Atelier Crenn
I booked this for Andrea’s b-day. I didn’t recall that we had dined here 4 years ago in 2019 for her b-day as well until I looked it up here on Facebook. Also, prior to this becoming Atelier Crenn, it was Plumpjack where Andrea and I went on a date over 20 years ago… The…

SingleThread
It was an action packed weekend with yesterday’s dinner at the Secret Cove with Outstanding in the Field and then a pool party with one of the partners with whom Andrea works in Healdsburg. Since we were up here, why not have dinner at 3-Michelin starred restaurant Single Thread, which is exactly what we did.…

Sushi by Scratch
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi by Scratch at the Montecito Inn in Montecito. This is the other Michelin-starred restaurant in the SB area (both being in Montecito, just a few block apart).

So yesterday I started looking through OpenTable, Resy, and Tock and Lazy Bear was available for a 6:30 dinner. We ate here sometime pre-pandemic (seems so long…

Osito

Robin
This week’s dinner was at Robin. I hadn’t eaten here since before the pandemic, but Andrea had eaten here with Trisha since then. Back then, I really enjoyed the modern take on sushi and enjoyed the rap music playing as background music. So I was really looking forward to coming here again, but wondered if…

Ernest
Tonight’s dinner was at Ernest. They opened in the middle of the pandemic so I had missed hearing about them. Chef Brandon Rice is the chef/owner and formerly worked at Rich Table (this was the last restaurant we ate at right before pandemic lockdown in March 2020. They lost their Michelin star in the latest…
