R&G Lounge
I’ve been wanting to take my parents here since I know they’d enjoy the food here. They must have liked it since this was the most I’ve seen them eat in one day!

Bao
First day with my parents visiting here in SF. We would normally go to Yank Sing, but they were closed so we decided to try this place out.

Ernest
Tonight’s dinner was at Ernest. They opened in the middle of the pandemic so I had missed hearing about them. Chef Brandon Rice is the chef/owner and formerly worked at Rich Table (this was the last restaurant we ate at right before pandemic lockdown in March 2020. They lost their Michelin star in the latest…

Quince
Still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We eat out most Thursdays and theoretically this was an early b-day meal for me. We usually eat early, but I did book this last minute so we had a 7:30 reservation. Service was definitely busy compared to our last time here in September for an…

The Anchovy Bar
Andrea has been busy with work so she wanted to eat out. We decided on this place because we really enjoyed it the first time we ate here in January and wanted to come back. We wanted to sit at the counter again to get a bird’s eye view of the kitchen which is always…

Ritual dinner with Nacho Manzano
Another Ritual dinner. Andrea had to work so I went solo. I was particularly interested in this one since the chef was from Asturias, where my late cunado was from. The venue was a beautiful gallery space in SoMa. Food was Spanish and Asturian including a very elevated fabada which we remember well when eating…

One of the chefs was from Liholiho Yacht Club at which we ate at their pop up many years ago. Cuisine is modern Hawaiian/Asian. Ordering is all done through their Toast web site which…

3rd Cousin
Getting back to our Thursday dining. Had an article from Forbes that popped up in one of my news readers about this place in Bernal where we so rarely eat (Have only eaten at Marlena and Chisai Sushi Club), so we decided to give it a try. We parked on the western end of the…

Gabriel Kreuther
Lunch at Gabriel Kreuther (2-Michelin etoiles). 3 course prix fixe, with a truffled amuse to start. Foie gras terrine for me (hey, I can’t get foie gras in SF). Duck confit for the main which was deliciously rich as you’d want/expect. A bit on the heavy side for lunch, but no complaints. Good thing I…

Kochi
Here in NYC for work and was able to convince my coworkers to try this Korean skewer place (1 Michelin star) which conveniently was only a couple blocks from our hotel. Food was so different and interesting compared to the usual fare…different layers of flavors with each course and the wine/soju pairings worked really well.…
