Ok, so at the risk of losing all credibility and coming off as a wishy washy
guy who cannot stick with a decision, here is my new review. We all know the
politicians that stick with their original plan/thought/platform win, even if
their platform is borderline retarded like George Bush’s was. Others, like
John Kerry and Romney recently, who went back and forth come off like idiots
who cannot lead and are not ones to be listened to. Ok, after that annoying
introduction that has nothing…
I am always skeptical of a place in Times Sq/Hell’s Kitchen.. overpriced and
poor quality usually. But given we were going to watch a show so this location
worked really well!
Love this place. Quality of food always delivers. The wait stinks but I have
never had an issue eating at the bar. Fun drink menu too.
Loved it! This felt like one of those restaurants perfectly matched to my food
tastes. We just clicked! I will definitely be back.
Authentic and excellent Mexican grub. A simple menu, mostly tacos with a few
platters. Very good selection of starters though. Our waiter brought extra
chips and salsa when he noticed we were near the end of our order but still had
guac left. Little things like that do not go unnoticed.
If I didn’t know it already, the star of any meal at Ubuntu is the vegetables.
We started with a chilled soup as an amuse bouche. It was a clear broth, with
pea carcasses and asparagus, topped with green garlic and an edible flower. It
was bracingly cold and salty.
I’m writing this about two weeks after my visit here and I have been thinking
about the Arepa ever since…
If you complain about the price, then there’s something wrong with your taste
buds. Period. This isn’t Ben&Jerry’s - you can’t eat a pint in one sitting.
Out of the five dishes we ordered including dessert, I was satisfied by all and
extremely impressed by most, which is rarely the case even at non-vegetarian
restaurants.
This might just be my favorite restaurant in Philly and I will definitely be
coming back!
Village Whiskey, a place famous (rightly so) for their burger. I’ll get there,
don’t worry… but first I’d like to bring up the restaurant’s namesake: Their
whiskey/scotch/bourbon/rye selection is outstanding! And the special bartenders
there know a thing or twenty about what they are serving. They prepare the
whiskey to perfection– neat, rocks, Old Fashioned, Vieux Carre… their Old
Fashioned is one of the best made in the city. Also note, I love…
I sat at the bar and had 2 items from the pre-fixe menu… and I was
immediately convinced that I would return for the entire pre-fixe menu when I
find myself on the lower east side again.
Made a trip to Little Italy on a whim to try this place out, and I’m super glad
we did. The old Baricelli Inn has been completely remodeled, and the
surroundings are beautiful. The drink/wine list is great…and the food was
delicious.
This place used to be a coffee shop in its last life. When we lived in Mar
Vista, my wife and I used to frequent it.So, when it opened up as an “upscale”
restaurant, we thought we give it a try.
Our strategic planner scheduled our late night sojourn to Whiskey Soda Lounge
the night before Pok Pok, serving both as preview to its parent and a fair
chance to appreciate it on its own terms. Opened by the same team as Pok Pok,
the charmingly ramshackle Lounge is often treated as their glorified waiting
room, which is unfortunate because it is better enjoyed as a separate entity.
I took my parents on a family vacation to New Orleans, I looked for places that
they may enjoy and they are big fans of friend chicken. I called in advance to
make sure their sides were meat free and most of them were, I was happy to hear
that their red beans and rice are safe, I am cool with just that.
Rodilanders, take your guests here for the scenery, the chicken, and the fries.
Order them not to waste precious stomach space on the pasta. Just chicken &
fries–and a little salad if you want. Wright’s is a gigantic banquet hall in
the middle of nowhere, which, when you’re in Rhode Island, is still just
minutes away from civilization.
Came here at 2pm for lunch. Had heard great things about Rick Bayless, and was
not disappointed. The wait was about 45 minutes for my party of 4. They have a
weird, strict order of doing things. Wait in line, wait for your table, then
you order, and then you can sit and they’ll bring you food.
The first time I want to this place I felt like part of their family. Please
know that you have a loyal costumer for life!!!!!
Jitlada Thai is a hidden gem in the dodgy neighborhood. The menu offers many
different non-generic (pad thai, panang curry, and so on) options, so it’s
perfect for ur fellow Yelper to new discover new favorites.
I just realized I have never written a review even though I have been eating
here for over a year now. So, here it goes.
