Liholiho Yach Club - No, we didn't set sail this evening. Instead, we dined at the Hawaiian-inspired restaurant in the Tendernob. This was Dionne's pick and only a month after our last Restaurant Club so we could include Noah in our festivities before the start of college! This was the first time one of our kids joined us for R Club in all these years!! To start, they had creative cocktails with fun names like Tiger Uppercut, the Love Boat, and Blind Date! The cocktails were so yummy - mine was made with japanese almond milk (pictured below, looking like a glass of milk!). We started with house-made chips and a whitefish and orange caviar dip that was addictive! Then we had so many fun appetizers - sashimi, grilled shrimp, and a really funky rice noodle. The mains were so unique and delicious, with my favorite being the katsu swordfish. But the black cod and wagyu mains were also outstanding. The wagyu was sliced and paired with thinly-sliced potatoes and onions. This was No...
7 Adams --- This was probably our first prix-fixe dining experience for Restaurant Club! This was quite lovely to dine at 7 Adams (Gail's pick!). I think my favorite was the pasta. Overall, I liked it.... I didn't love it. I think we've had better food elsewhere, even though this place is Michelin-starred. It's a very cute place in the Fillmore, named after the chef's home address. The most memorable discussion of this evening was hearing about how Matthew survived 6 weeks in Senegal, sustaining himself on mush and no toilet paper! What an amazing kid! Steph told us about her glamping weekend, I recently returned from Vancouver, and Gail had been to South Carolina. In sum: we are so fortunate to have mild summers in CA! Can't imagine living anywhere else.
