Morimoto
Our last meal here. I picked Morimoto since it would be different from the two meals of Chinese food we already had at Din Tai Fung and Hakkasan. We had eaten at Morimoto Asia in Napa in October, but found it meh. Many years ago (2012!) we had eaten at Morimoto in Napa and I…

INÉ
We were in Hampstead so went to this place that Trisha liked. I was kind of glad to get a lighter meal and Japanese is always a good go to for me. It was a cold day, so nice to start with some miso. I ordered the salmon maki to start, Andrea ordered the vegetable…

Akikos
Peter T. invited me to lunch. I gave a bunch of recommendations and he picked Akikos, which is great by me! This was my 4th time dining here with the most recent being dinner earlier this month with Andrea. Every meal here as been great and I expected much the same this time as well.…

Marufuku Ramen
After visiting the SWEA Christmas Fair at St. Mary’s, we wanted some more substantial, well prepared food and since we were parked in the parking garage in J-town, I wanted to get some ramen. I ended up picking Marufuku based on a quick review on The Infatuation (and there were several recommendations that all looked…

Akikos
Andrea was working in the office today, so whenever she does, I always ask if she wants to have dinner downtown, which she did. So I booked us at Akikos which we enjoyed in the past as well as their sister restaurant, Friends Only, which more of their experimental restaurant. We had early reservations as…

Dash
We were looking for a quick and easy low key dinner (and ideally healthy), so we walked down to Dash. Last time we walked by here on a Friday, it was packed. Today on a Tuesday, maybe half full. We ordered a half bottle of Dassai 45 which was actually better than I remember it…

Saru
We were just looking for a low key dinner this Wednesday evening, so we decided to just dine in our neighborhood. I’m always up for sushi so Saru seemed like a good option, esp. if we could get seating at the bar. They don’t take reservations and it’s a small restaurant (I think 6 tables…

Sushi Ran
Andrea had her hair appointment in Corte Madera so it was a good opportunity to run in Marin. I’m not really much in shape these days (took a nearly 4-month hiatus from running due to various illness with associated lung congestion), but getting back into it. It was a beautiful day to run and thanks…

Kame Omakase
I was trying to figure out where to eat tonight. i was thinking sushi since I had Italian yesterday and was going to have French tomorrow. I did some quick searching on google, yelp, tripadvisor, and reddit. AYCE (all you can eat) places are apparently very popular here in LV, but that’s not what I…

Taishoken
After running around the city (including an unsuccessful search for canale), Kristina and Paula treated us to some ramen, which was a great idea. We went to the Taishoken at their Valencia St. location. We started with the Agedashi Tofu and Eggplant. I enjoyed the subtle flavor of this dish, although the fried part on…
