Harris’ Restaurant
In the 30+ years Andrea has lived here and the 25+ years I have, neither of us had ever eaten here, so it was certainly long overdue. As expected, it was old-school/classic from the decor, the cocktails, the menu, which we were in the mood to try. Andrea started with the Caesar salad and I…

Californios
Our weekly dinner out, but also our anniversary dinner. So great to have some elevated Mexican/Latin cuisine… we’ve had so much French/California/European fine dining cuisine, we really enjoyed something different. Flavors, ingredients, preparation, beverage pairings were all so interesting. Difficult to pick a favorite with so many great flavors during the masa courses, the taco…

Nari
Last night’s dinner at Nari – Andrea had been wanting to come back here for awhile so I’m glad we finally did. This time we went with the chef’s pick (I.e. tasting menu). Cocktails were all very good, although we didn’t enjoy the one that was like an overly sweet Manhattan. Flavors were rich and…

Caviar Day with The Caviar Co.
The Caviar Co. had an event here for National caviar day (actually on Monday). They were tasting their full range of caviars…on blinis, potato chips, oysters, deviled eggs, and even ice cream. Of course our favorite way to taste the caviar was just as bumps of which we had many. The siberian sturgeon was the…

Ritual dinner with Diego Guerrero
Another Ritual dinner, this time with Diego Guerrero, a 2-Michelin star chef from Spain at a venue in Cow Hollow. It’s late so I won’t go into great detail, but the chef did an amazing job extracting flavor from the ingredients. The vegetarian chorizo was so amazing and flavorful that you would have never guessed…

Hand Roll Project
We’re looking for an impromptu dinner with sushi. This was a place I was curious about based on all of the hype it received in the press V V, probably because one of founders was Geoffrey Lee from restaurant Juni (one Michelin star) and they were expanding on the handroll concept. This restaurant currently doesn’t…

Automat
Wanted to try something new for lunch so decided to go to this new place in NoPa at the former Green Chile location. Owner is former sous chef from Lazy Bear and baker was formerly from Tartine. Andrea had the chop salad and I had the Cheezy Buddy smashed burger and we started an order…

Manresa
We’ve been meaning to eat here for years, but we were preoccupied eating at so many SF restaurants. But if you want to say you’ve eaten at all of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in the Bay Area, you’ll undoubtedly need to dine here. Menu is a chefs tasting menu, of course, and we did…

Good Good Culture Club
Fortunate to be able to celebrate my parent’s 55th anniversary with them here in San Francisco. Ate at new, trendy, Hawaiian/pan-Asian place in the Mission. We had seating out on the rooftop patio which I had requested since we are having such nice weather here. Food was so delicious and interesting across the board. For…
