Sons & Daughters
Random Wednesday dinner. I was downtown because I was at the Oktane conference at Moscone and Andrea happened to go into the office so we decided to eat downtown. We had been meaning to eat at the restaurant at the Taj Campton Hotel, but they were closed today. But we had wanted to revisit dining…

Sorrel
This week’s dinner was at Sorrel in Presidio Heights area. We first ate here in June 2021 as one of the first restaurants when we started feeling comfortable eating out again after the pandemic. This time around, it was a vendor event (thank you CDW). We started with champagne and hors d’oeuvres outside and then…

The Shota
It’s Wednesday and it’s a Spare-the-Air day due to the fires up north so we didn’t want to grill and it was unseasonably hot so we didn’t want to cook. Andrea wanted sushi so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in SF, The Shota. We first dined here in December…

Le Grand Restaurant – Jean-François Piège
Reservations were a bit difficult since so many restaurants are closed since this is the time for vacation in France, but I did make this reservation for dinner. The chef, Jean-François Piège, was head chef in Top Chef France for ten years. The cuisine was modern which we really enjoyed. The menu is a tour…

Septime
Lunch today at Septime. Looks so unassuming outside and in which belies the quality of the food. The made the most of their ingredients to develop flavors esp. in the sauces which were always rich, seasoned, and layered. I think Andrea and Trisha’s favorite dish was the tomato dish with several preparations of the tomato…

Le Soufflot
We grabbed lunch in Mersault at Le Soufflot. I had the zucchini starter (seems to be very in season here dive we see it everywhere), the duck with beets (also in season) and the strawberry dessert. A nice enough impromptu lunch.

Ed.Em
Dinner was at Ed.Em, a 1-star restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet. We hadn’t yet been down here and it definitely felt more in the country, with few buildings and lots of vineyards. The restaurant was very casual and we seemed to be the most dressed up group in the restaurant (and we weren’t very dressed up). Dinner…

William Frachot
The dinner at William Francot was an enjoyable experience overall with fantastic technique and layered flavors, with some great highlights, but other dishes that were only appreciated, but didn’t live. One of the highlights was their version of oeuf en meurette with the sauce as rich as you could ever hope for. I also thought…

Noodle in a Haystack
This week’s dinner was at a small high end ramen restaurant that seats 10-12 people. This was the Spring Extended menu, so dishes change seasonally and the extended menu differs from the weeknight counter menu, but is largely the same as the Friday Sake Pairing Extended menu (which features a couple different dishes and exclusive…

Birch & Rye
Andrea and I were feeling lazy for dinner today, so we decided to eat out in our neighborhood. There are 3 new restaurants that we still haven’t tried, but we decided to go to one of our tried and true restaurants, Birch & Rye, a restaurant with elevated Georgian/Russian cuisine. We started with a couple…
