The Baltic

I played a gig over the weekend at an old place that's all new again.

The Baltic was a nice nightspot and restaurant in Point Richmond that kinda fell apart and closed about a year and a half ago. Well, I'm happy to report it's been reopened and it's a fine re-addition to an area that needs more cool hangs.

We had dinner before the gig and the kitchen is doing some nice stuff. I had a wild mushroom rissoto that was what good risottos should be; just firm enough to hold the right texture, and deeply infused with the flavorful additions to the rice. My partners had the ribeye, and a few of the large salads offered. All commented on the good grub, and the reasonable prices.

They have live music on Saturday nights (Blues and R&B mostly) and the bar crowd is a lively mix of 30 somethings looking to dance and have a good time.

Be sure to check it out!

I didn't know they had closed. I love the Baltic. The last time we were there is when we took Buffy Saint Marie back to the Shattuck Hotel and David had to go through a DUI checkpoint. That was a little hairy!

I wish we were closer. I miss everyone very much.

Love,
Sissy
