We hardly ever go on rooftops for Restaurant Club! So Gai's pick was perfect for a summer evening. Though this evening was on the tail end of a Bay Area heat wave, it was still lovely out. Shelby's Rooftop is the 12th floor of a random Hilton Hotel across from Yerba Buena gardens! The food was very pretty, and quite tasty. Our two desserts had us stuffed (creme brulee pictured below). This was our only summer gathering!! Exciting times, though....Matt heading off to college, and the presidential election just months away. We found out ON this day that Biden had dropped out of the race and Kamala Harris was likely going to be the Democratic nominee. Wonder what will happen?! Terrifying (and exciting?). By the time we read this again, we will either be weeping or smiling. Lol.
Restaurant Club started in May 2005 with Julia, Gail, Dionne and Stephanie, who all take turns picking the restaurant of their choice. Three main rules: (1) the person choosing must pick a restaurant they've never been to; (2) ordering dessert is mandatory and (3) guests must be female. We're eating (and drinking) our way through San Francisco...
