    (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

    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

    We didn’t want to cook for Thanksgiving and neither did Kirsten and Greg so we all decided to eat out. Understasndably, there aren’t a lot restaurants open on Thanksgiving, but fortunately Copra was. We love eating here and expected it would be even more fun with four of us so that we could order more

    This was our third time dining here, but it had been more than about 2.5 years since we had last eaten here. We sat at the counter again in the exact same spot. Out of simplicity/laziness, we just did the set menu again. First dish delivered was the San Ten Mori sashimi course which included

    Kristine arrived this and I figured she hungry and want something good to eat. Dim sum is always an easy choice and we’ve been favoring Dragon Beaux as of late. It was packed and plenty of people waiting to get. Even with a reservation we had to wait 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Five Guys

    This was a bit of a random Wednesday night to eat out. Picked this place since it was reasonably priced and we had enjoyed eating here when they first opened in 2023 as well as the chefs’ previous restaurant Marlena. Restaurant was pretty busy, even at opening, which given that this is one the least

    We just wanted something quick and tasty for lunch and Billingsgate is always an easy option for us. We always seem to get the same thing because it is always so good. We get oysters – 6 Kusshi and since Standish Shores. Andrea gets the dungeness crab and I get both the Spanish toasts and

    I previously had a reservation for August 2024, but had to cancel that reservation due to travel/schedule conflicts and rebooked again for November this year (plus my sister said that it would be better to travel after the summer when it was not so crowded with tourists). I also inquired about the Living Table which

    We had done some shopping on Pg. de Gràcia and before we headed back to our AirBnB, I scouted out a some lunch options that were close by. We dropped into Batea without a reservation and fortunately there were only a few tables seated. Batea specializes in seafood, so that’s what we ordered. Trisha is
