A16
Dinner with our new friends from Germany who we’re hosting for a few days. We had an excess of food as usual at A16 which is someplace I’ve been meaning to try for a long time.Solid, traditional Italian cuisine. We were seated in the small back patio area. Some Italians dining back there and our…

Petit Crenn
This week’s dinner was at Petit Crenn. We’ve eaten at Atelier Crenn and Bar Crenn on various occasions over the years, but never made it to Petit Crenn. They were closed for the pandemic and only recently re-opened for a few months before the close permanently in September, so we had to try them out.…

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
I wasn’t jam packed with meetings today so we both had a little extra window to grab some lunch. I recommended we try out Elena’s in West Portal since they opened up in February. There’s a lot of buzz around this restaurant since it’s opening. It’s owned by the same couple (Elena and John) behind…

Sushi Yoshizumi
This week’s dinner was on a Saturday, which is fairly rare for us (we always try to avoid the weekend reservations) and even more rare because it was for the second seating which started at 8:15PM, which is late for us old folks. It was also in San Mateo (Bryan did you ever eat here…

The Rotunda
We’re downtown today so we grabbed lunch at The Rotunda, my first time here. Andrea had the corn velouté and I had the lobster bisque. Both were quite large (we could have split one) and the bisque was heavy due to ask the cream ( it could have done with more lobster meat) but tasty…

Mijote
This week’s dinner was at Mijote, a French bistro in the Mission. They have a low-key 4 course prix fixe menu (modestly priced at $82 each) with the options for add ons. They feature natural wines by the glass or bottle. We had seats at the counter (there is also table seating). In addition to…

Zuni Cafe
We were feeling too lazy to make diver after our hike(for Andrea)/run(for me) in Tilden, but I found a last minute reservation at Zuni Cafe which I don’t think we’ve eaten at for over ten years. It fit the bill of being relatively my low key and close. We started with some cocktails of course.…

Quince
This week’s dinner was at Quince which was a favorite of ours. I think this was our 5th or 6th time here, but it’s been 2 years since we’ve been back and the first time since they renovated. The renovations took pretty much the whole year last year. The space is much more open and…

Madcap
We were supposed to do a low key dinner this week because we had Andrea’s dinner last week and mine next week, but she was supposed to be in San Raphael this afternoon and I’ve been having to eat at this restaurant in San Anselmo. Of course, her appointment needed to be rescheduled and we…

Sam’s Anchor Cafe
It wa such a beautiful day here – sunny, not too warm hot and a bit if a breeze. Andrea dropped me off at Crissey Field and I ran to meet her in Tiburon. We had lunch at Sam’s which is always a fun scene. We had some drinks, some oysters, crab cake, a burrata…
