Masa's Restaurant is a Food Marathon

The cuisine at Masa's was amazing but I wish I had been more strategic about my approach to the dinner. I should have prepared for the dining experience much like my first half marathon.  

I should have watched what I ate earlier that date, paced myself during the dinner by eating slowly and taking breaks and made sure that I made it to the end with enough energy (room in my belly) for the sweet dessert. The seven course meal was so overwhelming tasty and each dish so unique that I can't even remember every dish. I just remember the whole three hour meal as a collage of different dishes much like the picture above.

Gitane

Gitane has been on the top of my restaurant list for awhile now. After trying it a couple weeks ago... it has moved to the top of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco! Everything about the dining experience was delicious. The ambiance is elective but still comfy, the food is mainly inspired by the Iberian peninsula yet there is a lot of menu variety. I had the steak with bone marrow but I could have gone vegetarian that night and been fully satisfied with the choice. Also, the bartenders are experts of their crafts. We each got a concoction of our liking. I already want to go back!
