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

Lunette
We’ve been meaning to eat here ever since seeing it on thge Netflix show Chef’s Table Noodles (episode 4) which had a great story. Plus, we don’t often find Cambodian food. So after work (Andrea was in the office) we met up at the Ferry Building. The restaurant is very casual with only walk-in or

Andrea was working in the office, so we often look for an opportunity to eat out. We ended up picking Kiln since I’ve been interested in revisiting ever since we first (and last) ate here almost 2 years ago. Because we were doing this impromptu, Kiln didn’t have reservations open for the current day, so

Good Good Culture Club
We were down in the Mission for the first Mission Night Market. We had to figure out where to eat. Anything on Valencia Street where the market was happening was going to be a mess, so we were walking towards Delfina (which we’ve done take away many many times, but haven’t eaten in the restaurant
