    Just an impromptu lunch after doing the Noe Valley Garden Tour. We had the Spicy Cracker to start and the 12-piece nigiri omakase. Satisfying lunch. https://sarusushisf.com

    Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago. Because we were doing this impromptu, Kiln didn’t have reservations open for the current day, so

We were the first to arrive although the restaurant was fully booked for 5:30pm on a Wednesday evening, but in talking to the somm (this time we were seated all the way on the right

    Andrea was out for her annual work dinner with her coworkers so instead of just staying home myself, I decided to go out for dinner. I decided on sushi and there were a couple restaurants I had been wanting to revisit, but I checked with Andrea which one she wanted to go to more between

    This is our fourth time dining here. It’s an easy choice for casual dinner with delicious comfort food since we had intended to be downtown anyway. We had to start with some cocktails. Andrea went with the Braccialetto which was made with mezcal, citrus, and amaro. This had decent mezcal flavor to it with a

    Our dinner was at Prelude which just opened up in the Jay Hotel this past August and was recently added to Michelin Guide this March, so i had to give it a try. Chef Celtin Hendrickson-Jones’ cuisine is Southern with updated technique and local ingredients. We went with the tasting menu (which I think is

    This was my fourth visit here (Andrea’s third). When we last dined here, it was a 1 Michelin star under the new chef, Chef Harrison. They picked up their second star last August. This time, I asked for the table up front right next to the kitchen with a great view of all of the

    I had come across this restaurant a couple times online and my curiosity was piqued with their seasonally themed tasting menu. We had really planned anything for dinner today and since Andrea was downtown, it’s always a good excuse to find a restaurant, so I booked a first seating reservation for us for their Humpty

    We tried the food here during the pandemic in an at home meal kit. We were impressed enough that we did eat here post-pandemic and enjoyed the food, but weren’t wowed by the food. I don’t remember how I came across this event (one we were seated I did see this was an AmEx exclusive

    TL;DR version – food was pretty interesting and tasty, but service was pretty poor. we were seated at the bar and somehow they seemed to forget about us a couple times(?!) We first ate here almost 3 years ago now and enjoyed ourselves. So we had been talking about revisiting (always so many restaurants to
