A16
Dinner with our new friends from Germany who we’re hosting for a few days. We had an excess of food as usual at A16 which is someplace I’ve been meaning to try for a long time.Solid, traditional Italian cuisine. We were seated in the small back patio area. Some Italians dining back there and our…

Petit Crenn
This week’s dinner was at Petit Crenn. We’ve eaten at Atelier Crenn and Bar Crenn on various occasions over the years, but never made it to Petit Crenn. They were closed for the pandemic and only recently re-opened for a few months before the close permanently in September, so we had to try them out.…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I wasn’t jam packed with meetings today so we both had a little extra window to grab some lunch. I recommended we try out Elena’s in West Portal since they opened up in February. There’s a lot of buzz around this restaurant since it’s opening. It’s owned by the same couple (Elena and John) behind…

The Rotunda
We’re downtown today so we grabbed lunch at The Rotunda, my first time here. Andrea had the corn velouté and I had the lobster bisque. Both were quite large (we could have split one) and the bisque was heavy due to ask the cream ( it could have done with more lobster meat) but tasty…

Mijote
This week’s dinner was at Mijote, a French bistro in the Mission. They have a low-key 4 course prix fixe menu (modestly priced at $82 each) with the options for add ons. They feature natural wines by the glass or bottle. We had seats at the counter (there is also table seating). In addition to…

Zuni Cafe
We were feeling too lazy to make diver after our hike(for Andrea)/run(for me) in Tilden, but I found a last minute reservation at Zuni Cafe which I don’t think we’ve eaten at for over ten years. It fit the bill of being relatively my low key and close. We started with some cocktails of course.…

Quince
This week’s dinner was at Quince which was a favorite of ours. I think this was our 5th or 6th time here, but it’s been 2 years since we’ve been back and the first time since they renovated. The renovations took pretty much the whole year last year. The space is much more open and…

Californios
It was Andrea’s birthday so I booked dinner at her favorite restaurant Californios. This is our 5th timing dining here and it 4th time since 2022 (first time we ate at their previous location when they were still in the Mission). We last ate here in November, before it trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca,…

Hed11
Trying a new restaurant that I read about in Eater. They just opened up less than 2 weeks ago. Restaurant is in Japantown at the Kimpton hotel. Chef had previous experience at Michelin star restaurants so we were very interested in a high end Thai dining experience. The only option for the menu is the…

Dalida
For tonight’s dinner, we went to Dalida. We’ve been meaning to eat here for a few months, but I’ve had to keep pushing out the reservation, but we finally made it. Chef Laura is also in the current season of Top Chef, although we haven’t yet watched the latest episode (the infamous restaurant wars), so…
