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

um.ma
We had to fortify ourselves before going doing a little Black Friday shopping at Stonestown Galleria. We were thinking Asian. We parked in the inner Sunset. San Tung was our initial choice, but it had a long line so we walked to um.ma for some Korean food. We started with the scallion pancake…good, but since

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

Bistro Ember
After having some wine and charcuterie next door with our neighbors Michael and Elizabeth, Andrea were just looking for someplace to eat in our neighborhood on this Friday evening. We rarely eat out on a Friday and often it’s elsewhere in the city. We started walking down to Dash which was completely packed and with

Bodega
Andrea went to work in the office downtown so we decided to have dinner downtown. I had read about this place in the usual blogs (i.e. The Infatuation, Eater, etc.) so we decided to give it a try. It’s located in the Tenderloin on the same block as Kin Khao. Cuisine here is a modern

Nari
This is our 4th time eating here, but it’s been about 15 months since we’ve eaten here and it’s one of Andrea’s favorites since we’re guaranteed to get a flavorfully delicious meal. We started with cocktails which is always a good way for us to start if they have a good cocktail program, which they

Four Kings
We’re back here at Four Kings after having just dined here for the first time a fortnight ago. We showed up right at 6pm when they opened. There was a line of less than 10 people waiting in the walk-in line and we were the only ones in the reservations line with several tables already

Hamburgers
Kristine and Charlotte were spending their last night at our place before they flew back to their respective homes. It had been a whirlwind and Charlotte had mentioned how she hadn’t had a burger at all on the trip, so I said we could make them at home, so that’s what we did! Mind you,

Spruce
Andrea was out of town so I’m home alone. So what’s an epicurean enthusiast to do…go out to brunch! We ate ere 5 years ago for dinner when it coincidentally happen to be white truffle season. It was 1-star restaurant back then, but they lost their star in the latest Michelin guide. I wasn’t really
