Noka Ramen (Oakland)

Jack London Square's restaurant scene is constantly changing, but the addition of Noka Ramen was incredible! This was Julia's pick on a rainy Sunday evening. I wish we had just cut to the ramen, even though the appetizers were also really delicious. We had crispy brussel sprouts, shishito peppers and truffle fries with the most divine dipping sauce.

The spicy ground pork ramen, though, was the highlight. It was soooo good, but we were so full that this was probably the FIRST restaurant club ever that we took home leftovers. And ramen the next day did not disappoint!

Oh, and per annual tradition, we had White Russians at Forge prior to dinner. Salut!

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!
