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.

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

Rich Table (Feb 21, 2021)

NEWS FLASH:   HALLELUJAH!!!   RESTAURANT CLUB REVIVED AFTER ONE-YEAR COVID HIATUS. Praise the Lord! It had been over a year since the FOUR of us were able to dine together for Restaurant Club and coming together at Rich Table was like being awakened from the dead. Nothing like 12 months of sheltering at home to make you appreciate the beauty and thrill of our friendship. Everything was so delicious, that neither the SF police sirens, ambulances, or random passserbys could distract from this glorious meal.  From the cocktails, to the appetizers and mains, everything at Rich Table was so delicious (Dionne's pick!). Maybe it tasted extra great because we'd been so deprived of one another's company, or maybe this has always been a totally killer restaurant - either way, it made me hyper and so excited to be here! We'd all missed this sooooo much. We can only pray that it's all up from here for 2021! We had:T ONNARELLI pasta with sea urchin. Amazing! The fish was so ...

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
