Shelby's Rooftop - July 21, 2024

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.

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.
