Friday, September 26, 2008
We kind of changed the schedule around a bit and ended up at Bob Chinn’s Crabhouse Bob Chinn’s Crabhouse for lunch today. We weren’t that hungry after our late and massive breakfast so seafood ended up being a nice light choice.

Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Almost 7 months ago, Kathleen recommended Crooked Tree Creperie Crooked Tree Creperie, in the comments section of the Cafe Brama post. I can’t believe how long it’s taken me to go try it but I’m glad I finally did because it’s quite good.

Lunch at Zeytuna
Thursday, August 28, 2008
I’ve been to Zeytuna before, but this was my first time sitting on the cafe side, with service and a full menu.

***Now Closed***
Months ago, Angie and Winnie went to Elettaria Elettaria, ordered too much food, and decided to bring their doggie bag to us. From then on, Elettaria has been on our restaurant wish list but you know how that goes. If only there were 8 meals in a day….Well, waiting so long is our loss. […]
The Redhead

We each assembled a plate to […]
Alta

Alta Alta has been on my list of places I want to try for a while. Finally made it over there!

Eight Course Salmon Tasting at Aquagrill

Lon really knows how to make a girl happy. I’ve been talking about how I want to be a judge on Iron Chef, so for my birthday, he called up a few restaurants to find out who would make a salmon tasting menu just for me. I would get to taste and judge each dish. […]
Perilla – I Have Returned!
Sunday, April 20, 2008
You may have noticed that I don’t return to many restaurants often. Perilla is one of the few that I make this exception for, and since the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, I’ll have to remember to make seasonal visits. We were in a group of seven this time, and I’d […]
