Review: Luna Mexican Kitchen

September 21, 2023 by Island Miler Leave a Comment

Luna Mexican Kitchen

On our final night in the Bay Area, I tried to get us another fantastic dining experience. This was more difficult than I thought it would be, as San Jose actually has some great options. Eventually, I settled on checking out Luna Mexican Kitchen, which has a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand designation.  … [Read more...] about Review: Luna Mexican Kitchen

Review: Topogato

September 6, 2023 by Island Miler Leave a Comment

Topogato

The very last thing we did in San Francisco was to hunt down Topogato - a boutique chocolate maker specializing in gourmet truffles, chocolate bars, and more. I had actually tried to order online from them and ship it home a while back, but shipping charges to Hawaii were so high that I decided to wait until we were in the area.  … [Read more...] about Review: Topogato

Review: Restaurant Marlena

Restaurant Marlena

Our second and final dinner in San Francisco was at another Michelin-starred spot: Restaurant Marlena. Unfortunately, this SF hotspot closed this past July due to a dispute between the chef/owners and the landlord who owns the physical restaurant. But I loved the place so much I'm reviewing it anyway.  … [Read more...] about Review: Restaurant Marlena

SF Ferry Building Marketplace

The primary reason I chose to stay at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco is its location. Specifically, its proximity to the SF Ferry Building Marketplace, which is an icon of the city and a fantastic place to shop and dine at.  … [Read more...] about SF Ferry Building Marketplace

Review: Dim Sum at Yank Sing

Yank Sing

During our last visit to the Bay Area, we checked out the phenomenal take on Chinese dim sum - Mister Jiu's. But as much as we loved that restaurant, we wanted to try something more traditional, so I booked a brunch reservation for dim sum at Yank Sing.  … [Read more...] about Review: Dim Sum at Yank Sing

Review: The Progress SF

The Progress SF

Do you know what's more difficult than choosing a hotel in San Francisco? Picking a dinner spot. With just two nights to play in the city, I had to pick carefully. As such, I decided to book a table at one of the hottest restaurants in the Bay Area: The Progress SF.  … [Read more...] about Review: The Progress SF

Review: Hyatt Regency San Francisco

Hyatt Regency San Francisco

After our too-brief stay at the Alila Napa Valley, it was time for us to head into the city. I long vacillated over what hotel to stay at and eventually settled on the Hyatt Regency San Francisco on Embarcadero.  … [Read more...] about Review: Hyatt Regency San Francisco

Review: La Calenda Mexican

La Calenda

After our extravagant pre-dinner, it was time to head to the main event at another Thomas Keller establishment - La Calenda. His first ethnic concept, the restaurant serves up authentic Mexican cuisine in downtown Yountville.  … [Read more...] about Review: La Calenda Mexican

Review: Regiis Ova Caviar and Champagne Lounge

August 3, 2023 by Island Miler

Regiis Ova Caviar and Champagne Lounge

After our wine tasting and tour at Schramsberg Vineyard, we decided to pre-game (food) before dinner at one of Thomas Keller's many establishments in Yountville - the Regiis Ova Lounge. And why not? A couple of snacks couldn't hurt, and actually served us well, given how the rest of the night went. But more on that later.  … [Read more...] about Review: Regiis Ova Caviar and Champagne Lounge
