Bouchon
Our last day in Napa for Kristine’s b-day weekend extravaganza and our last meal up here. Since didn’t make it to French Laundry on Thursday, we did want to at least try one of Thomas Keller’s other restaurants, in this case, Bouchon, his French bistro. The weather was perfect so we decided to take a

Georgie
I’m only here in Dallas for about 24 hours, but I did take the opportunity to take my cousin out to dinner. We haven’t seen each other or communicated much since the last time I was here in Dallas probably 25 years or more ago. It was really great to catch up with him and

I wanted to eat here since the first time I ate here, it was one of the best dining experiences I had, so I couldn’t pass up an opporunity to dine here again. I first ate here 5 years ago to the date and amsuingly, they sat me at the same table, in the same

Hell’s Kitchen – Las Vegas
Late lunch/early dinner. Was curious what this restaurant would be like since we had tried Ramsay’s kitchen in January. I went with the 3-course prix fixe since I wanted to try the beef Wellington anyway I thought it was OK for the price, which was relatively modest. The bulk of the cost for the tasting

Mijote
This week’s dinner was at Mijote, a French bistro in the Mission. They have a low-key 4 course prix fixe menu (modestly priced at $82 each) with the options for add ons. They feature natural wines by the glass or bottle. We had seats at the counter (there is also table seating). In addition to

Zuni Cafe
We were feeling too lazy to make diver after our hike(for Andrea)/run(for me) in Tilden, but I found a last minute reservation at Zuni Cafe which I don’t think we’ve eaten at for over ten years. It fit the bill of being relatively my low key and close. We started with some cocktails of course.

Le Grand Restaurant – Jean-François Piège
Reservations were a bit difficult since so many restaurants are closed since this is the time for vacation in France, but I did make this reservation for dinner. The chef, Jean-François Piège, was head chef in Top Chef France for ten years. The cuisine was modern which we really enjoyed. The menu is a tour

Ed.Em
Dinner was at Ed.Em, a 1-star restaurant in Chassagne-Montrachet. We hadn’t yet been down here and it definitely felt more in the country, with few buildings and lots of vineyards. The restaurant was very casual and we seemed to be the most dressed up group in the restaurant (and we weren’t very dressed up). Dinner

L’Ecrit’Vin
Went for 2 classic regional dishes – oeufs en meurette, boeuf bourguignon

Restaurant Daniel
This was one of the many restaurants on my list to try in NYC. We managed to score same day reservation late, which fortunately wasn’t very late for us since we’re still on pacific time zone. We’re not used to coming in on the second seating so there was a bit of a wait before
