I love the old school cafeteria style and the honor system where you pay on
your way out the door. This is definitely a no-frill, old school place that’s
all about the food.
And my most recent experience…Nice. Very nice. In fact, i feel like coming
here every time i drive back from a trip to San Fran.
Have you ever tried to find a delicious affordable meal on the Cape? Well look
no further.
Marshland was incredibly delicious, and two of us ate for under $20.
My date and I decided to eat dinner here in addition to the dessert, and I
can’t say we were disappointed. I ordered a cheesy type of pizza and can safely
say it was the best pizza i’d ever had ! The crust was thin, but the pizza was
delicious. It was light and flavorful, which is why I could eat almost the
entire thing by myself.
We love this place. the food is delicious and unusual. The atmosphere upscale,
comfortable and casual. When the weather cooperates the outside seating is the
best. Parking is a bit limited.
By that rubric I know which places win when you are looking for something to
eat in Jackson. The food isn’t even worth the wait. But I am very impatient, I
would rather get Taco Bell now than wait thirty minutes for a table at a fancy
steak place.
Without a doubt, these are the best pickles ever. I can’t put my finger on
exactly why they are better than the rest, but trust me- they are. I bought
some at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn, then tracked down some more in Whole Foods in
NJ. I think they are seasonal, though. Now I see you can order them from
Amazon, too.
I really liked McGuire’s Irish Pub. It had been recommended to me by several
people before my trip. I was really happy to see that it was a block away from
my hotel. I therefore didn’t have to worry about what I had to drink. I ate
here both nights I was in town.
I have been wanting to write a review for this place since I came here for the
first time.
Visited last night with my friends for the third time. By now I have tried
pretty much all their specialties.
Mr. Flay, I thoroughly respect your culinary skills but this place is an
embarrassment. We were extremely excited to go to one of your restaurants for
the first time but I don’t think we’ll be back anytime soon.
I stopped in after visiting The Met and got a regular slice. The crust was
crispy and the sauce just right. The staff were friendly. I agree with the
other reviewers that the place is really small, but it wasn’t packed when I
went, so I got a stool along the window. All-in-all, it was a great experience
and very good pizza.
Minibar is more than just an upscale dinner, it is a very personable and
interactive dining experience. I’ve been to restaurants that promised this
type of experience (The Restaurant at Meadowood) and ones that provided this
type of experience as a secondary benefit (like the chefs presenting the
courses at Saison), but no restaurant has delivered an experience quite like
minibar.
I don’t live in Portland, nor have I been in close proximity to the city for an
entire year, but I have managed to go twice.
Mo-Chica is a hidden gem. Their ceviche, oxtail, lamb, passionfruit creme
brulee…all very very good. Yet they’re in a strip mall with a bunch of fast
food places. So weird. But the prices aren’t bad.
We stopped in here mid-morning Friday the 14th for coffee and pasty. Nice
little bakery. A good selection of bread and pastries. The staff were very
friendly and patient (not rushing us to decide).
Tasting menu (Omakase) though quite a hefty penny is one of the best ways to go
here. There was 7 courses total including a dessert and I loved 6 out the 7
which included the tuna tartar, yellowtail sashimi, oyster with foi gras and
uni (OMG DELICOUS), the 5 piece tuna plate, wagyu beef/lobster and the
mango/passion fruit sorbet with dried yogurt… literally every dish was
delicious and i wish I had more servings of each.
Pizza is one of those polarizing foods. Everyone has deeply held convictions of
what it ought to be, their own Platonic Ideal of Pizza, from thinness of crust,
tartness of tomato sauce to quality of cheese. Most people have been eating it
regularly and often, frozen or out of a box, since before they can remember -
especially if “they”, ahem, are from New York, where “stopping for a slice” is
the equivalent of grabbing a bag of Doritos.
On a recent Saturday night after midnight we were turned down by both STK and
the Dutch because they had both just closed for the evening. Luckily, Mr. Chow
was happy to seat us.
Four course tasting menu and arepa is the (only) way to go. Ingredients are
fresh everyday and sourced from local purveyors. The best part is that you’re
basically sitting in the kitchen and get to watch the chef do his magic. Next
time we’ll bring our own wine.
First time eating soul food… my fabulous boss brought me here for a lunch
meeting. Needless to say, the “meeting” went out the window and we just chowed
down for a good hour. Red beans over rice, mac n cheese, cornbread, catfish…
I felt like I was in the movie, Soul Food (can I be Nia Long for a day?)
