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

Abacá
Dinner with my parents in SF. Brought them to Abaca, a contemporary Filipino restaurant that’s been open for a couple years now.

Sons & Daughters
Random Wednesday dinner. I was downtown because I was at the Oktane conference at Moscone and Andrea happened to go into the office so we decided to eat downtown. We had been meaning to eat at the restaurant at the Taj Campton Hotel, but they were closed today. But we had wanted to revisit dining

Septime
Lunch today at Septime. Looks so unassuming outside and in which belies the quality of the food. The made the most of their ingredients to develop flavors esp. in the sauces which were always rich, seasoned, and layered. I think Andrea and Trisha’s favorite dish was the tomato dish with several preparations of the tomato

Le Soufflot
We grabbed lunch in Mersault at Le Soufflot. I had the zucchini starter (seems to be very in season here dive we see it everywhere), the duck with beets (also in season) and the strawberry dessert. A nice enough impromptu lunch.

Ed.Em
Dinner was at Ed.Em, a 1-star restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet. We hadn’t yet been down here and it definitely felt more in the country, with few buildings and lots of vineyards. The restaurant was very casual and we seemed to be the most dressed up group in the restaurant (and we weren’t very dressed up). Dinner
