Hélène Darroze at The Connaught
(I don’t have a lot of detail on tasting notes since we had so many meals after this one before I started writing up all of my posts to catch up so I forgot a lot of it. Waah!) This was the only restaurant I booked before we arrived here in London. I only picked

Wolfsbane
This is the new restaurant from the husband and wife team previously at Lord Stanley. I didn’t want to try them at their very first week so I waited all the way until their second week to book this reservation (I know, I am so virtuous with patience, haha). We had only eaten once at

Four Flamingos, A Richard Blais Florida Kitchen
I had just flown into Orlando and after straightening out some mishaps with my hotel, I was ready to eat. I always want some reasonably decent, so this looked like a good option…listed in the Michelin guide, restaurant from Richard Blais, but I did notice while making my reservation on OpenTable that it was only

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

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

Oriole
This was our last night in Chicago, so I had us scheduled for Oriole. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening and were waiting outside in 90+ degree temperatures. Fortunately, the host saw us outside and let us in where we sat inside the working elevator/lift that they had turned into the waiting area. When

Indienne
We were very interested to try this restaurant because we love good Indian food and of course we love fine dining. I had opted us both to do the non-vegetarian tasting menu, but in retrospect, i wish we had done one vegetarian and one non-vegetarian just so we could try the different dishes. There were

Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago. Because we were doing this impromptu, Kiln didn’t have reservations open for the current day, so

TL;DR version – food was pretty interesting and tasty, but service was pretty poor. we were seated at the bar and somehow they seemed to forget about us a couple times(?!) We first ate here almost 3 years ago now and enjoyed ourselves. So we had been talking about revisiting (always so many restaurants to
