We're off to San Francisco...

to eat luxuriously at an olive oil customer of mine, Bistro Aix and to catch the Giant's Game afterwards. It's a bit chilly for the outing but it will be awesome fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing Johnathan who is the owner of Bistro Aix. He's a great guy who's really passionate about what he does.

We were thinking about going to Laiola, which is also a customer but the wait, even with reservations can be horrendous. Ya see, Laiola is the new and happening spot to nosh in the Marina District and everybody and their mother has been trying to get in there - especially since they received three stars from Michael Bauer at the Chronicle.

We also thought about going to O'Reilley's Holy Grail but that's a rollicking Irish party spot and we aren't looking to take it to the limit this evening. I will say this, if you are ever in the mood to party Irish style and get your corned beef and cabbage on, O'Reilley's is absolutely the place to do that. I also highly recommend their Hunter's Pie made with Guiness and vennison ~ heavenly! Great bartender and very cute Irish staff.
