    3rd Cousin

    Getting back to our Thursday dining. Had an article from Forbes that popped up in one of my news readers about this place in Bernal where we so rarely eat (Have only eaten at Marlena and Chisai Sushi Club), so we decided to give it a try. We parked on the western end of the…

    A belated birthday dinner for my sister. I ate here last month in the salon (I.e. bar), but the full tasting experience at what was the best table in the restaurant (the same when I ate here for the first time years ago) right next to the kitchen:. The entire staff and Liz once again…

    I was getting a bit stir crazy at home and wanted to eat out. Wasn’t sure what the restaurant scene would be with covid fears running amok. No worries, this place was full. We’d been meaning to eat here for awhile. Relatively casual place. We had a nice table at the window. We went for…

    #33 old folks early dinner booked last minute. a very enjoyable meal overall. There wasn’t a tasting menu and wine pairing (we couldn’t remember the last time we ate at a Michelin Star restaurant that didn’t have a tasting menu) but it worked out great where they accommodate us and just shared all of our…
