Gitane was a lovely Mediterranean/French/African (?) cuisine. My ribs were up there with the best I've had - sticky sweet, and a large portion. Bacon bonbons were also pretty damn good. For dessert, beignets with "naughty cream" were definitely naughty good. This was Julia's pick - and the first to start off 2011. I loved the chandeliers and decore at this Union Square spot. This starts off year SIX of Restaurant Club!!! All 4 original members still hanging in there. Now, Gail is married & pregnant (due in June). Steph is in a serious relationship with Clay. xo.
Restaurant Club started in May 2005 with Julia, Gail, Dionne and Stephanie, who all take turns picking the restaurant of their choice. Three main rules: (1) the person choosing must pick a restaurant they've never been to; (2) ordering dessert is mandatory and (3) guests must be female. We're eating (and drinking) our way through San Francisco...
