Dine out in 2007

Been to 8 dine outs this year... I think I have burnt a hole in my wallet.

Le Cracodile - second try, went for a friend's 19th bday, always like their service, couldn't remember what I had, but I was really full, which was rare for french dine out.

Nu - second try, had the lobster menu, appy was good, but the main course is on the salty side, great company though, some good mix of new friends, high school friends and college friends.

Cannery - first time there, the sexy girl I went with recommended mussels, which were great, chorizo and the sauce, so good. The dine out? It was okay at best, the main course sablefish and salmon were dry, and ling cod appy was better, actually, the dessert was probably the best out of the 3. Second thought, the company was better than the food in my opinion, had great conversation.

Provence - third time there, went there by accident with friends for brunch, always love their crepe, cheese and asparagus, good stuff!

O'doul's - my favourite restaurant in 2006, went many times for different occasions, went there for a friend's bday, great value, the tenderloin was in generous portion and the dessert was sooo good. and im usually not a dessert person. I suspect it will still be my favourite in 2007.

Lift Bar and Grill - first time, went with my banker friend, good ambience, food portions are tiny comparing to O'doul's, for the appy, we were guessing if it was sauce under the slice of duck or it was a duck soup... we drank it like soup anyways. The sea bass was good, although it wasn't as good as the bass at C a few years back, but i could be starving back at C.

Bluewater - first time, was impressed by the size of the restaurant, it also features a nice list of oysters and sushi bar... yes, a sushi bar. We ordered the dine out menu, the appy was interesting, the main course was forgettable, Char was good, but couscous was only okay, the dessert was not too exciting, lemon tart and chocolate mousse.

Aurora - first time, small place but very cozy, the martini is expensive and weird, it was a sour cloudy watery thingie, the appy is interesting, I had a plate of beets, main course was not bad, especially the veal cheek.

The best appy - mussels at Cannery, but it wasn't on Dine out, if Dine out, Salmon mousse at Bluewater.
The best main - tenderloin at O'doul, great sauce, great meat... hm...
The best dessert - sorbet at Cannery, nice portion, great flavours

Best 2007 dine out - O'doul's
Most dissapointed 2007 dine out - Cannery, just because I was so looking forward to it.
Total friends included in the dine out - 38

I was suppose to go to Cadero and West, but I want to prevent myself from a heart attack when I open my credit card statment next week.
