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…

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…

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…

Sushi Yoshizumi
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…

Enjoyed a delicious omakase lunch with Plamen to celebrate his new job. It was so great to see him and catch up and ruminate on the impact of AI on the future of humanity.

Friends Only
Last night’s dinner was at Friends Only, an omakase counter that is also the R&D kitchen for Akikos (at which we ate in February). The restaurant only seats 10 and for our reservation there were only 6 seated to we were all spaced out nicely and it was quite nice to not have things so…

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). The entire restaurant is the sushi bar which has only has 10 seats. It sounds like Scratch has a chain of sushi restaurants…

Akikos
This week’s dinner was at Akiko’s, which recently moved into their new location on Folsom St. as of January 10. As we entered, there was a very nice cocktail bar at reception. Had we known, we would have come earlier to enjoy although since it was right by the door, it was a bit rough…
