Billingsgate
Andrea, Trisha, and I had a quick lunch here at Billingsgate after running some errands. I decided to try the clam chowder and the hamachi crudo which I haven’t had for awhile. We also had oysters, this time Miyagi and Kusshi. I forgot to take a picture of my Spanish toasts. Both Andrea and Trisha

Billingsgate
This is always a nice fresh, healthy-ish meal. Andrea ordered what she always gets, the Dungeness Crab with greens (other option was brioche). I also ordered what I always get, the Spanish toasts, but I also ordered the Wild Scallop Ceviche. Scallops came out first. They were decent, fresh and some nice acid from the

Billingsgate
We just wanted something quick and tasty for lunch and Billingsgate is always an easy option for us. We always seem to get the same thing because it is always so good. We get oysters – 6 Kusshi and since Standish Shores. Andrea gets the dungeness crab and I get both the Spanish toasts and

Batea
We had done some shopping on Pg. de Gràcia and before we headed back to our AirBnB, I scouted out a some lunch options that were close by. We dropped into Batea without a reservation and fortunately there were only a few tables seated. Batea specializes in seafood, so that’s what we ordered. Trisha is

Ale & Compass Restaurant
Since I was in Orlando for the conference, I coincidentally had 2 coworkers who lived in Orlando and were willing to come out for lunch. I asked to eat somewhere within walking distance of the conference (it was at Disney properties) and Kevin (who I never previously met in person) picked this place in the

Bazaar Mar by José Andrés
This was our first meal together which I booked early evening the day we all arrived here in Vegas. The restaurant is located in a bougie shopping mall (we did see Lisa Vanderpump and her husband walking their perfectly groomed Pomeranian around the mall) adjacent to the Aria Hotel. We had an early seating right

Steamers of Naples
We were just grabbing a quick lunch. We ordered some fired clam strips to start. I had the lobster roll with my sides being slaw and french fries/onion rings combo. Lobster wasn’t dressed in any way and it was a fairly small lobster roll. It did come with a side of clarified butter which I

Angler
Andrea hadn’t been interested in revisiting Angler so when Steven invited me for dinner, we decided to go since neither of us had been for awhile. The cocktails were very enjoyable. We mainly had them mezcal versions of other cocktails (e.g. penicillin, last word, negroni). There are some items off menu that you can ask

Tadich Grill
Work lunch meeting with Peter and team from one of our vendors. I gave him a few suggestions on restaurants and we picked Tadich Grill which is the oldest restaurant in California at 176 years old! I haven’t eaten here since I moved to SF in the 90s and no one else at our lunch

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
