Four Kings
I had been trying for many weeks to get a reservation at this new-ish restaurant located in Chinatown just around the corner from R&G Lounge and staffed by some former chefs from Mister Jiu’s. The restaurant only take reservations a few weeks in advance and every time I checked for reservations, there were only available…

Firefly
We were looking for a low key option for dinner without any advanced planning. It’s funny that because this restaurant is so close we often don’t think of it as our first option to eat at. We figure in the 20+ years we’ve lived in our house, we’ve probably walked by this restaurant a couple…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I had booked this reservation 3 months ago and because this restaurant was so popular, this was the soonest I was able to book for a weekend brunch. Of course, we had since come here as walk-ins, once for lunch during the work week and once for dinner. Since we had the reservation, we decided…

Dandelion Chocolate
Since we were already on Valencia, Andrea wanted to stop by Dandelion to get a cookie. I wasn’t planning to get anything because I was already full, but then I saw that they had a chocolate canele and then I saw they had a little mini dessert tasting menu that also included a mini canele,…

Dancing Yak
We were running errands today and I suggested we try this Nepalese restaurant that I’ve been meaning to try for awhile (I say that a lot don’t I?), esp. since we’ve walked and driven by many dozens of times. We have had Nepalese food since the Nepalese restaurant in our neighborhood closed years ago and…

Saison
This my 4th time dining here (2016, 2021, 2022) and Andrea’s second or third time. The last time we ate here was 2.5 years ago. Since that was before Chef Richard Lee became executive chef at Saison, this would be our first time dining here with his menu. We had an early seating as us…

Aziza
Just a quick review…On Saturday, we went to the last Richmond Night Market of the year. We went late afternoon and it wasn’t so busy yet, but was nice to see our city feeling so alive. We just did a walk through and then decided to grab some dinner somewhere local. Andrea picked Aziza since…

Cotogna
Third night in a row eating out this week. This time we were revisiting Cotogna which we last visited here back in July. We had such a great meal last time we were very much looking forward to this meal. Menu had changed a fair amount since July which was nice since we could try…

HK Lounge Bistro
We were at a cocktail event at the Cat Club (the 20th anniversary for Tales From the Kitty, the group we use for cat-sitting) and wanted to grab dinner. Fortunately, the HK Lounge Bistro was just a block away. We first ate here last October for Sunday brunch with our neighbors Michael and Elizabeth. It…

Fiorella
I’ve been dealing with the flu and pneumonia for the last couple weeks so we’ve been laying low, but I was finally up for going out again. We decided to go very low key and just eat at the newest restaurant in our neighborhood, Fiorella, the 4th location of this restaurant in SF and occupying…
