Le Cirque
A very enjoyable meal at Le Cirque. I’m a sucker for a classic French menu. I selected the 5 course (10 was just too much for my first night of four here) menu although I did opt for the Maryland crab with Russian Osetra caviar (gold leaf also of course), foie gras (with a very…

Nico
Thursday dinner at Nico. There are 62 Michelin starred restaurants in the Bay area and this was our halfway point… Number 31 on our current list. I’d actually call this a bargain relative to many of the places at which we’ve dined this year. Food was tasty and very well executed. Wine pairings were interesting…

Cocktails were tasty and all of the dishes had interesting ingredients and flavors. The biggest nitpick we would have is that the dishes we are off of were just too small.…

I’m the banana buffer) with the newbie sushi chef (3 months at the restaurant compared to 21 years and…

When first arriving at the restaurant (on Mission between 7th and 6th) from my Lyft, I was greeted by some homeless folks and the air was redolent of urine, but once…

Atelier Crenn
Easily one of the best meal/experiences we’ve had, in our top 3 for sure. Very seafood/localvore menu. Preparation, flavors, wine pairings were sublime. Definitely earned all of its Michelin stars. We’d happily go back again.
