Chartreuse
We were in the Castro to check out their night market. Very lively. Secondarily, Andrea wanted to check out this new-ish liquor store called Full Proof. They also were having a sparkling/champagne tasting (two cremants and two Pol Rogers) so that didn’t hurt. Their selection was interesting and varied. We saw the special edition Monkey…

Scoma’s
Peter and I wanted to catch up over lunch. We picked Scoma’s. I last ate here when I still lived in LA in the 90s and would come up here for work. It’s in Fisherman’s Wharf so it definitely is here with all of the tourists, but it’s set a bit off from the main…

Dumpling Home
Last meal with Trisha and Lili. Second time here for me and Andrea and it’s definitely more fun to go with more people since we could try so much more. Line wasn’t too busy to get a seat (i was second in line getting there 20 min before opening). First to come out were the…

Cotogna
This was the only reservation I made in advance of Trisha and Lili coming out because I really wanted to eat here since it was sweet corn season. We all ordered individually, but food was all served family style which worked out great since we all tried everything anyway. For starters we had the Gazpacho,…

Dragon Beaux
First meal out with Lili and Trisha visiting. Had to go get dim sum. Lili ate here back in 2024 when she and Bella visited, but Trisha hadn’t yet eaten here so we had to go. Cucumber salad was nicely flavored and nice to have something cool and crisp. The fried pork belly was disappointing…

Bonita
There’s been a lot of turnover at this location in our neighborhood – was Tacolicious previously which I though was fine. So I had to give this new restaurant a try. I went with a couple tacos, carne asada and pastorcito, and a couple sides, esquites and slaw, to make it a “meal”. Solid and…

Lazy Bear
A few pictures from Lazy Bear on Friday. Third time eating here. First time was pre-pandemic and I can remember how bold it was of them to require pre-payment which is so normal now. Frist drink and bites were upstairs and then we were taken down to the communal tables where we were all served…

Caviar at Home
We didn’t really plan anything for Caviar Day, but we did want to give it a bit of recognition. Andrea picked up some Tsar Nicolai caviar at Whole Foods and some potato chips and we did a mini celebration.

Dalida
Steven invited me to lunch (and we had some work things to talk through). I threw him some options and he picked Dalida. The only other time I went here was almost 2 years ago, so I was glad to revisit. We ordered a la carte (there is a prix fixe lunch that looked pretty…
