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.

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.
