Sons & Daughters
Random Wednesday dinner. I was downtown because I was at the Oktane conference at Moscone and Andrea happened to go into the office so we decided to eat downtown. We had been meaning to eat at the restaurant at the Taj Campton Hotel, but they were closed today. But we had wanted to revisit dining

Sorrel
This week’s dinner was at Sorrel in Presidio Heights area. We first ate here in June 2021 as one of the first restaurants when we started feeling comfortable eating out again after the pandemic. This time around, it was a vendor event (thank you CDW). We started with champagne and hors d’oeuvres outside and then

Bistro Ember
We decided to eat out today because the air quality is bad due to the wind patterns bringing smoke from the fires from northern california and oregon and we weren’t going to fire up the big green egg and add to the pollution. So we finally decided to try one of the newer restaurants in

Hina Yakitori
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

The Shota
It’s Wednesday and it’s a Spare-the-Air day due to the fires up north so we didn’t want to grill and it was unseasonably hot so we didn’t want to cook. Andrea wanted sushi so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in SF, The Shota. We first dined here in December

Penny Roma
We didn’t feel like cooking today, so we decided to try Penny Roma, at which we’ve been meaning to eat ever since they opened. Flour+Water has a pasta shop from which we had purchased a few pasta dinners since the pandemic, so we were familiar with many of the pasta dishes and Penny Roma is

Damansara
Last night’s dinner was another low key dinner in our neighborhood, this time at Damansara a Malaysian restaurant that opened up last October. We arrived at about 6:30 or so, but it was not very busy with maybe 2 tables seated. We started with some cocktails which were just ok. We ordered a bunch of

Memento SF
Thursday dinner we decided to low key in our ‘hood at Memento, a new (4 weeks or so) restaurant that we hadn’t yet tried. The restaurant had was darkly painted and the vibe was a bit more adult than most of the restaurants in our neighborhood (which is known for having a lot of kids

Noodle in a Haystack
This week’s dinner was at a small high end ramen restaurant that seats 10-12 people. This was the Spring Extended menu, so dishes change seasonally and the extended menu differs from the weeknight counter menu, but is largely the same as the Friday Sake Pairing Extended menu (which features a couple different dishes and exclusive

Birch & Rye
Andrea and I were feeling lazy for dinner today, so we decided to eat out in our neighborhood. There are 3 new restaurants that we still haven’t tried, but we decided to go to one of our tried and true restaurants, Birch & Rye, a restaurant with elevated Georgian/Russian cuisine. We started with a couple
