Valley
We visited here during our previous visit to Sonoma last August and we were both not impressed. Apparently I’m a glutton for punishment (or maybe I’m just a glutton, lol) so I decided to give it another try. Couldn’t get a reservation so I just tried a walk-in. I was given a table in the

Kenzo
(this is AI generated just from the menu, haha. Using as a placeholder until I have a chance to write it up) We were up here for the Napa Truffle Festival and so I booked us for dinner here. This is the last Michelin-starred restaurant at which I hadn’t yet dined between Napa/Sonoma through SF

Frances
Andrea wanted a lowkey dinner. It’s been awhile since we’ve eaten at Frances (wow, Nov 2022!). The nice thing about it is we can walk there and it gets us out of the house and a little bit of physical activity. It wasn’t that busy at all. We sat at the window counter seat that

And then after our visit to Disfrutar in Barcelona, I had a renewed interest in

Yuji
We first ate here when they first opened back in April 2022. We thought it was interesting and decent, but not enough to warrant another visit. I heard about the limited time snow crab menu on the Fine Dining discord, so I it seemed like a good opportunity to try them out again. It was

Nari
Dinner here with Jacob and Robert. This was my 6th time dining here (was last here after Andrea and I came to Hotel Kabuki for Sake Day and then ate here at Nari afterward). Jacob brought an aged Margaux that he scored as part of lot from K&L that he won (Thank you Jacob!). We
