On December 3rd, a group of 11 Jardineras enjoyed lunch at Terra. Terra is located at 1119 Alameda and was recently awarded four stars. The most famous lunch choice is the crab cakes. Many of the Jardineras enjoyed the cobb salad and the soups.

I would like to finalize the ratings for the 2009 restaurants. Please, review the list and
give me your inputs. Based on prior inputs, I have a list. I realize that many of you did not attend each fabulous place. The list is based on quality, presentation and taste, price, service. And the final question, would you recommend this place or return for a second time and a third. Four Stars, yes we must return,
three stars, good and definitely return, two stars, maybe return, one star, it may be worth one more visit, under different circumstances. What do you think ladies ? I think all 12 choices were great.

1. La Provence ****
2. Terra ****
3. St Claire Winery ***
4. Casa Benavidez ***
5. Chez Axel ***
6. La Fonda del Bosque ***
7. Nick & Jimmys ***
8. Savoy Bar & Grill **
9. Zea **
10. Mykonos **
11. China Luck *
12. Annie's Soup Kitchen *

The Out To Lunch Group traveled to China Luck on San Pedro for Chinese. The attendees for the lunch was nine. The lunch menu at China Luck was extensive. However, several expressed their disappointment with character of flavor and spices. The food was not spicy and served buffet style.

On September 3rd, ten Jardinerans traveled to
La Provence for the most delicious lunch.
It truly is a piece of France right here in Nob Hill.
The selection, service, and textures of lunch were the best. The only fault we found was the noise level was a tad high. However, we definitely enjoyed the lunch and recommend it to the rest of the Jardinerans.

On August 6 a group of 17 ladies enjoyed lunch at the St. Claire Winery on Rio Grande. The food was delicious and the company fabulous. In addition, The Out To Lunch Bunch enjoyed a mini wine (Cabernet ) and Champagne (Brut) tasting. It was fun. The next outing will be to La Provence on September 3.

On July 1, The Out To Lunch Bunch enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Mykonos, a Greek Restaurant located on Eubank and Juan Tabo. Mykonos interior is decorated in white and blue, true to Greek design. Mykonos is a very large setting and the walls are adorned with Greek Murals.

The food was excellent and the group of eight enjoyed both the food and visiting. Mykonos is a definite keeper and we plan to return, often.
