Noe Valley hotspot. Delicious tapas and cava. We favored the rose cava. We met for an early dinner since Contigo didn't take reservations. Despite the few stuffed shirts and babies (along with baby strollers, trikes), we managed to have yet another fabulous Restaurant Club. Favorites included patatas bravas, 2 kinds of flatbreads, mushroom stuffed calamari, gorgeous tomato salad, chorizo burger, scrumptious goat cheese and cured jambon, and for dessert: churros in chocolate sauce and Blue Bottle Coffee Icecream! Mmmm..... (oh, this was Gail's pick). Everyone present.9/18/09
Can we talk about the snotty passive agressive couple next to us? I freely acknowledge that I often have no concept of my own volume. Blame it on the Italian (or the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol) in me -- it's how we roll. But in a bustling, full restaurant on a Friday night in San Francisco, I don't expect to be "shooshed." Actually, I'd rather be shooshed than have some guy putting his fingers in his ears and making faces at his equally uptight qirlfriend instead of just being direct and asking us to pipe down. And what's with continuing to cover your ears even after we lowered our voices? I have a suggestion for you big guy -- how about you take your next meal at the early bird special at your grandma's retirement home?
