ALX Gastropub This fun spot in SOMA was Stephanie's pick! This spot on Folsom has high ceilings and is a bit factory-like. For the massive space, it wasn't very crowded, which is too bad. The menu was pretty much American fare, but was tasty (not cheap!). It was a nice fall restaurant club spot! This is Julia right before she parked --- after parking on Folsom Street across the street from the restaurant, several guys walked up to my car and tried to open the doors to my car! They thought I was their Uber driver!! Only in this day and age and in SF did it not even phase me -- I was like: I'm parking! Lol.
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...
