Picco

Picco

So here is what this delightful Saturday looked like for me: Woke up leisurely in the city, played golf with the in-laws in Marin, took a 2 hour nap, and then went to Restaurant Picco in Larkspur for dinner – needless to say I could get used to that routine.

Bottega Ristorante

Bottega Ristorante

To celebrate my wonderful wife’s 28th birthday (who happens to be the sister of fellow atableortwo contributor @AmyP) we, accompanied by a few friends and family, went up to Napa Valley for the weekend to try a few of our favorite vintages…

EOS

–> Setting: Last Thursday turned into a night of firsts for me – after 3 years in the city I was finally attempting the Muni train, making a long awaited trip to the quaint neighborhood of Cole Valley, and the most exciting, meeting up with my aunt and uncle for…

Clean Eating

Clean Eating

Contrary to popular belief (including my own at one point) it is in fact possible to enjoy both clean, healthy food and do so while eating out in SF (moment of silence for you to take that in…)

Jackson Fillmore Trattoria

Though Jackson Fillmore offers very little in terms of ambiance – bare tables, no art (if there is art, nothing to remember) and a bright blue neon “open” sign, it somehow comes across as warm and cozy. Moreover, it does not matter, the food that is served is authentic…

Tadich Grill

Tadich Grill

It comes with a heritage that isn’t forgotten in a city like San Francisco. It is literally “The Oldest Restaurant” in the city while also anything but a “has-been”. I have been going to Tadich Grill for the last eight years in a row with five of my oldest friends…

Rotisserie & Wine

Rotisserie & Wine

Tyler Florence’s latest project, Rotisserie & Wine, is tucked into the new downtown River Walk development on the Napa River. While a smaller dining room space than anticipated, the restaurants style and vibe was much livelier than anything I would expect in Napa. My first impression was of the staff – excited to be there, all wearing jeans + flannel…

Prospect

Prospect

Tuesday night reservation for two with a pit stop at the Epic Roasthouse upstairs bar for a glass of wine before hand. Only a few blocks away from Prospect, Epic was a great place to help transition from desk to dinner table and with an hour to waste it gave us a chance to catch up…
