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.

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.
