Hand Roll Project
We’re looking for an impromptu dinner with sushi. This was a place I was curious about based on all of the hype it received in the press V V, probably because one of founders was Geoffrey Lee from restaurant Juni (one Michelin star) and they were expanding on the handroll concept. This restaurant currently doesn’t…

Automat
Wanted to try something new for lunch so decided to go to this new place in NoPa at the former Green Chile location. Owner is former sous chef from Lazy Bear and baker was formerly from Tartine. Andrea had the chop salad and I had the Cheezy Buddy smashed burger and we started an order…

Manresa
We’ve been meaning to eat here for years, but we were preoccupied eating at so many SF restaurants. But if you want to say you’ve eaten at all of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in the Bay Area, you’ll undoubtedly need to dine here. Menu is a chefs tasting menu, of course, and we did…

Good Good Culture Club
Fortunate to be able to celebrate my parent’s 55th anniversary with them here in San Francisco. Ate at new, trendy, Hawaiian/pan-Asian place in the Mission. We had seating out on the rooftop patio which I had requested since we are having such nice weather here. Food was so delicious and interesting across the board. For…

They lost their Michelin star in the latest…

Quince
Still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We eat out most Thursdays and theoretically this was an early b-day meal for me. We usually eat early, but I did book this last minute so we had a 7:30 reservation. Service was definitely busy compared to our last time here in September for an…

The Anchovy Bar
Andrea has been busy with work so she wanted to eat out. We decided on this place because we really enjoyed it the first time we ate here in January and wanted to come back. We wanted to sit at the counter again to get a bird’s eye view of the kitchen which is always…

Ritual dinner with Nacho Manzano
Another Ritual dinner. Andrea had to work so I went solo. I was particularly interested in this one since the chef was from Asturias, where my late cunado was from. The venue was a beautiful gallery space in SoMa. Food was Spanish and Asturian including a very elevated fabada which we remember well when eating…
