Boulevard
Neither of its had eaten here in many years so we thought it’d be fun to try this place after so many years. 25 years ago (dang I’m old), I used to work at One Market and had eaten here many many times. Restaurant appeared to be quite busy (we showed up at almost 6:00pm)…

Bansang
This week’s dinner was at Bangasng, one of the hot new restaurants in SF per Eater located on the block on Filmore, next door to Avery and just up and across the street from The Progress and State Bird Provisions and The Anchovy Bar. It’s a modern Koreran tapas place. The banchan was only a…

Frasca Food & Wine
Italian (Friuli region) dinner with Trisha in Boulder. Tasting menu in the alpenglobe seating (this would be a perfect she-shed in our back yard). Wine pairing and aged amari and barolo quinato for digestif. Food was good, not quite Michelin star level, but adventurous and interesting. Wine was very good and the servers and sommelier…

Robin
This week’s dinner was at Robin. I hadn’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but Andrea had eaten here with Trisha since then. Back then, I really enjoyed the modern take on sushi and enjoyed the rap music playing as background music. So I was really looking forward to coming here again, but wondered if…

Rich Table
This restaurant was the last one we ate at (3/12/20) right before the pandemic lockdown occurred. We remember having a great time so we were curious to revisit although they did lose their Michelin star in the latest guide. We had a 5:15 reservation and the restaurant was already quite full on a Thursday. Cocktails…

Californios
Our weekly dinner out, but also our anniversary dinner. So great to have some elevated Mexican/Latin cuisine… we’ve had so much French/California/European fine dining cuisine, we really enjoyed something different. Flavors, ingredients, preparation, beverage pairings were all so interesting. Difficult to pick a favorite with so many great flavors during the masa courses, the taco…

Nari
Last night’s dinner at Nari – Andrea had been wanting to come back here for awhile so I’m glad we finally did. This time we went with the chef’s pick (I.e. tasting menu). Cocktails were all very good, although we didn’t enjoy the one that was like an overly sweet Manhattan. Flavors were rich and…

Manresa
We’ve been meaning to eat here for years, but we were preoccupied eating at so many SF restaurants. But if you want to say you’ve eaten at all of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in the Bay Area, you’ll undoubtedly need to dine here. Menu is a chefs tasting menu, of course, and we did…

Ernest
Tonight’s dinner was at Ernest. They opened in the middle of the pandemic so I had missed hearing about them. Chef Brandon Rice is the chef/owner and formerly worked at Rich Table (this was the last restaurant we ate at right before pandemic lockdown in March 2020. They lost their Michelin star in the latest…
