INÉ
We were in Hampstead so went to this place that Trisha liked. I was kind of glad to get a lighter meal and Japanese is always a good go to for me. It was a cold day, so nice to start with some miso. I ordered the salmon maki to start, Andrea ordered the vegetable…

Bébé Bob
After spending our afternoon at the AIRE Ancient Baths soaking in the baths and getting massages, we headed for dinner here at Bébé Bob. Trisha had eaten here before and since she knows we love caviar, this was a fun place to go for dinner. We started with a round of Bébé Lyan Martini’s (ice…

Gymkhana
This was our first meal on our recent trip to London. For better or worse, we were eating out on New Year’s Eve. We did schedule this early since we didn’t really want to be out into the evening. We had cocktails at Gymkhana’s sister cocktail lounge, 42, beforehand. There was a special NYE tasting…

42
Gynkhana notified me via e-mail that they also had a cocktail lounge that we could book before or after our dinner. We didn’t want to deal with the NYE crowd afterward, so we made a reservation for before our dinner. We arrived just a few minutes before our reservation and the staff hadn’t quite finished…

Coach & Horses
This was a place Trisha had wanted to try, so we did! I had the Monkey 47 (gin, lavender and cranberry) and Trisha and Andrea had the Grey Goose and soda. The drinks were very weak (i.e. couldn’t taste much alcohol), but Trisha explained that the liquor was served in 25ml amounts. In any case,…

The Rivoli Bar at the Ritz London
For our first outing here in London, we took the tube to Mayfair and walked around there a bit. We eventually got “thirsty” and stopped in at the Ritz to grab a drink at their bar. Quite a few people at the Ritz were dressed up and here for afternoon tea. Trisha ordered the Serenity…

SFO United Polaris Lounge Dining Room
We didn’t have too much time in the lounge before our flight. I should have taken more pictures of the lounge itself. It is certainly far roomier than the regular United Club lounge, but it was still pretty full in the dining area. The buffet looked better than the United Club buffet, but that isn’t…

Akikos
Peter T. invited me to lunch. I gave a bunch of recommendations and he picked Akikos, which is great by me! This was my 4th time dining here with the most recent being dinner earlier this month with Andrea. Every meal here as been great and I expected much the same this time as well.…

Pancake Boy
I met up with my neighborhood Ingress buddy Troy and offered to take him to lunch. He wanted to try Pancake Boy since he missed trying before with one of his friends. Andrea and I had eaten here right after they re-branded to Pancake Boy years ago. They used to be called Aha Fresh (and…

Nightbird
Since we missed out on eating here on Thursday, we had to try eating here (I guess I had FOMO). We had eaten here once before maybe 7 or 8 years ago (they opened in 2016). The restaurant is listed in the Michelin guide without any distinction (i.e. no stars or Bib Gourmand). We started…
