Great Unilocal-y Venue !! The staff at Trace and The W did a great job hosting a big bunch of Unilocalers. The ambiance was really classy, upscale and trendy. It’s was a very well attended event, and a great kickoff to the 2013 Unilocal Elite Year. The hors d’œuvre’s were excellent and the drinks were outstanding. Also, particularly liked the photo booth and the poster-sized 2013 Elite Badges as photo props was pure genius !! Great job Jon & Jessica !! You guys rock !! Already looking forward to more San Francisco YEE’s to come in 2013 !!

What an evening to end hump day! Marvelous lighting, lounge seating areas, with splendid petite courses and a photo booth upstairs! What’s not to enjoy? Long lines to taste each small dish and every sampler was savory, indeed! The dish that was the highlight for the evening, was the Braised Lamb Shoulder with potato gnocchi. The meat was so tender! Those jello shots shaped into a slice of lemon or lime, was super delectable and a must-have to the eye to try! The Crème Fraiche Panna Cotta with Satsuma Tangerine, looked unique and tasted a bit of cottage cheese with a slight citrus taste to it! It was great! Overall, a splendid night!!! Thank you Jon and Jessica for another well executed YEE!

First Unilocal event of the year and it just happened to be at an old favorite. Formerly known as XYZ, TRACE is a bar I have purposely avoided after one too many unfavorable memories were made before its serious make over. Coming back, I felt a wave of nostalgia and a slight sick feeling in my stomach. But man, did this place get a nice refresh! It’s got glam and sex appeal in the most classiest way possible. The bar top upstairs is a mesmerizing light show and makes for a great backdrop for photos. Upscale, modern and oh-so-trendy. Food-wise, the yellow-tail appetizer with pickled cucumber and toasted almonds was tasty. My favorite was the honey ice cream they were freeze-whipping up at the frozen station. Thanks Unilocal for bringing me back to this great establishment. I need to redeem myself.
