    We were down in the Mission for the first Mission Night Market. We had to figure out where to eat. Anything on Valencia Street where the market was happening was going to be a mess, so we were walking towards Delfina (which we’ve done take away many many times, but haven’t eaten in the restaurant…

    This was my first opportunity to try a Chase Sapphire Lounge having not previously travelled to an airport with one of them. Lounge is located between B and C terminals which worked out perfectly since I was flying United in terminal C and Bella and Matthias were flying JetBlue in terminal C. TL;DR this is…

    I hadn’t really heard about this tonkatsu place through the usual blog sites, but did hear about it through a Discord fine dining group. I had been trying to get a reservation here for a few months. It seemed impossible to get a table for 2 although for 3 or more seemed much more available.…

    I’m not sure the last time we ate here. Usually it’s when Andrea has a hair appointment in Corte Madera and i go for a long run, but I had various respiratory ailments for most of the second half of the year so I wasn’t running, but I’m finally get back into it again. Not…

    Was going to lunch with one of my ex-coworkers. We had planned to go to Niku Butcher Shop for their wagyu smash burger, but since there was a fire in Niku Steakhouse, they’ve been closed for that service (boo hoo). Our original plan was ramen in Japantown so that’s where we headed. We had been…

    This is our fourth time dining here. It’s an easy choice for casual dinner with delicious comfort food since we had intended to be downtown anyway. We had to start with some cocktails. Andrea went with the Braccialetto which was made with mezcal, citrus, and amaro. This had decent mezcal flavor to it with a…

    Our dinner was at Prelude which just opened up in the Jay Hotel this past August and was recently added to Michelin Guide this March, so i had to give it a try. Chef Celtin Hendrickson-Jones’ cuisine is Southern with updated technique and local ingredients. We went with the tasting menu (which I think is…

    This was my fourth visit here (Andrea’s third). When we last dined here, it was a 1 Michelin star under the new chef, Chef Harrison. They picked up their second star last August. This time, I asked for the table up front right next to the kitchen with a great view of all of the…

    We tried the food here during the pandemic in an at home meal kit. We were impressed enough that we did eat here post-pandemic and enjoyed the food, but weren’t wowed by the food. I don’t remember how I came across this event (one we were seated I did see this was an AmEx exclusive…
