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!!!

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.
