Baker Street Bistro - an oldy, but goody in San Francisco's Marina/Presidio area (around since 1991; ancient by SF standards!) We couldn't believe NONE of us have been to this lovely French restaurant. We were all together again - yay! Life is moving forward...6 kids among all of us, with Nicholas turning 3 this weekend. Crazy! BSB was a true homage to French cuisine. From the perfectly sculpted fries (which came as part of the moules frites) to the buttery escargot, this was a decadent retreat from the overly-hip, often-pretentious san francisco dining scene. The spot was teeny tiny but the food was not. I got the idea to come here after drooling through its 10 minutes of fame on Check, Please! It lived up to its reviews. The desserts were extremely decadent - rich mousse, nice creme broule, and the best (in my opinion) was the balsamic strawberries with pepper and vanilla ice cream. YUM. xoxoxo. June 27, 2014.
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...
