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.…

Lion’s Choice
We ate here so many times in high school, so my sister and I had to try it again on this visit.

Ritual dinner with Alex Atala
What to do after we’ve eaten at every Michelin star restaurant in SF…I’d been receiving emails from Ritual since last September and their concept was intriguing, but for awhile we still had plenty of restaurants to try. Ritual brings in some of the top chefs from all over the world to a private venue in…

Yuji
We eat out a lot so always in something new and unique. This week I had us booked at Yuji, a kappo-style Japanese restaurant with a scant 8 seats in the heart of Japantown that just opened up a couple weeks ago. You can’t book them on OpenTable, Resy, or Tock (or even Seven rooms)…

Gary Danko
After we finished dinner yesterday, Andrea half-jokingly challenged me to find dinner for tonight. I’m not one to back down in finding a favorable dinner reservation, so challenge accepted! I booked us for Gary Danko, a place we haven’t eaten in 15-20 years and we were curious to see wat they were like. Back on…

Wako
I’ve been wanting to come back here…we last ate here pre-pandemic, although we did do take out during that time and as good as that was, it’s not nearly the same. Last time we ate here, we weren’t seated at the counter, but this time I made sure we were and that makes a big…

Rooh
Impromptu dinner reservation today…it’s rainy and we didn’t feel like grocery shopping and cooking and we already have dinner reservations for tomorrow. I recently read an article (can’t recall where) about this restaurant although it’s been open since 2017. It’s an elevated Indian fusion restaurant. We miss Dosa ever since they closed and Indian Oven…

Luce
Andrea was getting her hair done today so she gave me the challenge to find some place for dinner. Our obvious top picks were all booked of course. I came across Luce, in the Intercontinental Hotel, which was a former Michelin star restaurant…they had one star for over a decade, but being closed for the…

Birch & Rye
We had a small window to see Trisha only because her return flight home was delayed. We did a walk-in to the counter at the newest restaurant in our neighborhood, a contemporary Georgian restaurant. We had to have much of their infused vodka (we went with the horseradish vodka) and of course caviar. We tried…
