My first year doing Dine about town in San Francisco. A prixe fixe menu at at San Francisco’s fancy restaurant for all of January. This is the last weekend!

I went two weeks ago to Rubicon. Just for the occasion, I had dressed up in a dress I had spontaneously bought because it had ruffles. Had my second glass of wine (ever). Went through all three courses of the perfect-sized portions. At a table for four, but only two of us.

Then today, my friend and I chose Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. Started off with a 1/2 “steak” salad. Hot plate with sizzling butter holding my 6 oz petite filet. Sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. And followed by bread pudding. Oh and all of this complemented by a light red wine (my request). Service was a bit questionable as was the music. But my friend pointed it out to the oblivious me.

These are the few times that I forgo my non-drinking habits. Great food must go with wine.
