Akikos
This week’s dinner was at Akiko’s, which recently moved into their new location on Folsom St. as of January 10. As we entered, there was a very nice cocktail bar at reception. Had we known, we would have come earlier to enjoy although since it was right by the door, it was a bit rough

State Bird Provisions
This week’s dinner was at State Bird Provisions. We first ate here in August 2021 and was one of the first places we ate coming off of the pandemic. Back then we sat outside in their parklet since there wasn’t any indoor seating and I remember having to show my proof of vaccination to them

At our last Ritual dinner, the person sitting next to me said this was one of his best dining experiences. The following week was the

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star
