    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…

    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…

    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…

    It was an action packed weekend with yesterday’s dinner at the Secret Cove with Outstanding in the Field and then a pool party with one of the partners with whom Andrea works in Healdsburg. Since we were up here, why not have dinner at 3-Michelin starred restaurant Single Thread, which is exactly what we did.…

    Niku Steakhouse

    It had been awhile since we had eaten here (Jan 4, 2020 to be exact). Always so many restaurants to try here so we don’t repeat very often. But we’d been so disappointed with any other steakhouse (Mastros, Harris, STK), but we did have a great experience here last time. So when on our reservation,…

    Izakaya Rintaro

    This week’s dinner was a bit more lowkey than our more typical fine dining. This restaurant often appears on a lot of lists so we figured we’d try it again. We’ve eaten here once before for an impromptu dinner since we had been shopping at Rainbow Grocery and did a walk-in seating. I remember it…

    Aphotic

    Last night’s dinner was at Aphotic a newly opened fine dining seafood restaurant with a focus on local produce a traceable seafood. This space was formerly the restaurant Palette (Andrea also remembered this prior to that being Lulu’s) owned by the same chef, Peter Hemsley (a Quince alum). It underwent a renovation with a darker…

    Copra

    Tonight’s dinner was at Copra, a new Sri Lankan restaurant where Dosa used to be. We were very saddened when Dosa closed and haven’t found any decent Indian restaurants (Bibi Ji in Santa Barbara was very good, but not great). For us, it’s often about the quality of the spices and of course the preparation,…
