One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish…

May 18, 2012

I couldn’t resist the Dr. Seuss reference. It had been far too long since I had last seen Mara. November, in fact. We’ve tried numerous times to get together but somehow the 30 miles between us just kept getting in the way. Last night, we decided to change that by meeting halfway for dinner at [...]

It Takes Two To Tango Sur

May 14, 2012

Pretty much anyone you ask who has been to Tango Sur raves about the food and laments over the long waits (“but it’s worth it!”).

May 6, 2012

What a whirlwind weekend it has been! Nonstop action, but all good things. It started with a birthday golf match!

Slurping Turtle

March 1, 2012

I know you should never judge a book by its cover, and the same should be said for restaurants. That said, I’m guilty of both. So it came as no surprise that when the opportunity to try Slurping Turtle came my way, I couldn’t say no. The name, the logo…how could I resist? Slurping Turtle [...]

Japonais

February 25, 2012

Thank you all for the input on my restaurant week post! Last night’s meal at Japonais was great. My friend Lauren was my dinner buddy for the evening. After checking out the poll for the appetizers, it looked as though the Crispy Shrimp & Salmon Maki or the Lobster Rolls (I’m looking at you, Erica!) [...]
