The casualty of all this capital “E” entertaining is that we all but stop having friends over to our homes for dinner, citing exploding to-do lists and calendars.But this is exactly the right time of year to invite some people over for supper.

Saison crew to open a new restaurant named Angler — in both S.F. and L.A. What do you do when your restaurant has a perfect three Michelin stars and is considered by some to be the best of the best in a city known for its fine-dining?

In the last two years more than 10 new restaurants have opened here.

The color of the flowers covers an impressive range from pink to red to orange to coral to white.
