State Bird Provisions
This week’s dinner was at State Bird Provisions. We first ate here in August 2021 and was one of the first places we ate coming off of the pandemic. Back then we sat outside in their parklet since there wasn’t any indoor seating and I remember having to show my proof of vaccination to them

Addison
Spoiler alert: this was probably the best meal we’ve ever had…and also the most expensive. This restaurant was the main reason we came down here to the San Diego area. At our last Ritual dinner, the person sitting next to me said this was one of his best dining experiences. The following week was the

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star

Lazy Bear
We hadn’t made any explicit plans for dinner this week, but living here in SF, we have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to places to dine. So yesterday I started looking through OpenTable, Resy, and Tock and Lazy Bear was available for a 6:30 dinner. We ate here sometime pre-pandemic (seems so long

Kin Khao
A quick early dinner at Kin Khao. During the pandemic, we had takeout/delivery from here, but had never actually eaten in the restaurant and this was/is the only Michelin-starred restaurant in SF at which we had not dined actually in the restaurant (including the latest guide just published). It is the older, but little sister

SSAL
Tonight’s dinner was at SSAL, newly awarded a Michelin star a couple weeks ago. Cuisine is Korean fine dining. The decor is Scandinavian minimalist, clean. Tables were nicely spaced out. Tasting menu was 12 courses plus the additional urchin/egg/slmon roe course I added. Favorite courses were the wagyu tartare, seaweed eel roll, the amberjack, the

The Progress
Tonight’s dinner was at The Progress. We’ve eaten here with Trisha A. pre-pandemic (funny how we divide so many things into before covid, during, and after). I honestly don’t remember what we ate last time, but I do remember exactly where we sat and being with Trisha, but I don’t recall the food. It is

Osito
We eat out so much that it’s not very often that we’re so pleasantly surprised. Osito (little bear, which the chef explained his nickname at one point during the meal) was bestowed a Michelin star on Monday when they announced all of the new stars in Calfiornia, so of course we had to go. The

Frances
Tonight’s dinner was at Frances, one of our old haunts. Frances was formerly a Michelin starred restaurant and sister restaurant to Octavia, which we also have enjoyed several times. Both of these restaurants have a format for the tasting menu that provides several small dishes (i.e like tapas) for each course. We really enjoy this
