Canela Bistro & Wine Bar

September 20, 2023.

There's a first time for everything...including Restaurant Club on a...gasp(!)...Thursday night! This really happened and we didn't turn into pumpkins. With Gail and Julia in the city for work, it seemed a perfect opportunity to hit the Castro for dinner! (Including a brief cameo by Gail's work friend).

Canela was small, cozy, and quite delicious. Lovely small plates of Spanish tapas rounded out the evening!

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.
