Bushi-Tei


In the heart of Japantown sits Bushi-Tei. Surrounded by Japanese anime shops, hotels, sushi and karaoke bars, and the Japanese mini-mall, this restaurant is elegant and pretty, featuring Japanese-French cuisine. The meal started off with appetizers of lobster-crab salad, tuna tartare, and langustino frito (fried little balls of yum). Gail and I each had seared tuna on a bed of risotto with rock shrimp and curry sauce, and found it scrumptious. Dionne liked her Duck, and Stephanie gave a semi- thumbs down to her scallops :( The service was ...eh. But we enjoyed a nice bottle of Mondavi Reserve Cab (thanks, Jarrod!). Oh, and the desserts were a huge hit.

Julia's pick: April 23, 2010

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

Rich Table (Feb 21, 2021)

NEWS FLASH:   HALLELUJAH!!!   RESTAURANT CLUB REVIVED AFTER ONE-YEAR COVID HIATUS. Praise the Lord! It had been over a year since the FOUR of us were able to dine together for Restaurant Club and coming together at Rich Table was like being awakened from the dead. Nothing like 12 months of sheltering at home to make you appreciate the beauty and thrill of our friendship. Everything was so delicious, that neither the SF police sirens, ambulances, or random passserbys could distract from this glorious meal.  From the cocktails, to the appetizers and mains, everything at Rich Table was so delicious (Dionne's pick!). Maybe it tasted extra great because we'd been so deprived of one another's company, or maybe this has always been a totally killer restaurant - either way, it made me hyper and so excited to be here! We'd all missed this sooooo much. We can only pray that it's all up from here for 2021! We had:T ONNARELLI pasta with sea urchin. Amazing! The fish was so ...

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
