Somni
I was excited to try this restaurant after seeing a bit about on reddit and then after they received their 3 stars (the first 3-starred restaurant in LA) after their reincarnation from when they had closed during the pandemic. . And then after our visit to Disfrutar in Barcelona, I had a renewed interest in

Disfrutar
I previously had a reservation for August 2024, but had to cancel that reservation due to travel/schedule conflicts and rebooked again for November this year (plus my sister said that it would be better to travel after the summer when it was not so crowded with tourists). I also inquired about the Living Table which

Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
(I don’t have a lot of detail on tasting notes since we had so many meals after this one before I started writing up all of my posts to catch up so I forgot a lot of it. Waah!) This was the only restaurant I booked before we arrived here in London. I only picked

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
My wife and I ate here for our last meal in London. We’ve been watching Hell’s Kitchen since season 1, so we were interested to try one of his flagship restaurants (I have eaten at some of his restaurants in Vegas, the latest being Hell’s Kitchen which was very meh). There was their regular tasting

CORE by Clare Smyth
We had first heard of Clare Smyth and CORE from Season 20 of Top Chef International All Stars, more specifically episode 9 for restaurant wars. It was also very memorable because of the chef’s table where the judges sat which gives you an open view of the nearby kitchen. We also happened to watch the

Smyth
I was very excited to get to spend additional time with Kristine on a sort of extended birthday celebration, especially since I’d have her all to myself this time and we’d be eating some delicious food. Kristine was decked out in some celebratory sparkles from bow tie to cuffs to shoes. I met Kristine at

Alinea
I just arrived in Chicago for a work conference and only have a short few days here so tried to make the most of it. On this day of arrival, I had Alinea booked for solo dining in the Salon. Alinea has 3 tastings, the Salon upstairs (in the Tock reservation page, they call out

SingleThread
It’s our anniversary so I booked us for dinner up at SingleThread up in Healdsburg. This is our third time (link to first time and second time) dining here and we had such an amazing experience when he ate last year. We had first dined here in February 2019 for the winter menu a few

Quince
This week’s dinner was at Quince which was a favorite of ours. I think this was our 5th or 6th time here, but it’s been 2 years since we’ve been back and the first time since they renovated. The renovations took pretty much the whole year last year. The space is much more open and

Atelier Crenn
I booked this for Andrea’s b-day. I didn’t recall that we had dined here 4 years ago in 2019 for her b-day as well until I looked it up here on Facebook. Also, prior to this becoming Atelier Crenn, it was Plumpjack where Andrea and I went on a date over 20 years ago… The
