, Jean-François Piège, was head chef in Top Chef France for ten years. The cuisine was modern which we really enjoyed. The menu is a tour…

William Frachot
The dinner at William Francot was an enjoyable experience overall with fantastic technique and layered flavors, with some great highlights, but other dishes that were only appreciated, but didn’t live. One of the highlights was their version of oeuf en meurette with the sauce as rich as you could ever hope for. I also thought…
