Elena’s
It had been awhile since we had been here so I booked a reservation for Sunday noon. It was mostly full, but only one party waiting to get seated, so we probably could have walked in and there were plenty of seats at the bar. We were seated promptly after checking in and amusingly we

The Anchovy Bar
We were looking for a relatively low-key dinner this Friday. We decided to eat here previously and enjoyed ourselves (it turns out we hadn’t eaten here since 2022 so it had been a lot longer than we had remembered). We made reservations for seating at the bar since that’s where we get to see all

Californios
We were celebrating Andrea’s birthday at her favorite restaurant. This was our seventh time here, but surprisingly we hadn’t been here in a year…when we were celebrating her b-day last year! We both ordered cocktails, which didn’t arrive until our 4th course/bite. Andrea had the Californios Martini and I had the Cantarito. The martini was

Schnitzel Haus
Matthias wanted to eat here and for good reason! We also were all interested in having something different and since we don’t often eat out for German food (last time for us was at Suppenküche 6 months ago). Restaurant was fairly small with about 10 tables. We were seated with two square tables put together

Saigon to Paris Cafe
Andrea and I took a redeye to get to my parents. They picked us up at the airport and then we went to lunch at this Vietnamese/French restaurant and patisserie. It was in an odd location in the middle of a warehouse district. The place was pretty full for a random Thursday. Menu looked great

Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago. Because we were doing this impromptu, Kiln didn’t have reservations open for the current day, so

Good Good Culture Club
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

Chase Sapphire Lounge in BOS
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

SHŌWA Le Gourmet Tonkatsu
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.

The Caviar Co.
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
