Nari
We were already in the Hotel Kabuki for Sake Day, I had planned for us to eat at Nari which is also in the hotel and also one of Andrea’s favorite restaurants. This was our 5th time here and we usually get the chef’s pick menu, but this time we decided to go a la

Sake Day 2025
We haven’t been to SakeDay for who knows how long (can’t confirm in my e-mails), back when it was originally held in Hotel Nikko downtown. When we first parked about an hour before the event, we could see the line was about 50ish people deep already. We didn’t have much interest in just standing in

Verjus
This was my third, Andrea’s second time dining here. Last time we were here, it was a wine maker dinner which was pretty mid in part because they essentially served all 20 of us banquet style, although the first time I ate here we had just ordered a la carte and it was fantastic which

Rossi’s Deli
I had an appointment to get my Covid vaccine in the Castro since they had the Moderna one, but I had a bit of time beforehand so I was looking for someplace quick to eat beforehand. After some quick searching online and Eater’s list of best places to eat in the Castro, picked this place

Sorrel
Dinner event hosted by one of our VARs at Sorrel. We attended this same event 2 years ago and had definitely enjoyed both the food, the discussion by the panel, and talking to our fellow diners at the event. This time though, Andrea was sick so I ended up going solo. My account manager, reminded

Copra
This was our fourth time here at Copra. We ate here when they first opened and our last visit was last year for a champagne maker dinner. This time we came for Onam Sadya. My understanding is that sadya is a celebratory lunch, typically vegetarian, from the Kerala region of India and onam is the

Firefly
We were lazy and didn’t want to get groceries and cook so I started looking for someplace to eat out. So we ended up going to Firefly since it’s close and we’ve generally enjoyed the food when we’ve gone. Andrea started with the Baby Lettuce Salad and I had the Grilled Daikon Radish which we

La Lucha Coffee
We wanted a little pick me up so we stopped in at this coffee shop on Sanchez St. Andrea’s been a few times, but it was my first time since I normally don’t go our for coffee. Andrea got a latte and I got a matcha latte with oat milk. Decent and very friendly workers.

Dumpling Kitchen – Noe Valley
We hadn’t got grocery shopping, so we decided to eat out for lunch. We hadn’t been to Dumpling Kitchen in awhile. We ordered the Pea Sprouts w/ Garlic (one of Andrea’s favorites), Steamed Soup Pork Dumplings (i.e. XLB. I suppose they “Americanized” their menu a bit), BBQ Beef Ribs (to try something different) and the

Verjus x Rajat Parr
We had a wine maker dinner at Verjus with Rajat Parr who was previously the somm for the Mina group but now has his own wineries (we had not heard of them before). I’ve been wanting to go here with Andrea ever since I went in January, since I know she’d enjoy the food here.
