Weekend in the City
My husband and I spent a lot of time in the city(San Francisco) this weekend…which is our goal for the weekends that we stay in town. Here were some of the highlights:
We had a great dinner in the Mission on Friday night at a south Indian restaurant called, “Dosa“. It opened in 2006 and has the distinction of being the only Indian restaurant in San Francisco that focuses on southern Indian cuisine. I am far less familiar with southern Indian food, so, I have little to compare it with. But, we really enjoyed everything that we ordered. From the stuffed ,”crepe like”, delectable dosa (that inspires the establishment name), to the wonderful pepper chicken curry with lemon basmati rice, and the spicy, crunchy cabbage salad with walnuts and blue cheese. We also had a well-paired bottle of wine. I do feel that the service here deserves a comment, as it was very good. The restaurant was very crowded and we had to wait 45 minutes for a table. But, the bartenders were very attentive and once we sat down, our waitress was very friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere manages to be both modern and warm….with muted orange walls, large gilt mirrors, and wooden sculptures. I think that we will definitely return to Dosa, for the food, service, and atmosphere.
On Saturday night, we had tickets to a comedy show at the Eureka Theater, located right off of The Embarcadero and Broadway. It is a small, funky little theater which appears to get some great comedic talent. They sell wine, beer, and homemade chocolate chip cookies in the lobby and the stage setting is very close and intimate. The show we saw was very funny and included an up and coming female stand-up comedian named Maria Bamford. She has a refreshingly funny sense of humor and an extraordinary talent for voices.
It was a great weekend, proving to me the endless opportunities for dining and entertainment that the city has to offer.
