House of Prime Rib
We haven’t been here for a couple years so we were overdue to come try again. It’s such a San Francisco institution. I actually had a reservation because I had booked it almost a year ago (July 6 to be exact). Last time we were here, we just showed up at 4:30 to get on

Elena’s
It had been awhile since we had been here so I booked a reservation for Sunday noon. It was mostly full, but only one party waiting to get seated, so we probably could have walked in and there were plenty of seats at the bar. We were seated promptly after checking in and amusingly we

Wayfare Tavern
We were interested in going to Wayfare Tavern’s new location. I think it’s been over 20 years since I’ve eaten here (although Andrea had been more recently), so I really didn’t recall the food. We both did like the atmosphere more at the old location, but things move on. We both started with martinis, a

Akikos
My very good friend Chris was in town for the Databricks conference. Since he can’t eat red meat, I figured sushi was a good option (and a lot of restaurants are closed on Monday). Andrea and I had eaten here several times and most recently in December so it had always been a solid option

Yank Sing
This Saturday, I wanted to go on a longer run. I started off in Golden Gate Park and decided to take the Coastal Trail starting in Land’s End and head towards the bridge, then along Crissy Field, along the Embarcadero, and ultimately the Ferry Building – almost 16 miles in total (I took a small

The Anchovy Bar
We were looking for a relatively low-key dinner this Friday. We decided to eat here previously and enjoyed ourselves (it turns out we hadn’t eaten here since 2022 so it had been a lot longer than we had remembered). We made reservations for seating at the bar since that’s where we get to see all

Sam’s Anchor Cafe
It was going to be a beautiful day this Saturday so I always think about doing my favorite run to Tiburon. Of course, I’m not quite in shape to do the whole 20-mile distance starting from home so I had Andrea drop me off at the vista point (on the Marin side) for the GG

Californios
We were celebrating Andrea’s birthday at her favorite restaurant. This was our seventh time here, but surprisingly we hadn’t been here in a year…when we were celebrating her b-day last year! We both ordered cocktails, which didn’t arrive until our 4th course/bite. Andrea had the Californios Martini and I had the Cantarito. The martini was

Katsuya
Heard about the chicken katsu here and since it’s one of the few times I’m downtown, Andrea and I went here for lunch. Andrea had the Chicken Katsu Curry Rice and I had the Chicken Katsu Sando Meal. The katsu itself was fine, but in general everything else kinda mediocre. Andrea thought the curry was

Saru
Just an impromptu lunch after doing the Noe Valley Garden Tour. We had the Spicy Cracker to start and the 12-piece nigiri omakase. Satisfying lunch. https://sarusushisf.com
