Oh boy...Pam's probably here and I haven't had a chance to respond. Sorry, Pam. Of course, you chose well with Grasings and Christopher's. Sab, I haven't been to Bouchee, so please don't include that restaurant in my previous comments. Italian? As somebody else who posted here, has learned from me - Little Napoli.
Have a nice trip - it's beautiful here, today!

Hey Tess--As noted I haven't been to Bouchee lately, so I have no current knowledge upon which to recommend it. I know that you never mention it, now I know why. Any particular reason why you have never been--too expensive, just not interested?

Hi Sab, the opportunity just hasn't been there for me. Maybe one day. Cost? LOL...ummm, no...we've dined at Roy's, Club XIX and Fresh Cream in the last couple of weeks alone. Check out this post so you can get a good idea on how we dine: http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...1&tid=34871830

Tess--I certainly did not intend to imply that you could not afford Bouchee, I was only inquirying whether you thought the food was not worth the price. Many times although I can afford a restaurant, I will find it is overpriced based on the quality of the food. I believe that it should not be difficult to produce excellent food at a high price, i.e. if a restaurnat is expensive I expect great, not adequate food. What I really value is producing excellent food at a moderate price.

Has anyone been to Bixby's yet? See website:

Kai is so cute!

SAB - you stated some of the reasons we love Christopher's so much.

Happy Thanksgiving. We have to get dressed and drive up to the bay area to our family get together. Oh, I wonder what kind of traffic we're going to face.
