Ahh yes, Frances…located in the Castro, this restaurant has been one of the most popular (and difficult to reserve) in San Francisco for the last five years and no wonder, the place is tiny! Continue reading

Review: Liholiho Yacht Club.
One of the most anticipated restaurants this year has been Liholiho Yacht Club, a Hawaiian/Asian inspired restaurant, from the same owners as Nopa and Nopalito (read my review here) in San Francisco. Continue reading
Review: Tigerlily.
Tigerlily, located in the Gourmet Ghetto area of Berkeley, just opened up 10 weeks ago! This casual funky restaurant serves up Californian cuisine but with an Indian twist. Very alluring. Continue reading
Review: Californios.
The Mission District in San Francisco is easily becoming the new hot spot for restaurants. Some of the city’s favorite restaurants are located there such as Foreign Cinema, Lazy Bear, Delfina, and Bar Tartine, just to name a few. So when I heard about a newly opened innovative Californian/Mexican inspired restaurant, I was more than intrigued. Continue reading
Review: Redd.
The adorable city of Yountville, California is the home to one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the world, chef Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry, as well as numerous other delicious restaurants. Last week I had a fantastic lunch at Bouchon (read my review here), the casual French inspired bistro also owned by chef Thomas Keller. Another fantastic restaurant in this quaint town is Redd serving New American cuisine. Continue reading
Review: The Progress.
San Francisco is a city filled with some serious foodies. As soon as a new hip restaurant opens up, it’s almost impossible to snatch a reservation there. Well, I just happened to score a dinner reservation at The Progress, the sister restaurant of State Bird Provisions which is literally located right next door (you can read my review here).

Continue reading
Review: SPQR.
Since being back in California, I’ve actually been craving Italian food! After all, I have been living in Florence for almost four years and I’m used to eating pasta three to four times a week or even more! Now SPQR, a one Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco, isn’t exactly the type of Italian food I might be eating back in Italy. Continue reading
Review: Iyasare.
IYASARE, a Japanese restaurant located on Fourth Street in Berkeley, serves modern and delicious takes on classic Japanese cuisine. The restaurant serves mostly izakaya style dining, meaning small plates. Therefore, they suggested we order around two to three plates per person to share family style. Continue reading
Review: 1760.
I’ve been curious but slightly hesitant to try 1760, a New American cuisine restaurant located on Polk Street in San Francisco, because I’ve heard mixed reviews about the place. I was initially intrigued to try 1760 because it’s the sister restaurant of the fine dining Italian establishment, Acquerello (you can read my review here), in San Francisco where I’ve dined twice and absolutely loved it.
