UpTake reiviews: Serpentine and A Tale of Two Chowders

Yeah, so, David and I had a little day after Christmas brunch at Serpentine in our hood. I was almost hesitant to write about it (but I did, click here), because Serpentine is one of the only spots in SF where we don’t have to wait for a table.
David and I met up with Michelle, [...]
