Izakaya Rintaro
This was our third time dining here, but it had been more than about 2.5 years since we had last eaten here. We sat at the counter again in the exact same spot. Out of simplicity/laziness, we just did the set menu again. First dish delivered was the San Ten Mori sashimi course which included

MKT Restaurant & Bar at the Four Seasons
This was our last chance to see Kristine before she flew back. We’re glad she recovered enough from being sick for the previous couple days. Andrea had the La Misión, I had the Chartreuse (green) served neat, and I think Kristine had the Old Dock of the Bay. I don’t try anybody else’s drink other

Dragon Beaux
Kristine arrived this and I figured she hungry and want something good to eat. Dim sum is always an easy choice and we’ve been favoring Dragon Beaux as of late. It was packed and plenty of people waiting to get. Even with a reservation we had to wait 10-15 minutes. We ordered the Five Guys

This was a bit of a random Wednesday night to eat out. Picked this place since it was reasonably priced and we had enjoyed eating here when they first opened in 2023 as well as the chefs’ previous restaurant Marlena.

Cookie Koded popup
There was a small crowd out in front of Perfectly Seasoned, so I was curious what it was all about. Turns out there was a pop-up for Cookie Koded which I knew nothing about or ever heard of. I was interested in that they mentioned being less sweet than typical cookies and they had a

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

Wolfsbane
This is the new restaurant from the husband and wife team previously at Lord Stanley. I didn’t want to try them at their very first week so I waited all the way until their second week to book this reservation (I know, I am so virtuous with patience, haha). We had only eaten once at

Cotogna
Jacob scheduled a dinner meeting with a vendor. Even though Dreamforce is going on, he was able to get us table since his cousin works at Quince. We ordered a bunch of starters to share – the Heirloom Tomato Caprese, Squid, Cranberry Bean & Calabrian Chili, Bluefin Tuna Crudo as well as a Porcini Mushroom

Protégé
Another vendor dinner this week. I bummed an Uber ride with Steven so it was great to catch up. I don’t come down to Palo Alto often for dinner (last time was an event at Nobu). The vendor had rented out the whole restaurant for the event, so that was nice. From what I remember
