Mi Lindo Yucatán

This weather just sucks. Everyone's talking about how sucky it is. Since all the complaining in the world won't change it, you just gotta suck it up. A few weeks back I was sick, it was rainy (of course), and it was Monday night. A three-fer…

Ottimista Enoteca-Café

Okay, I have a guilty secret that is about to get outed here: I occasionally eat in the Marina. And now that OTTIMISTA ENOTECA-CAFÉ has opened in the old Rica's space (yes, it's on Union Street for crissakes) I decided I might as well come clean…

Tajine

*THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED* I try to make my life a study of hi-lo as much as possible. Nothing quite like doing a posh champagne tasting at the Ritz, followed up by a drink down the street at the Tunnel Top and then an emergency quesadilla. Or oysters at Zuni…

Tsar Nicoulai

Okay, newsflash. Last week I canoodled with one of the most dreamboat sandwiches I've had in recent memory, and I'm already plotting to have another date with it. Imagine a sashimi sandwich that went to Paris. The fabulously spendy TSAR NICOULAI CAVIAR CAFE in the Ferry…

Bix

So where exactly do you go when you need to take your cool attorney out for a nice thank you dinner, or you want to spoil your birthday boy without going to some stuffy restaurant with chintz, or maybe you just want to reminisce and get into a spendy IPO…

Pesce

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE FORMER POLK STREET LOCATION, DATED FEB 28, 2006 For a town known for its seafood, it sometimes feels mighty challenging to indulge in some quality and tasty fish here. What gives? And I'm not talking sushi, or crab and garlic noodles. So yes,…

Couleur Café

*THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED* Scene: Tuesday night, 7pm. Your sh*t is hungry. Work sucked. Your frig only has olives and ketchup and, like, one egg. (One egg, so annoying.) You've had enough of the Chinese-Thai-Indian tribunal with their meals and deals on the pastel pieces of paper…
