Day - 1887

Friday, October 26, 2018

We ate at Progress for Alice's birthday on Fillmore Street.  I drove to SF at 5 a.m. and took MUNI to work.  I gave Alice an Apple watch for her birthday.  I think she'll really enjoy it.  She was fine with the black band that came with the watch, so I returned the red band to Apple after work on my way to Progress.

Alice knows the pastry chef Kat at Progress, so for her birthday Kat presented Alice with every dessert on the menu!  Oh wow, what a treat!


Progress is a wonderful Michelin star restaurant with large tables and benches that nicely implements that open space community dining experience that's so popular these days.



Our table was right in the corner, a great spot to look out over the main room.



We had fish fries for our appetizer and they were so delicious.  They were fresh anchovies fried in a toasted sesame batter.  Very good with the sauce.


Alice ordered a Sunny Jim cocktail that we both enjoyed.


The squid ink noodles were really good.


We ordered a platter for two of the BBQ livery farms half duck.  Look at all the food!  We ate half and took the rest home.  Best duck ever.


Then came Kat and the desserts.  So good!  She brought all of them to the table.  It pays to know Alice Wu.  What a wonderful birthday dinner!
