The Caviar Co.
What to eat after a run to Tiburon (for the record, i “only” ran the 16 miles from Sports Basement Presidio instead of the 20 miles from home) – caviar of course! We love having lunch at The Caviar Company of course. Plus it was sunnier on this side of the bridge and I worship…

Caruso’s
We’re here in SB, so checking out some of the places to eat of course. Last night, we had a very enjoyable casual meal at Corazon Concina in the Public Market. Today we were going for a fancier venue. Caruso’s is a Cal-Italian restaurant at the Rosewood Miramar with a beachfront location. We were fortunate…

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…

Addison
Spoiler alert: this was probably the best meal we’ve ever had…and also the most expensive. This restaurant was the main reason we came down here to the San Diego area. 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…

Marlena
Tonight’s dinner was at Marlena. We last ate here in November 2021 just after they received their Michelin star. My recollection was that it was ok and very under-seasoned (just some salt would have helped), but their prix fixe pricing was very value oriented (back then it was $60/pp if I recall correctly). We’ve obviously…

Foreign Cinema
A rare Tuesday night dinner eating out for us. We decided to go to Foreign Cinema in the Mission which is a a bit of an institution. It gets it’s name since they play a movie projected onto a wall in the dining area. This was definitely not a foreign film and was in fact…

The Progress
Tonight’s dinner was at The Progress. We’ve eaten here with Trisha A. pre-pandemic (funny how we divide so many things into before covid, during, and after). I honestly don’t remember what we ate last time, but I do remember exactly where we sat and being with Trisha, but I don’t recall the food. It is…

Frances
Tonight’s dinner was at Frances, one of our old haunts. Frances was formerly a Michelin starred restaurant and sister restaurant to Octavia, which we also have enjoyed several times. Both of these restaurants have a format for the tasting menu that provides several small dishes (i.e like tapas) for each course. We really enjoy this…

Boulevard
Neither of its had eaten here in many years so we thought it’d be fun to try this place after so many years. 25 years ago (dang I’m old), I used to work at One Market and had eaten here many many times. Restaurant appeared to be quite busy (we showed up at almost 6:00pm)…

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…
