Liholiho Yacht Club
This was a random Thursday dinner since Andrea was working downtown in the office and so we figured we may as well grab some dinner downtown. We were trying to go relatively low key since we had just been gorging ourselves in Las Vegas over the extended weekend. We ended up going to LihoLiho Yacht

Flour + Water
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since they opened in 2009(!). When they first opened, there were no reservations and it was wait in line only so we never bothered. During the pandemic, we did have some of their food kits. We had also ordered on numerous occasions from the pasta shop and eaten

Dumpling Home
When we went to Nightbird a few weeks ago, we passed by Dumpling Home on our way. This was also on our list of places to try, but we hadn’t prioritized it since since you can’t make reservations (line up and put your name on the yelp list once open). Andrea had been thinking about

San Ho Won
Andrea and I first ate here back in December of 2021 not too long after they first opened in November of that year. It was hailed as being high-end Korean cuisine with Corey Lee, of Benu fame, as one of the founders. We had very high expectations from our experience at Benu. Back then, we

Saru
Popped in for a quick lunch at Saru. When they used to have lunch service during the week pre-pandemic, I had eaten here a 2 or 3 times a week after my mid-day run because they had a lunch menu then. Saru is only open for weekends now and it’s the same menu for lunch

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
My wife and I ate here for our last meal in London. We’ve been watching Hell’s Kitchen since season 1, so we were interested to try one of his flagship restaurants (I have eaten at some of his restaurants in Vegas, the latest being Hell’s Kitchen which was very meh). There was their regular tasting

Darjeeling Express
This was a restaurant Trisha was interested in going to and we were definitely game. We started with the Chicken Momos, Puchkas, and Chili Cheese Toastie. The momos were more shaped like pot stickers rather than the round momos that I’m used to seeing, so there was a bit more dough than I’m used to

The Parakeet
Trisha had been wanting to eat here for the Sunday roast, esp. since there is a large sirloin that needs more than 1 person to consume. That being said, we ordered more than the three of us would be able to eat, but that’s the way we roll. We ordered cocktails to start. For starters,

CORE by Clare Smyth
We had first heard of Clare Smyth and CORE from Season 20 of Top Chef International All Stars, more specifically episode 9 for restaurant wars. It was also very memorable because of the chef’s table where the judges sat which gives you an open view of the nearby kitchen. We also happened to watch the

Gymkhana
This was our first meal on our recent trip to London. For better or worse, we were eating out on New Year’s Eve. We did schedule this early since we didn’t really want to be out into the evening. We had cocktails at Gymkhana’s sister cocktail lounge, 42, beforehand. There was a special NYE tasting
