At last, a restaurant that doesn’t look like it’s from here (thank you AvroKO for giving us something chic and train station sexy, choo choo). And let’s say hellllllo wine list. Michael Mina and Raj Parr had a definite vision...

tandoori-stuffed alooPhoto from Amber-India.comI don't understand why Indian places always have to be cheap and dingy and have buffets and leave you smelling like a tandoori oven when you depart (kudos to Roti and DOSA for changing that paradigm). Another...
I'm a big fan of working from home--not only is every day casual Friday, but there's no line to get my morning macchiato--and if the barista happens to be copping attitude, maybe it's because she was out late and is...
It's funny, for a town that has been missing some new options for seafood, within a few months of each other, we got Waterbar and ~ANCHOR & HOPE~. Not only is this the third local restaurant with a mermaid logo...
Are you naughty or nice? Are you chocolate experienced, or just fairy experienced? Do you like to be teased? Wanna explore, or explore deeper? If you're eating at ~ORSON~, you better be prepared to answer all of those...

Is it fair to write a review when you have a head cold? This one might not be the sassiest. At least I'm not eating at the restaurant with a head cold, but even so, I have a feeling the...
The mall isn't usually on the top of my preferred dining destinations list, nor am I a fan of chain restaurants, but the meal I recently had at ~LARKCREEKSTEAK~ definitely made me reconsider my "rules" (and I really don't have...
This SF hotspot is coming up on three years in business, and it's still roaring like a popular newcomer on the scene. Some of my favorite mid-level restaurants execute a continuity of concept in almost every detail, a quality that...
NOTE: I struggled whether I should place ~COCO500~ in "fresh meat" since a number of people still haven't checked it out, but then again, it's been open for close to a year, so into "the regular" it goes.I have to...
