Taste of Tokyo and Grano Trattoria
In the last couple of weeks, I revisited 2 restaurants that I liked: Taste of Tokyo and Grano Trattoria. Both nights were disappointing because 2 very good and reasonably priced places had slipped.Taste of Tokyo gave us very sloppy cuts of sashimi that were very tendonous and a much smaller portion of for the sashimi entree too. The experience was bad enough that I might not ever go back.If you remembe... -
Diner 24 CLOSED!
I think we should all take a moment of silence.........Does anyone know why they closed? This is terrible!!!!I need those disco fries (made with melted brie and truffle oil, with a sprinkle of herbs). The duck meatloaf was also delicious. Good burgers too. How could this happen to me?... -
BLT Prime
Great place! At BLT Prime You start with some bread and chicken liver pate, then their signature popovers. (Lon loves them but I wasn't that impressed.)Our table of 4 (celebrating Justin K's birthday) started with a crabcake, goat cheese stuffed beets, a fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and fresh pesto, and a corn chowder with bacon and shrimp. Every single appetizer was perfect. We were all thrilled and impressed.My filet wa... -
Tabla
Sat night was my fourth visit to Tabla spread over a 6 year time span. Each time, I've been less and less impressed with my meal, the first visit being superb and the last one being just ok and certainly not worth the prices.The service is still fantastic. I did enjoy my seared calamari appetizer but Lon's appetizer of hamachi was boring and both of our entrees weren't very good. Lon had a dish with 2 types of pork and the unattractive lo... -
Odwalla’s Vanilla Being Soymilk
What it is:Odwalla created a fantastic tasting vanilla flavored soy milk! (soy milk is a non-dairy beverage made from soybeans. It is often used as an alternative to milk for those who are lactose intolerant or are avoiding dairy.) The half-gallon carton retails for about $3.49 and... -
Bravo Pizza
There's more than one place called Bravo (though they are all related)-- I'm referring to the one on 5th ave.Lon and I ordered their "Chicago Style Pizza", half sausage, half plain. The delivery guy obviously didn't hold the pizza box straight because it was smooshed onto one side, affecting approximately 3 slices.That's really not my main complaint. The BIG problem was that the bottom of the crust tasted like cardboard... -
Daphne's Carribean
Daphne's on 14th St has moved. It used to be this dirty looking fast food joint with cheap but good food, according to Lon. So after my cousin Olivia gave me an eye exam, we went towards Daphne's for dinner - at their new location which none of us had been to. It now shares a space 2 doors East with another restaurnt. The restaurant in the back is more upscale and Daphne's uses the bar area in front with less attractive tables, yet still bet...
