Walked and rode Muni to meet Patrick at Commonwealth Club for Robyn Crawford: Year-end Michelle Meow Holiday Special. Food and drink at the event: beef chow mein, a meat pie of some kind, dumplings; Patrick had white wine, I had red wine. We encountered and sat with and chatted with Joel. The event was interesting and, at times, moving. Dinner with Patrick at Prospect (415-247-7770, 300 Spear Street): still water for me, San Pell for Patrick. Cocktails: suntory solution for Patrick (Toki Japanese whiskey, ancho reyes, Italicus Rosalio, honey, lemon), amaluna for me (inspired by the Cirque du Soleil show: gin infused with orange zest and mint tea, gran classico, passion fruit, lemon vanilla syrup, butterfly foam. For an appetizer we shared roasted sea scallops (crispy artichokes, artichoke puree, barigoule butter). Entrees: filet mignon with roasted broccoli, spigarello, red wine pearl onions, bordelaise for Patrick, Berkshire pork chop with savoy cabbage, fuyu persimmon, and red cabbage agrodolce for me. Dessert: ice cream sandwiches, which was really one ice cream sandwich sliced in half. $174.82 before a $28 tip.
