4 Chicks & A Restaurant

Noe Valley hotspot. Delicious tapas and cava. We favored the rose cava. We met for an early dinner since Contigo didn't take reservations. Despite the few stuffed shirts and babies (along with baby strollers, trikes), we managed to have yet another fabulous Restaurant Club. Favorites included patatas bravas, 2 kinds of flatbreads, mushroom stuffed calamari, gorgeous tomato salad, chorizo burger, scrumptious goat cheese and cured jambon, and for dessert: churros in chocolate sauce and Blue Bottle Coffee Icecream! Mmmm..... (oh, this was Gail's pick). Everyone present.9/18/09

This one - SUCH the scene. On Mission x 1st. Very trendy, chic, after-work crowd. Food was really good, ran into a few people we knew. Definitely very very trendy. 7/24/09

Conduit - fairly new restaurant in the Mission. Large open restaurant with big windows, good scene. Very tasty food. Everyone present. Loved the dessert. On Mission x 14th. Steph's pick. 6/12/09

(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.

First time out in the Presidio in a while. Very cabin-in-the-woods feel with a touch of yuppy. Good, solid food. 3/13/09. Everyone present. Gail's pick.

I looooooved Dosa's. Not your typical Indian restaurant. We went to the one on Filmore. Each of the Dosas was heavenly. Huge, open restaurant. So delicious. And best coffee ever. Leila was our guest. Julia's pick.

Steph's Pick. Everyone present. Was pretty good. Ocean life decor. 9/5/08
