    Caviar Day with The Caviar Co.

    The Caviar Co. had an event here for National caviar day (actually on Monday). They were tasting their full range of caviars…on blinis, potato chips, oysters, deviled eggs, and even ice cream. Of course our favorite way to taste the caviar was just as bumps of which we had many. The siberian sturgeon was the…

    Ritual dinner with Diego Guerrero

    Another Ritual dinner, this time with Diego Guerrero, a 2-Michelin star chef from Spain at a venue in Cow Hollow. It’s late so I won’t go into great detail, but the chef did an amazing job extracting flavor from the ingredients. The vegetarian chorizo was so amazing and flavorful that you would have never guessed…

    We’re looking for an impromptu dinner with sushi. This was a place I was curious about based on all of the hype it received in the press V V, probably because one of founders was Geoffrey Lee from restaurant Juni (one Michelin star) and they were expanding on the handroll concept. This restaurant currently doesn’t…

    We’ve been meaning to eat here for years, but we were preoccupied eating at so many SF restaurants. But if you want to say you’ve eaten at all of the 3 Michelin star restaurants in the Bay Area, you’ll undoubtedly need to dine here. Menu is a chefs tasting menu, of course, and we did…

    Tonight’s dinner was at Ernest. They opened in the middle of the pandemic so I had missed hearing about them. Chef Brandon Rice is the chef/owner and formerly worked at Rich Table (this was the last restaurant we ate at right before pandemic lockdown in March 2020. They lost their Michelin star in the latest…

    Still one of our favorite restaurants in the city. We eat out most Thursdays and theoretically this was an early b-day meal for me. We usually eat early, but I did book this last minute so we had a 7:30 reservation. Service was definitely busy compared to our last time here in September for an…
