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

Mamani
After flying into Dallas late afternoon, I had the rest of the evening free, so of course I was trying to figure out where to eat. Michelin guide showed two restaurants, Tatsu and Mamani, with stars. Neither showed any availability, but I called Mamani. At first they said they only had an opening at 9:00,

Pavyllon London
Trisha had been wanting to try this place for late breakfast and we were game. I made a reservation at the counter (we always like to see the cooking action) and seats at the corner so the 3 of us could all speak to each other more easily. It was nice that they had perfectly

Verjus
This was my third, Andrea’s second time dining here. Last time we were here, it was a wine maker dinner which was pretty mid in part because they essentially served all 20 of us banquet style, although the first time I ate here we had just ordered a la carte and it was fantastic which

Absinthe Brasserie & Bar
We (me, Andrea, Kirsten, Greg) were going to the first event of the KQED Reframe Festival and wanted to have dinner nearby. I booked us for Absinthe which conveniently about a block away. I haven’t been here for at least 15 years and it’s a testament to the longevity of the restaurant. Andrea and I

Verjus
Been wanting to go here. Never went when they were open before, but thanks to Steven’s invite, I finally had a chance to go. Verjus is a French-inspired wine bar from the owners of Quince (where we’re have some of our best meals, but in our opinion has fallen off in our most recent dining)

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay
My wife and I ate here for our last meal in London. We’ve been watching Hell’s Kitchen since season 1, so we were interested to try one of his flagship restaurants (I have eaten at some of his restaurants in Vegas, the latest being Hell’s Kitchen which was very meh). There was their regular tasting
