Bar Crudo







This was my first visit to Bar Crudo, and was the first time for everyone elese at it's new location on Divis (x Grove). After getting warmed up with drinks at NOPA (former R. Club pick), we headed over to little Bar Crudo. It's a little restaurant with a big bust of flavor for raw fish. We mostly dined on raw fish (I'm reluctant to call it "sushi" because there's nothing Japanese about this restaurant, and rice is nowhere on the menu), but also got a taste of some of the hot dishes like monkfish. Our favorite raw bites were: butterfish, spicy tuna, and arctic char. The lobster salad and oysters were a big hit as well. It was perfect - not overly filling but divine on flavor. Excellent pick by Dionne. Only downside: their menu forced us to break our cardinal rule of desserts being mandatory - they offer no desserts. Alas, we were left full but not gorged to the gills (no pun intended). 11/20/09.

Contigo: Kitchen - Cava

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

Besharam - February 25, 2024

Julia convinced Dionne to select Besharam after seeing an episode on Check, Please Bay Area. It did not disappoint!! Located in Dog Patch (previously, a non-existent neighborhood), the food was gorgeous and delicious. It featured Indian street food, but unlike I've ever had before.   Great celebration of January and February birthdays!!!

La Urbana

La Urbana on Divisadero. Dionne's pick! This was a hip take on Mexian-ish food. "Modern Mexican Cuisine" they call it! I can't really remember how well we liked it since I got behind on my posts.  I'm sure we had margaritas! This was the first R. Club after little Stella's birth. This gathering was a toast to her, and Julia and Steph's January birthdays!  Here's little Stella! Jan. 26, 2014.
