Havana (Walnut Creek)

 Restaurant Club makes its first appearance in Walnut Creek!!! We went to this Peruvian restaurant - chosen by Gail -- right in the heart of the shopping district. We sat outside and enjoyed fruity cocktails, vino, Yucca chips, croquettes, scallops, empanadas, kale salad (yum!), and lamb chops. Half the items were pretty good. The dessert was off and I think for the first time ever, we didn't finish (churros were ok; the tres leches was no bueno).  But anyway, it was great to get together on a warm Sunday evening. Life is plugging along. Gail is in the midst of home construction, Dionne is forever waiting for permits to start her construction, Steph's kids are getting older and she's lost about 45 pounds (!!!) and looks amazing. Julia is raising teens and this current generation's preferences dominated this conversation. Fun stuff.

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!
