Gold Bar Whiskey Distillery
Had our departmental team building activity here at Gold Bar. I’m on the committee that helped plan the meeting and this activity so we picked this since none of us had been here. I’ve only been to Treasure Island once before when I did my first Olympic distance triathlon in 2007(!). I was amazed how

Townhouse
I scheduled a work dinner before our onsite meeting since we so rarely get together since we are all remote and all over the country. I picked Townhouse since I’ve been here a billion times and is one of the nicest places in Emeryville (as far as I know. I haven’t had to go into

Sun Moon Studio
Sun Moon Studio is located in Oakland just a couple blocks from Den Sake (we enjoyed their sake maker dinner at Nisei) and less the 0.5 mile from Hyphy Burger and an industrial area. It’s only the second active Michelin starred restaurant in the east bay having just received theirs in the June update to

Rossi’s Deli
I had an appointment to get my Covid vaccine in the Castro since they had the Moderna one, but I had a bit of time beforehand so I was looking for someplace quick to eat beforehand. After some quick searching online and Eater’s list of best places to eat in the Castro, picked this place

Sorrel
Dinner event hosted by one of our VARs at Sorrel. We attended this same event 2 years ago and had definitely enjoyed both the food, the discussion by the panel, and talking to our fellow diners at the event. This time though, Andrea was sick so I ended up going solo. My account manager, reminded

Copra
This was our fourth time here at Copra. We ate here when they first opened and our last visit was last year for a champagne maker dinner. This time we came for Onam Sadya. My understanding is that sadya is a celebratory lunch, typically vegetarian, from the Kerala region of India and onam is the

Firefly
We were lazy and didn’t want to get groceries and cook so I started looking for someplace to eat out. So we ended up going to Firefly since it’s close and we’ve generally enjoyed the food when we’ve gone. Andrea started with the Baby Lettuce Salad and I had the Grilled Daikon Radish which we

La Lucha Coffee
We wanted a little pick me up so we stopped in at this coffee shop on Sanchez St. Andrea’s been a few times, but it was my first time since I normally don’t go our for coffee. Andrea got a latte and I got a matcha latte with oat milk. Decent and very friendly workers.

Dumpling Kitchen – Noe Valley
We hadn’t got grocery shopping, so we decided to eat out for lunch. We hadn’t been to Dumpling Kitchen in awhile. We ordered the Pea Sprouts w/ Garlic (one of Andrea’s favorites), Steamed Soup Pork Dumplings (i.e. XLB. I suppose they “Americanized” their menu a bit), BBQ Beef Ribs (to try something different) and the

The Centurion Lounge – SFO Terminal 2
Finally had a chance to go to the temporary location (due to all of the construction in Terminal 3) for the Centurion Lounge in Terminal 2. I believe this was the previous Alaskan Airlines lounge. Space feels pretty spacious since it’s not all chopped up and stretched out like it was in Terminal 3. Food
