Auro
(WRITEUP IN PROGRESS) This place hadn’t been on my radar, but it was one the last remaining stars from wine country to San Francisco (and east bay) to the peninsula at which i had not yet eaten. It’s somewhat Californios meets Cyrus since he is from Mexico City and worked at Cyrus (as well as

Breakfast at The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil
This was our first breakfast here which was also a free perk since we had booked through the Chase travel portal. We saw some of the same diners as we saw at dinner the previous evening (and they were also seated at the same table). We we first given a little ginger cake dusted with

The Restaurant at Auberge du Soleil
This was our first evening after driving up to Napa. After a lot of our meals, Andrea always talked about being able to just go up to our room right afterward instead of having to drive or take an Uber/Lyft/Waymo back. So, this was our chance since we were staying on property at Auberge du

7 Adams
This was a bit of a random Wednesday night to eat out. Picked this place since it was reasonably priced and we had enjoyed eating here when they first opened in 2023 as well as the chefs’ previous restaurant Marlena. Restaurant was pretty busy, even at opening, which given that this is one the least

Protégé
Another vendor dinner this week. I bummed an Uber ride with Steven so it was great to catch up. I don’t come down to Palo Alto often for dinner (last time was an event at Nobu). The vendor had rented out the whole restaurant for the event, so that was nice. From what I remember

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

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

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

Spruce
Last minute decision to go here for lunch/brunch. I had a great solo dining experience here last October, so was happy to come back and I was starving since I had gone for a run this morning and this was pretty late for me to eat. We were served the coffee cake to start, but

Enclos
We were looking forward to dining here and spending a little bit of time in Sonoma which we don’t do often enough. We just walked from our AirBnB which was located a couple blocks south of the plaza. The restaurant was just barely east of the plaza on Napa Rd. and coincidentally next to Sojurn
