Marlowe

Marlowe - Nov. 5, 2010. Dionne's Pick.

Marlowe - not only one of my favorite girl names, but now one of my favorite Cal Cuisine restaurants. We've actual been at this locale before - when it was South. The space has a similar feel, with white-washed brick and reclaimed wood tables, but the food was far superior to South's. The menu was pretty short, but the options were really good. The hamburger was perfection - with bacon, cheddar and apparently, had a bit of lamb mixed in. I'm going back for that, because I had the tender, juicy, lovely pork chops. My favorite item is pictured to the right - brussel sprout chips! OMG. To die for. So so so so good. I had to order a second batch. Dessert was kind of boozy, but delicious - a whoopie pumpkin creamy mix in a Mason jar, and a heavy-on-the-espresso vanilla panna cotta. Delish!!!

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
