Yesterday was my first day of vacationing in San Franscico and I was all by my lonesome for the first night. Tonight, I will be meeting my boyfriend and we will be venturing out together in the city as well as Napa for few days.  I’m hoping that he will help me rate the rest of the soups during the visit here.

But last night it was just me. So what is one to do all by themselves in the Cow Hallow area?

Well, walking down to Chestnut street was a mighty fine idea indeed. It seemed to be buzzing with all kinds of folks. People hanging out of pubs, cafes and restaurants. I decided to walk by A16, a restaurant that my girlfriend Sharon (whoms house I was staying at) has mentioned a few times in the past as being a great spot. It was super busy, and I lucked out being a lone diner to grab a seat at the bar.

A first, I sat between two couples and it felt so boring to me. But shortly after one couple left, three bubbly freindly women joined the bar besides me, whom I had the liberty to have a few glasses of wine and some laughs with. They were a hoot and made my evening for sure.

So what was on the menu?

I decided to have A16’s Spring Zuppa and the Octupus salad.
