Prairie

Holiday Restaurant Club and the last one of this decade!!!! Prairie (Stephanie's choice) was a great sign-off for 2019!

In the heart of the Mission, Prairie is a very cute restaurant with exceptional food. We ate roasted octopus, uni butter with soft bread, lobster pasta, chili-flaked cauliflower, "birthday" cake (with a candle!), decadent pudding, and lots of cocktails wine and even spiked eggnog (Julia).

This was such a special R. Club, as we went around the table reminiscing on the highs and lows of the decade and the year. The overwhelming consensus was that friendships are as important as any other relationship in our lives. Spending time with friends - knowing they're there through thick and thin -- makes for a far more fulfilling life. As we get older and our kids become less dependent on us, our friendships will remain the constant that can fill our hearts and time. We are so fortunate to have Restaurant Club thriving after 15 years!!! We've been through literally every life event together. In the last decade, we've seen marriages, babies, lost loved ones, roughed out the ups and downs of marriage, jobs, and yet the constant, through all of it, was our friendship. Yes, as Dionne said, cliche but true: "Blessed!"

Signing off 2019 with xoxoxoxo!

Garcon: A French dining experience

Voila: Garcon was this months' pick. French food is always a lovely treat. This was a cool restaurant in the Mission District. I can't recall whose pick this was!  Can't recall any exciting news either, because I've fallen WAY behind on posting!! Mal mal!  (I think this was Dionne's pick)

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.

Nyum Bai - The Husbands Edition

 For the first time in 15 years....the husbands finally got to join us for Restaurant Club!!! The 8 of us had dinner at Nyum Bai, Cambodian restaurant. And it was a cheat, since Julia and Jarrod had been there many, many times before. We sat outside in the patio and had such a great time. Maybe in another 15 years they can join us again :)  Until next time, friends!
