My husband and I have a monthly tradition – the first Friday of every month we have a fancy date night out! This usually consists of dining at a restaurant neither one of us have been to but sometimes we’re in the mood for a favorite and that’s what we did this month. The impetus for this tradition is very romantic – our credit card gives double points on dining out the first Friday of every month and often times we eat out or order in on Fridays so we decided, if we’re going to do it anyway might as well go to a nice restaurant, get extra points (that we use for traveling) and use it an another excuse to experience the amazing restaurants San Francisco has to offer.
Many times there some planning that has to go into this since many of the city’s restaurants book up weeks in advance and with the crazy holidays January’s first Friday crept up on us. Garçon is our most favorite restaurant in the city hands down. Not only is their food amazing and the owners, Arthur and Jerome, fabulous people, but it’s also where we held our wedding reception. We both wanted to spend more money on our honeymoon (a trip around the world) than on the actual wedding so we got married at City Hall (which is a beautiful building if you’ve never seen it) and then had a perfect dinner at Garçon.
