    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

    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

    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

    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

    This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here

    This week we weren’t able to eat on Thursday since Andrea had a filing deadline and was working crazy hours, so i booked this for Sunday. I saw an article a few days ago in The Infatuation and saw that we had eaten at most of the restaurants on the list, so of course I

    This was a sort of a last minute, same day reservation…we were having our taxes done and figured we might as well go out and eat. There were a couple new restaurants I wanted to try, but they weren’t open for dinner on Sunday. I’ve been wanting to come back here to Nisei (japanese born

    This week’s dinner was at Hina Yakitori. Sadly, we only heard about this place because of articles of it’s impending closure at the end of the month. The chef had mentioned the lack of diners which is not surprising in a very competitive restaurant environment here in SF. The restaurant only seats 10 people and
