I remember during the summer Royal Exchange was running a promotion – free cioppino dish. My first thoughts were, It’s a sports bar. How good can it possibly be? And the portion will probably be smaller than regular. I was completely wrong. They didn’t skimp at all with the portion, and it was packed with [...]

Affordable French restaurants are rare, but Restaurant Ducroix is one of them, and they do a pretty decent job. I went in for lunch and tried their entrees (no sandwiches or appetizers during this visit). I’d say that their moulles frites (mussels an fries) was the winner, serving up a packed bowl of mussels soaked [...]

Just had lunch at Wayfare Tavern for Anita’s birthday (Happy Birthday Anita!) and we all loved it. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the foie gras was, well, let’s just say the duck’s miserable life left four people happy. The steak and eggs was very comforting, the burger being one of the [...]

The first thing I thought after we finished lunching at 5a5 Steak Lounge was, that was a damn good burger! We all ordered our Kobe burgers medium, fearing that medium-rare would cause the patty to crumble, but when it came, it was red enough to be medium-rare but without it falling apart. It was nice [...]

There’s a new What’s Up Dog! in San Francisco, taking up a spot in the Archstone South Market apartment complex. It just opened on Tuesday, April 27. It has a lot of natural lighting from the glass walls and the skylight so it’s very bright inside, and very clean. They’re still working out any kinks [...]

Aqua has been running a “business lunch” promotion and recently extended the offer, giving me the opportunity to check it out. A two-course meal for $20.10. The meal is set and you can’t choose what you want. I don’t know if it changes daily but when I went, the starter was an asparagus salad, which [...]

We celebrated Andy’s birthday during lunchtime at Palio D’Asti. Another decent meal here. Their Pesce del Giorno (fish of the day) was halibut. It was on the dry side. Their Risotto del Giorno (risotto of the day) was pork. Not bad. Their Pizza Siciliana with Berkshire pork fennel sausage has always been our favorite of [...]

I had a great meal at Wexler’s, in celebration of my birthday. (Thanks Andy, Anita and Candy!) We kicked off with a “Bowl ‘o’ Red”, which is a Texas-style chili with short ribs. It’s not your average chili – it’s even better. We all got a sandwich, and nothing disappointed. The Fulton Valley chicken, the [...]

Andy, Candy and I wanted to get some cheap $2.50 spareribs over rice (排骨飯) at Dol Ho in Chinatown, but when we got there, it was closed. (Did it close down?) So we just went across the street instead to Y-Ben House Restaurant for some dim sum. It’s not the cleanest place, but as far [...]

Andy, Lina and I took the BART over to the Mission during work for a burrito. We went to El Farolito. I’d say it’s one of the best taquerias in the Mission. After that, we went to Mission Pie since Andy’s never been there. We got a slice of banana cream pie (my favorite!) and [...]
