Thank you Jimmy and Karen! They gave us gift certificates that were good at numerous restaurants in SF to Chicago to Seattle!! Before the restaurants go out of business we thought we'd better use them. I regret not taking any pictures but it is worth blogging about....
We made our early dinner reservation for 5:45 on Saturday night. I wore a black dress and Dick wore a suit coat and we hopped in a taxi to Union Square. We ate at Kuleto's Italian Restaurant on Powell. It was a little rainy and cold night but Union Square was HOPPIN'!! Thankfully we were seated right next to the fireplace! We ordered a cocktail and ate some bread....while looking over the menu, we both decided to 'GO BIG' (since Jimmy and Karen were paying) and ordered the Filet Mignon with a glass of 2005 Merryvale cab too! I cannot remember the last time I had a Filet!! Not sure how we finished the entire meal but we did.....and then some!!!! We ended the meal by sharing a Blueberry Creme Brulee! WOW!! It was HUGE and it was amazing! The best I'd ever have by far! I'd go again just for the dessert!! We walked around and enjoyed the beauty of the St. Francis Hotel before grabbing a taxi home.
One of these nights, we are going to do a 'progressive dinner' - start with appetizer, then go to another restaurant for a soup/salad, move onto another for the main course...etc... that would be fun! Well, it is always a treat to try the different flavors SF has to offer!! We are thankful Thanks again to Jimmy and Karen!! We really enjoyed our evening!!
