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.

Frisson

First ever meeting of the Restaurant Club! This swanky Financial District restaurant/lounge was the perfect choice to kick of our new R. Club (ultimately, Frisson to close down). After hearing Dionne state that she didn't want a drink due to a supposed hangover from the night before, the truth came out that she was preggers (with Matty). We got a free bottle of wine from Gail's friend, JP. The atmosphere was better than the food here. Just the beginning of years of fun... 5/20/05

Opaque: Dining in the Dark

(Dionne's pick). Was quite a trip to dine int eh dark. We couldn't see anything, it was pitch black!! Was scary at first, then fun, then hilarious. The service SUCKED - it was the waiter's first day. And he told us to be quieter because I guess someone was complaining. Food was not even that good, except for the first course of tuna tartare. Very overpriced ($99 pp), plus then booze (stemless glasses). Kind of a rip. 4/25/09.
