Gitane: March 4, 2011

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.

Garcon: A French dining experience

Voila: Garcon was this months' pick. French food is always a lovely treat. This was a cool restaurant in the Mission District. I can't recall whose pick this was!  Can't recall any exciting news either, because I've fallen WAY behind on posting!! Mal mal!  (I think this was Dionne's pick)

La Urbana

La Urbana on Divisadero. Dionne's pick! This was a hip take on Mexian-ish food. "Modern Mexican Cuisine" they call it! I can't really remember how well we liked it since I got behind on my posts.  I'm sure we had margaritas! This was the first R. Club after little Stella's birth. This gathering was a toast to her, and Julia and Steph's January birthdays!  Here's little Stella! Jan. 26, 2014.

Nyum Bai - The Husbands Edition

 For the first time in 15 years....the husbands finally got to join us for Restaurant Club!!! The 8 of us had dinner at Nyum Bai, Cambodian restaurant. And it was a cheat, since Julia and Jarrod had been there many, many times before. We sat outside in the patio and had such a great time. Maybe in another 15 years they can join us again :)  Until next time, friends!
