SingleThread
It’s our anniversary so I booked us for dinner up at SingleThread up in Healdsburg. This is our third time (link to first time and second time) dining here and we had such an amazing experience when he ate last year. We had first dined here in February 2019 for the winter menu a few…

Cotogna
Dinner at Cotogna before the Dear San Francisco show. This is the sister restaurant to Quince (at which we ate last month). We’ve only eaten here once before and very much enjoyed it and this time we were even more impressed. Cocktails were delicious…I had the mezcal based Tremante, Andrea had the tequila based Aurora,…

A16
Dinner with our new friends from Germany who we’re hosting for a few days. We had an excess of food as usual at A16 which is someplace I’ve been meaning to try for a long time.Solid, traditional Italian cuisine. We were seated in the small back patio area. Some Italians dining back there and our…

Petit Crenn
This week’s dinner was at Petit Crenn. We’ve eaten at Atelier Crenn and Bar Crenn on various occasions over the years, but never made it to Petit Crenn. They were closed for the pandemic and only recently re-opened for a few months before the close permanently in September, so we had to try them out.…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I wasn’t jam packed with meetings today so we both had a little extra window to grab some lunch. I recommended we try out Elena’s in West Portal since they opened up in February. There’s a lot of buzz around this restaurant since it’s opening. It’s owned by the same couple (Elena and John) behind…

Sushi Yoshizumi
This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here…

Mijote

Zuni Cafe
We were feeling too lazy to make diver after our hike(for Andrea)/run(for me) in Tilden, but I found a last minute reservation at Zuni Cafe which I don’t think we’ve eaten at for over ten years. It fit the bill of being relatively my low key and close. We started with some cocktails of course.…

Madcap
We were supposed to do a low key dinner this week because we had Andrea’s dinner last week and mine next week, but she was supposed to be in San Raphael this afternoon and I’ve been having to eat at this restaurant in San Anselmo. Of course, her appointment needed to be rescheduled and we…

Sam’s Anchor Cafe
It wa such a beautiful day here – sunny, not too warm hot and a bit if a breeze. Andrea dropped me off at Crissey Field and I ran to meet her in Tiburon. We had lunch at Sam’s which is always a fun scene. We had some drinks, some oysters, crab cake, a burrata…
