When we heard San Francisco now ranks the Top City in the US for having the most 3 Star Michelin restaurants, we had to check out the venue that made it happen. Coi received its third star for the 2018 edition. For years it was at 2 stars under the owner Daniel Patterson. With the artistry of Chef Matthew Kirkley,…

Finally got a reservation to this exceptional restaurant. Every course was delectable, but the Foie Gras was the best I’ve had anywhere. The non-alcoholic drink pairings to each course was also amazing. Loved how the Chef put a lot of creativity and thought into the zero-proof drinks, each was distinct in taste and complimented the meal perfectly. It was difficult…

This meal in 2014 had a lot of sentimental value to me. It was a delectable way of celebrating my hubby’s acceptance into a prestigious medical Fellowship. I noted the following from 2014, “What better way to celebrate success than in the Trump Tower. As I ate this meal, I enjoyed connecting the dots with Mike and how much sacrifice…

Dined at Chef’s counter tonight to see the action. We had the best hushpuppies ever and the duck with orange chips was superb.

Wow, really enjoyed dinner. The plating of this tasting menu had simplicity, but with a melody of accents that make a statement at this unassuming restaurant. The unanticipated textures were enough to be interesting, yet the flavors were seamless. The wagyu was excellent and cooked to perfect temperature. The broths in the entrees had complexity in flavors but were smooth…

Jean Georges located in The Trump Hotel in NYC is a hopping place. Having a Central Park location probably helps with the foot traffic. Our meal started out rather unimpressive. The bread basket they offered was cold and stale tasting. However, it did get better when the courses started coming out. My favorite for the evening was the perfectly poached…
