    Went to Sweet T’s with my in laws. My father in law really wanted the braised short ribs. Unfortunately the braised short ribs sold out the night before. So since those were sold out, he requested the ribs. Unfortunately the ribs were not available until 2pm and we were there at 1pm. Broken hearted he ordered the burger. He enjoyed the burger and finished his plate. We were getting ready to leave and bless the chef, they sent him home with a to go box of ribs and coleslaw. It made his day! Thank you all so much!

    Prelude is such a gem that we are lucky to have in the Bay Area. In an era where tasting menus can often leave you underwhelmed and needing a slice of pizza at the end, Prelude did the exact opposite. While I did opt for the caviar supplement and added on the sweetbreads dish from the ala carte menu, even without the extras I still would have left full to the brim. Some can’t miss dishes are the stuffed chicken wing, the catfish dumplings, the aforementioned sweetbreads, and the pork chop. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, and I found the by the glass wine options superb- I was particularly fond of a pour of a very special 1996 Chenin Blanc with dessert. I look forward to returning to Prelude again and again.
