An antique shop in downtown S.F. |
After checking out of the hotel on Jackson st, we checked into a hotel on Grant Street right in the downtown area of San Francisco.
This location was much better as we could walk downtown easily and enjoy some night life much easier than our previous location.
Union Square, San Francisco |
We texted E. and asked him to join us for dinner at one of the restaurants.

We walked down Union square to enjoy the night activities. The downtown area was busy humming with activities.
Unfortunately because we did not make a reservation, the place where we wanted to have dinner was fully booked. So we made a reservation for the next evening.
Downtown San Francisco at night |
We went to another restaurant in a nice hotel close by, it was all full too!
Wow! It seemed that people in SF have so much money to spend, all the large popular eateries were all busy and packed with people.

We went to a smaller restaurant. The place was busy too but at least we didn't have to wait for more than 30 minutes. The Thai dishes they served at this smaller restaurant actually were very good!
E. asked us to go for a after dinner drink at a brand new restaurant by the piers.
So we had an opportunity to walked and enjoyed the night view of the city even more.
We passed by a few tall skyscrapers, one of which looked welcoming with some bright colour and an outdoor theme.
So we went in to take a look.
E. explained to us some of the history and stories about these modern buildings.
What E. intended to take us was this nice recently opened bar/ restaurant by the piers.
It is a restaurant with an open kitchen.
While sitting inside the restaurant, we were able to see the brightly lit bay bridge outside!
While waiting for our table, we enjoyed some champagne at the waiting area.
We had other mixed drinks.
I believed this drink was called White Russian.
Since we had already eaten, we ordered some appetizers and desserts.
A coconut dessert frozen by nitrogen. Delicious! |
Everything was presented beautifully and thoughtfully by the wait staff.
I never had a frozen coconut dessert served in a half coconut shell.
It was tasty, flavorful and best of all, not too sweet. This coconut dessert was unique and delicious!
An ice cream sundae with warm caramel sauce! |
The ice cream sundae was fresh and rich. It tasted like they just made it. The fresh caramel sauce served in front of us added a lot to the ice cream. They went well and tasted so good together!
We enjoyed excellent service by the wait staff who were well trained, polite and could not do enough for us.
Best of all, we had some great exchange and conversations with E., which made our trip all worthwhile!
