The Wild
I only heard about this restaurant after reading a review last week by Virginia Miller in The Bold Italic (I am a big fan of her reviews. Since she’s local, we are often eating at many of the same new restaurants and her reviews are detailed and well written and we agree with her reviews…

Press
Was thankful to be able to celebrate Kristine’s 50th with her and several of her other close friends (Charlotte, Lilly, and Dave) during this long weekend and especially on this day of her actual birthday. I won’t remember all of the details of the food since we had so much going on, esp. the conversations.…

Spruce
Andrea was out of town so I’m home alone. So what’s an epicurean enthusiast to do…go out to brunch! We ate ere 5 years ago for dinner when it coincidentally happen to be white truffle season. It was 1-star restaurant back then, but they lost their star in the latest Michelin guide. I wasn’t really…

Saison

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.…

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.…

7 Adams
We’re back to our Thursday weekly dining schedule. This time we went to 7 Adams which is the new restaurant from the former chef’s, David Fisher and Serena Chow Fisher, from Michelin starred restaurant Marlena in Bernal. We first ate that right after they received their first star after the pandemic and again earlier this…
