Mathilde French Bistro

We got managed to squeeze in ONE winter/fall quarantine, covid-era Restaurant Club. That was in October 2020 where we ate outdoors in a lovely little french restaurant. Just Julia, Gail and Dionne attended and this was Gail's pick, I think. We've totally lost track since Covid blew up our restaurant club schedule (and everything else in life).

The food was divine, and not just because it was so glorious to eat out and be served by someone else and no dish-washing was involved! Also, because Mathilde is absolutely divine -- as pictured below, the gourmet French food was straight out of Paris. From the escargot to the chocolate mousse, we devoured it all. Ah.....other than missing Stephanie, it was a taste of the old life (well, sort of, masks on, outdoors, empty streets).

When will Restaurant Club reconvene? Gee....ask Governor Newsom. Or Mayor Breed. Nobody fucking knows but a better question is what will be left standing when we crawl our way out of this Covid hellhole.

Kisses.

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.
