Benu
We both had PTSD from the horrific meal we had on Valentine’s Day at the Waikiki Marriott last Friday (to be fair we didn’t have a reservation so had to go where we could) so we wanted to cleanse our palates back in the safe confines of San Francisco. This was the last 3 Michelin…

Izakaya Rintaro
Impromptu dinner since we were at Rainbow Grocery and this place was around the corner and looked interesting. We sat outside since we were walk ins and that was all that was available. It worked out since our was a lot quieter outside than in.

Mister Jiu’s
#36 another place we’ve been meaning to try for awhile. Started with some very tasty cocktails at the bar. We definitely over ate since we wanted to try so many different things. Started with the Dutch crunch pork buns, then the oxtail soup, mu shu mushroom with peanut hoisin sauce, potstickers, and then dungeness crab…

Andrea Setterholm was the only non-Asian in the restaurant, surely a good sign . Ingredients were excellent (sourced from Japan(of course), Spain, and Turkey). Meticulous preparation and great flavor profiles. So…

SPQR
I’ve been meaning to eat here for awhile and so I made a reservation for after watching Star Wars (my third viewing) at the Kabuki. We had, what I would say, were the best seats (for us) in the restaurant at the chefs counter. It was great to see the cooks and chefs in action.…

Acquerello
(repeat restaurant) We definitely spent the day doing our bit to prop up the economy with our consumer spending on Black Friday. Started the day with shopping at Barney’s (going bankrupt closing sales) and Bloomingdales (I never imagined one could spend so much on sweat pants…Paul Smith, so they are pretty darn awesome). Chillaxing a…

#33 old folks early dinner booked last minute. a very enjoyable meal overall. There wasn’t a tasting menu and wine pairing (we couldn’t remember the last time we ate at a Michelin Star restaurant that didn’t have a tasting menu) but it worked out great where they accommodate us and just shared all of our…
