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

Nightbird
Since we missed out on eating here on Thursday, we had to try eating here (I guess I had FOMO). We had eaten here once before maybe 7 or 8 years ago (they opened in 2016). The restaurant is listed in the Michelin guide without any distinction (i.e. no stars or Bib Gourmand). We started

Saru
We were just looking for a low key dinner this Wednesday evening, so we decided to just dine in our neighborhood. I’m always up for sushi so Saru seemed like a good option, esp. if we could get seating at the bar. They don’t take reservations and it’s a small restaurant (I think 6 tables

Sushi Ran
Andrea had her hair appointment in Corte Madera so it was a good opportunity to run in Marin. I’m not really much in shape these days (took a nearly 4-month hiatus from running due to various illness with associated lung congestion), but getting back into it. It was a beautiful day to run and thanks

Nari
This is our 4th time eating here, but it’s been about 15 months since we’ve eaten here and it’s one of Andrea’s favorites since we’re guaranteed to get a flavorfully delicious meal. We started with cocktails which is always a good way for us to start if they have a good cocktail program, which they

Smyth
I was very excited to get to spend additional time with Kristine on a sort of extended birthday celebration, especially since I’d have her all to myself this time and we’d be eating some delicious food. Kristine was decked out in some celebratory sparkles from bow tie to cuffs to shoes. I met Kristine at
