E'Angelo, SF
|
| |
Is E'Angelo (Chestnut St. in the Marina) any good? There's a coupon
out currently: $37 for two three-course dinners. I ate there a long,
long time ago, on a date, and I only remember two things about it: the
restaurant had family-style seating, and the woman I was with kept
touching her napkin to the corners of her mouth.... more »

Piqueo's, SF
|
| |
The prices at Piqueo's are roughly 30% higher than the prices at my
default Peruvian-style restaurant, Limon. The food at Piqueo's is
approximately 10% better than the food at Limon. Piqueo's is a little
quieter, and the service less hurried, than at Limon (5% better at
Piqueo's). So overall the cost-benefit difference between the two... more »

Quick Take -- Justin's in Santa Clara
|
| |
This is the restaurant in the old Wilson's Jewel Bakery space in the
Franklin Mall area of Santa Clara. My wife and her galpal went:
"Signature" crab roll: Meh, although pretty.
Lunch salads: Good, but not great (She had the tofu salad, but spinach
dominated it.)
Dessert: Winner! Affogato Strata... more »

Summer drink

The French 75 is the cocktail reputed to have won the First World War,
or started the Crimean War, or something. If you modify the French 75
by replacing the gin with pisco, you will have peace in our time.
1 ounce of (gin, in the original French 75) pisco
1/2 ounce of (simple syrup, originally) pineapple gum syrup... more »
