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…

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…

District Table & Bar
After the Lily’s Baccalaureate, we went to District Table & Bar for dinner. Andrea and I each ordered their Harlot’s Martini which is a dirty martini made with Dolin vermouth, goat cheese stuffed olives, lemon oil. Andrea had hers made with vodka (Ketel One) and mine was made with Tanqueray gin. Pretty tasty. The goat…

Billingsgate
Just a quick lunch after my Saturday run (trying to get back into shape, so only up to 5 miles at this point). We usually purchase our seafood here, but they also make some cold dishes and was a good option to get something healthy and fresh. I started with the Wild Scallops Ceviche and…
