Baker Street Bistro

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.

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.
