West of Pecos



West of Pecos - Texas-style, ranch-theme, and southwestern-ish food at this cute spot on Valencia x 16th in the Mission. We were missing our fourth limb today, because Steph is ONE week from giving birth to her baby girl! We reminisced about how many kids have been born in our group since the start of Restaurant Club in May 2005!!!  It's crazy: Katya, Matthew, Nick, Izzy, and soon - baby Wiley. We agreed that R. Club shall continue so long as we are living and able :)

Food highlights: brussel sprouts (sounds bizarre, but this app was sweet, crispy, with some kind of delicious creamy sauce), and the lobster (or crab?) salsa thing was also pretty amazing. Green chile mac n cheese was mediocre. Gail and I ordered the artichoke filled with crab and shrimp for dinner. Very creative, and I thought, delicious. Not too heavy. Dionne had the big, juicy burger.

I loved the mousse we had for dessert because it was thicker than most.

Overall - great food, loud, but cute environment, and best of all, as usual: amazing company.

This was 12/7/13 - Gail's pick!

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

Besharam - February 25, 2024

Julia convinced Dionne to select Besharam after seeing an episode on Check, Please Bay Area. It did not disappoint!! Located in Dog Patch (previously, a non-existent neighborhood), the food was gorgeous and delicious. It featured Indian street food, but unlike I've ever had before.   Great celebration of January and February birthdays!!!

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.
