 We were in SB this past weekend for a wedding and had a wonderful meal
 Friday night at Palazzio Trattoria, on State St. The food, service, and
 atmosphere were all terrific.

 We also had a great lunch at Super Rica Taqueria on Milpas. Good
 street-style Mexican food.

 Mattie's Tavern is now Brothers and it is fantastic. Sous chef from Spago
 and the wait staff is friendly.
