Morella - September 21, 2025

 Morella in SF's Marina District was Stephanie's choice for Sunday, September 21, 2025. We've certainly dined at this location before - many restaurants have occupied this space! The vibe was very midcentury modern, with plush seats, everything in a blush pink color, and a generally swanky vibe.

The food - a combination of Italian and Argentinian cuisines - was actually very good! We had lobster empanadas and really delicious ravioli. The service was excellent.

Was so great to catch up as the summer was winding down. Gail is still in knee-hell recovery (praying fo 100%), Dionne recently sent Matt back off to college, Julia was back from Peru and DC, and Stephanie has her hands full with soccer, softball (?), academics, singing, and the countless other activities her girls are up to these days. The positive news is that it seems all the kids are really flourishing. Everyone seems to have found a wonderful groove.

Adults, on the other hand, are trying not to lose their minds on a nearly daily basis with every news report. Year #1 of Trump 2.0 is trying on every single person who believes in a democratic U.S. 

Love these gals and here we are celebrating YEAR 20 of Restaurant Club! That's something to smile about :)

Meatballs were delicious!!!



After DC, I was really craving an espresso Martini.




Dessert, of course!

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!
