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.

Heitz was promoting a flight of wines which included their…

Sushi Hon
Kristine wanted some seafood/sushi for dinner so we found ourselves with an omakase tasting + 3 piece supplement (we’re always suckers for caviar, wagyu, and truffle) and a sake/wine pairing at Sushi Hon. Wines included a brut rose, a white Burgundy, and a sauterne. Sake pairings were enjoyable and included a Dassai 50 nigori, but…
