Ugh...I wish I was up there right now. I would join you in a second. I can certainly give you a couple of recommendations for dinner. check out "Spoon and Stable" or "Bachelor Farmer". Both are great spots. There's also a great place to get a cocktail underneath Bachelor Farmer called "Marvel".

Status: offline 		Jay, The Bachelor Farmer absolutely hit it out of the park last night. Their tartare is probably the best on I've had in USA. A great night, and a place I will visit EVERY time I'm in this town.

Dan, thanks for the recommendation; might have some time tomorrow morning, but also a possibility for lunch today - great! looking food, and only a 5 minute ride from our hotel.

Bachelor Farmer is great. Obviously you brought your own wine but they have nice wine service as well. I appreciate that you can buy half a bottle and they put the rest on a chalkboard for single pour glasses. It worked really well when we were pregnant with our first child and I still wanted to drink nice wine at dinner.

I also second the recommendation for BF's neighbor Spoon & Stable.

I figured you would appreciate. Glad it was an enjoyable time!
