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

Noodle in a Haystack
This week’s dinner was at a small high end ramen restaurant that seats 10-12 people. This was the Spring Extended menu, so dishes change seasonally and the extended menu differs from the weeknight counter menu, but is largely the same as the Friday Sake Pairing Extended menu (which features a couple different dishes and exclusive

Birch & Rye
Andrea and I were feeling lazy for dinner today, so we decided to eat out in our neighborhood. There are 3 new restaurants that we still haven’t tried, but we decided to go to one of our tried and true restaurants, Birch & Rye, a restaurant with elevated Georgian/Russian cuisine. We started with a couple

Prik Hom
low-key dinner this week at Prik Hom, a new-ish (opened in Feb) Thai restaurant on Geary in Laurel Heights. Menu has a few choices each for starters, soup, salad, curry, and stir fry. We went with all of our waiter’s recommendations (although we would have happily ordered anything on the menu) – branzino passion fruit

This week’s dinner was at Kiln. The chef and many of the staff had previously worked at Sons & Daughters at which we dined back in March 2019. No doubt the staff made a copy of their customer database since they greeted us in reference to our previous dining there (and I didn’t tell them

It’s Thursday, our usual dining out day so we ate at Anomaly, a restaurant that was started as a pop-up in previous years an finally settled into their permanent location in Lower Pac Heights.

Nari
After our last several dinners out, I’ve decided to go on a no Michelin star free diet. Andrea’s been wanting to go back to Nari, so here we are! We last ate hear almost a year ago. We went with the Chef’s Pick, which is a great way to go in our opinion because you

Copra
Tonight’s dinner was at Copra. Andrea and I ate here just a couple months ago, but we were glad to eat here with our new friend Sara who we sat next to at the Outstanding in the Field dinner in Pescadero. It was definitely more enjoyable to have another person with us for dinner since

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
