Blackout in San Francisco

I went with my sister to San Francisco on April 7-10. On the first night, we arrived at the hotel around midnight and it was drizzling outside. We felt a bit chilly and wanted hot food, so we visited a raman restaurant close to our hotel.
We were eating the meal when suddenly there was total darkness.The restaurant owner rushed outside to figure out what had happened, then he came back and told us that the power had gone out in the whole area.
Many customers were going to pay by credit card but the payment terminal wasn’t working and neither was the cash register. My sister's bill and mine came to twenty six dollars but we just had a twenty dollar bill that was in my pocket. Finally the owner asked all of us to just pay as much  as we can in cash and if we didn’t have any cash on us, it’s ok.
The next morning at 4:30 am the power was restored. 

Or

By 4:30 am the next morning, all power had been restored. 

A Filipino Restaurant

When I went to the US with my older sister this spring, we decided we wanted to taste some unique international cuisines. One day, my older sister took me to a Filipino restaurant because she wanted to try the food there. It is an award winning restaurant and has a good online reputation. We had Seared Albacore Tostada to start, and Soft Egg Raviolo and Pork Cheek Adobo for small entrees. After that, we shared a 14 oz Ribeye steak for the main dish and Tropical verrine for dessert. It was yummy!
