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…

Ken
This week we weren’t able to eat on Thursday since Andrea had a filing deadline and was working crazy hours, so i booked this for Sunday. I saw an article a few days ago in The Infatuation and saw that we had eaten at most of the restaurants on the list, so of course I…

The Shota
It’s Wednesday and it’s a Spare-the-Air day due to the fires up north so we didn’t want to grill and it was unseasonably hot so we didn’t want to cook. Andrea wanted sushi so we decided to go to one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in SF, The Shota. We first dined here in December…

Akikos
This week’s dinner was at Akiko’s, which recently moved into their new location on Folsom St. as of January 10. As we entered, there was a very nice cocktail bar at reception. Had we known, we would have come earlier to enjoy although since it was right by the door, it was a bit rough…

Sushi Tadokoro
Tonight’s dinner was at Sushi Tadokoro. It’s located in Old Town in a small strip mall next door to a liquor store. You almost wouldn’t even notice the restaurant front since it only had minimal signage. We had an early seating for the omakase dinner at the sushi bar. Sushi Tadokoro received their Michelin star…

Kusakabe
This week’s dinner was at Kusakabe. This place was recommended by the woman we were seated next to at the last Ritual dinner so we decided to give it a try. It’s right across the street from the Transamerica building. It’s a Japanese kaiseki style restaurant so we were very interested to see how they…
