Ron L.'s Profile
Rich or lucky? Best places to use the expense account.
See All Lists
1. Morton's The Steakhouse
Scene: 5:00am at the local high school track. A misty fog surrounded the schoolgrounds, barely thick enough for me to notice a lone Spartan running laps.
Me: Wow! You've got quite a workout. Are you training for the Boston Marathon or Bay to…More »
2. The Grill on the Alley
The name is classy, but no, it doesn't describe a seedy side street where a home boy with gold dentures lay beaten face down on the pavement.
This is another favorite expense account place of mine. They do promote homey specials (no, not homeboy…More »
3. The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel
I was lucky enough to stay here for a company meeting, back in the day when we had money to burn.
And burn, we did. We spent lots of dollars. Canadian dollars, American dollars, Hong Kong dollars, you name it, we spent it. And it was worth…More »
4. Boulevard
One of the best dining experiences one will ever had...enough said; go and try it.
The dungeness crab salad was on the salty side, but I was able to put up with that. My lamb t-bone was excellently done; rare on the inside and crusty on the outside.…More »
5. Cigars by Chivas
After dinner, Sean Connery, Andy Garcia, and Kevin Costner occupied the plush leather seats around me. We were celebrating the recent heist of illegal alcohol, relaxing with a Montecristo #2. The press had already labelled us "The Untouchables",…More »
6. Cinnabar Hills Golf Club
If you can find a better public course than this in the Bay Area, then play it.
There are three nines, the Canyon, the Mountain, and the Lake. Challeging enough for my 17 handicap. The views and natural beauty will make you feel good about your…More »
7. Birk's Restaurant
1. Bring your wallet (or lucky ones, bring your corporate card).
2. Bring your appetite.
3. Bring your appetite.
4. Bring earplugs (can get noisy)
5. Bring your appetite.
This is THE place to hold that million dollar contract signing business dinner.…More »
8. ACME Chophouse - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94107

Categories:
American (New),
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: SOMA
I went here before a Giants game. This is truly an expense account type of place. I'd like to think I make decent money, but seeing this place full at lunch, I concluded that (a) there are lucky guys like me on the expense account, or (b) I don't…More »
9. Spencer's For Steaks And Chops
Spencer's is one of the better steak houses in the area, but I wish it were not tucked away in the Doubletree Hotel. Parking was good (validated), but being in a hotel just didn't give me the gourmet feeling.
Steaks should be nicely seared on the…More »
