Yuji
We first ate here when they first opened back in April 2022. We thought it was interesting and decent, but not enough to warrant another visit. I heard about the limited time snow crab menu on the Fine Dining discord, so I it seemed like a good opportunity to try them out again. It was

Nari
Dinner here with Jacob and Robert. This was my 6th time dining here (was last here after Andrea and I came to Hotel Kabuki for Sake Day and then ate here at Nari afterward). Jacob brought an aged Margaux that he scored as part of lot from K&L that he won (Thank you Jacob!). We

Breakfast at The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil
This was our second breakfast for our mini-cation here. We were again given the ginger cake. I went with the other recommendation from the GM from our dinner here two nights ago – the Smoked Salmon Pizza. This was basically a pizza crust, topped with a bit of dill crème fraîche, scrambled eggs, and then

Auro
(WRITEUP IN PROGRESS) This place hadn’t been on my radar, but it was one the last remaining stars from wine country to San Francisco (and east bay) to the peninsula at which i had not yet eaten. It’s somewhat Californios meets Cyrus since he is from Mexico City and worked at Cyrus (as well as

Breakfast at The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil
This was our first breakfast here which was also a free perk since we had booked through the Chase travel portal. We saw some of the same diners as we saw at dinner the previous evening (and they were also seated at the same table). We we first given a little ginger cake dusted with

The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil
This was our first evening after driving up to Napa. After a lot of our meals, Andrea always talked about being able to just go up to our room right afterward instead of having to drive or take an Uber/Lyft/Waymo back. So, this was our chance since we were staying on property at Auberge du

Dumpling Kitchen
Andrea has been under the weather and had a craving for some hot and sour soup. So we ran some errands and then stopped off at Dumpling Kitchen for dinner. She ordered the Hot and Sour Soup and the Dry-Braised String Beans. I was determined to order things that we had not previously ordered here,

Cork & Pig Tavern
Had lunch with our Microsoft account team several of whom were based here in the Dallas area. This was my first chance to meet them all in person. We ate at a restaurant right across the street from our office. I wanted something somewhat light so I went with the Crab Cake salad. I asked

Mamani
After flying into Dallas late afternoon, I had the rest of the evening free, so of course I was trying to figure out where to eat. Michelin guide showed two restaurants, Tatsu and Mamani, with stars. Neither showed any availability, but I called Mamani. At first they said they only had an opening at 9:00,

Happy Crane
I’ve been meaning trying to get a reservation here for a little while and ended up with one on a Saturday at 7:30pm, not our usual night out out (which is Thursday and Thanksgiving when we had a nice meal at Copra) and later than we normally like to eat out (we’re old farts). The
