Stayed home and rested most of the day. Went to the shoe store to get orthotics to help my knee problem. Hung out at Reverie Cafe waiting for Patrick. Dinner at Cafe Zazie with Patrick. Zazie is a small French restaurant we found in Cole Valley after deciding we wanted to find new places in the city to enjoy. Zazie was a pleasant find: lit not too bright nor too dark, French posters of stage shows on the wall, tealight candles on each tabletop, a lively crowd for a Friday evening but not too noisy to talk. Service (provided by Server ID 3) was very good. I had a small salad and pasta with mushroom ragout and spinach. Patrick had the US$18.95 prix fixe meal: your choice of appetizer, entree, and dessert. He had a blackberry iced tea, walnut and gorgonzola salad, fish soup with snapper, and chocolate orange bread pudding. All the food was delicious and we would return and recommend this place to our friends. Our bill came to $40.80 before a $6.50 tip. They wouldn't take American Express, and after the server left with my MasterCard, I said to Patrick, "What? I didn't see any Asian owners!" We were planning to do something after, but Patrick has had a long day, having met Krandall Kraus earlier in the day to chat, so we went home and turned in early.
