Where Did Julia Roberts Dine This Week in SF?

We’re not frequently star-struck, but how’s this for a celebrity sighting: Monday night, following the fundraiser for Paul Newman’s children’s camp (held at Davies Symphony Hall) none other than Julia Roberts, her husband Danny Moder, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, Robin Wright Penn, Billy and Janice Crystal, Danny DeVito, Bonnie Raitt and Marsha Williams gathered at Jardinière to celebrate Julia’s birthday (she turned 41)—other lucky diners heard the gang singing “Happy Birthday” to Julia and Rita (whose birthday was just a few days earlier).

Of course, the real mystery remains: what did the group eat? Did someone (Tom, Sean?) sample the delicious duck meatballs? Here’s hoping someone in the group had the good sense to sample a cocktail, such as the Tippler’s Delight, an elegant cocktail involving Navip Slivotvitz 8 Year, St. Germain Elderflower Liquer, Lemon, and St. George Absinthe.

You see? Stars, they’re just like us.
