Muu

We stopped by this steakhouse from a friends recommendation in Porto. Honestly, great recommendation.

When we entered, they served us with their house sparkling wine before they seated us.

When we were seated the service felt personalized. Waitress sat beside us to take our orders.

For drinks got an espresso martini (they made it correctly with just coffee/espresso, Khalua , and vodka). Also got a red wine to pair with the ribeye we ordered (they let us cook one part medium and one part medium-rare which I thought was great).

For sides we had spinach and roasted potatoes (which ended up looking cake like).

Forgot to mention we did order appetizers, which was a seafood selection of prawns, mussels and clams.

At the end they gave us coconut chocolate and dark chocolate as a small desert.

From the food, service and drinks would recommend this place to people that go to Porto.

The Office

This was a hidden bar under the Aviary. We went on the waitlist while we were eating at the Aviary. But then one of our waiters from the Aviary hooked us up and we got bumped to the front.

The bar tender actually is the head bar tender for the Aviary. I got their version of the Manhattan, which had a chocolate and banana twist. Really great.

The exclusivity was also shown when you had to use a key to get back inside if you wanted to use the restroom.

Cookie Smart Bakery

Grabbed a quick desert pastry at this place.

Basically got a baklava type thing that was chocolate filled, plus a latte. Was pretty good.

Castello do Amorosa

I’ve been to the winary several times, and it’s a great place to bring people who are visiting San Francisco.

This time around I did not do the tour, but the tour is pretty interesting if you have not done it before.

For the wines, everything listed below is what I drank, except for the moscato. Instead, it was recommended that I try the La Fantasia. And I will admit, it was a good choice (and I actually grabbed a bottle. Also, the last chocolate (the red heart shaped one) goes really well with it since it is the sweetest chocolate. (As an aside, the free chocolates on the top left of the picture tasted really bad compared to the paid ones).

Also, an interesting piece of info is that if you don’t want to do the tasting, but you want to enter, you can pay $20 (instead of $30) if you “forget” your ID.
