1. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-7358
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
I cannot rave about this restaurant enough. Fantastic! We did the $75 tasting menu at the counter - like some others I thought sitting at the counter was a bit weird at first but I quickly adjusted to it. Beautiful dark interior. It was a lot of fun…More »
2. Chef Mavro
Honolulu, HI 96826
(808) 944-4714
Categories:
Hawaiian,
Asian Fusion,
French
Neighbourhood: Moilili
Long overdue review... We visited in November and Chef Mavro was the culinary highlight of our trip. The restaurant itself is small and seems out of place from the outside. I guess I just expected it to be a little closer to the tourist area but I'm…More »
3. Charlie Palmer
Went to the Pride Mountain wine series dinner on 1/20... I am torn here because I want there always to be room for us at these dinners and if I rave about how good it was, well... you know where I'm going here.
The night started at 6pm with a mini…More »

Hubby and I went to Charlie Palmer's for a late lunch a week ago for an absolutely superb lunch!

4. French 75 Bistro & Champagne Bar
3/10/12 - Frank Family Vineyard dinner at French 75 and one of the best Saturday nights I've had in a while.
Yet another place that I've been meaning to visit but for one reason or another, it just hadn't happened. I'd been to both of the other…More »
5. Palace Arms
Denver, CO 80202
(303) 297-3111
Categories:
American (Traditional),
American (New)
Neighbourhoods: Northwest, CBD
Since we did a trendy dinner on our first night in Denver, I wanted to go the more traditional route for dinner #2. Most of the Yelp reviews have it right. It's definitely a special occasion restaurant... it's a little old school... don't expect a…More »
6. Hoku's
Last official stop on our culinary tour of Honolulu. Since we were staying at the Kahala, I thought it only make sense to eat there as well. After all, we had no car and Hoku's gets excellent reviews.
Absolutely no disappointment here. We made same…More »
7. Irene's Cuisine
Everything they say about Irene's is pretty much true. Show up really early or really late to avoid some of the wait, you'll be able to smell the restaurant from a block away and lastly, the food is completely worth it. We've been wanting to visit…More »
8. SEABLUE by Michael Mina
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-3486
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
Between this restaurant and Stonehill Tavern in Orange County I think I'm finally able to forgive Michael Mina for a less than stellar meal at his namesake restaurant at the Bellagio.
We made reservations for a Thursday night before a long weekend…More »
9. Bradley Ogden
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 731-7413
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: The Strip
Yum. We went for a pre anniversary dinner in July and Bradley Ogden quickly became my new favorite restaurant. I did the prix fixe menu and so happy that I did! Did the Caesar salad, Halibut and then PB&J bread pudding. Each course was perfect!…More »
10. West Restaurant + Bar
Vancouver, BC V6H 3J4
Canada
(604) 738-8938
Categories:
Restaurants,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: Fairview Slopes, South Granville
On our once-yearly pilgrimage back home to BC (Port Moody, specifically), hubby and I make a point of planning a meal to do on our own, halfway through our trip. This serves two purposes. First off, Vancouver has some AMAZING culinary gems the we…More »
11. Lumiere Restaurant - CLOSED
On our last visit to Vancouver (we're originally from there but moved away ten years ago) we made a pact to visit one really nice restaurant while in town. Like the procrastinators we are, we went shopping downtown and then on the fly decided to pop…More »
12. Joël Robuchon
Las Vegas, NV 89109
(702) 891-7925
Category:
French
Neighbourhoods: The Strip, Eastside
This is one of those restaurants that gets me really excited to write a review. Looking back at my pictures, I'm already looking forward to another visit.
We opted for the six course menu - $240 per person which includes: an amuse bouche, appetizer,…More »
13. Bouchon
Made reservations for a Sunday lunch and just like the Bouchon in Vegas, we were not disappointed.
We arrived a couple minutes early and were promptly seated inside. The restaurant itself is smaller than I imagined but comfortable and well lit. The…More »
14. WP24
Los Angeles, CA 90015
(213) 743-8800
Category:
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I was expecting good not great, but in the end I was a little blown away by my experience at WP24. I don't typically like Asian fusion but Wolfgang definitely gets it right here.
Hubby and I were staying at the Ritz and wanted to get a good food…More »
15. Spago
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
(310) 385-0880
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Beverly Hills
I cannot say enough great things about this place. I've been here a couple of times before but the last time we were here my hubby looked over and told me that Wolfgang was actually in the restaurant. I have to admit I was a little star struck as Mr.…More »
16. Bistro Laurent
The culinary highlight of my past weekend trip to Paso. Bistro Laurent is warm and cozy, especially on a rainy night and even more so if having a meal with your special someone...
On our waiter's suggestion, we closed our menu and just let them bring…More »
17. Marché Moderne
I'm not even kidding with the overzealous 5 star review. Hubby and I hit up Marche Moderne before the Charlie Palmer cellar sale today and were totally blown away. Wow. All those people with less than a 4* review can suck it.
What we loved:
The BEST…More »
18. Commander's Palace Restaurant
My hubby and I just returned from our annual trip to New Orleans. The morning after arriving we figured - what better way to celebrate our arrival into town then by hitting up Commander's Palace for lunch. We've been to CPR before but for dinner. If…More »
19. Cyrus
This place is five star all the way and the only reason I would question their 2 Michelin stars is because I kind of wonder if they are making their way to achieving that elusive and honored third star.
Yes, we liked Cyrus that much.
On our last…More »
20. Stonehill Tavern
To celebrate a week of "wins" we finally headed down to Stonehill Tavern after having canceled reservations there on at least two occasions. What can I say? Things come up and Dana Point seems much further away then it really is.
First of all... what…More »
21. La Toque
You'd think we wouldn't have room after doing an early lunch at French Laundry but somehow we ended up at La Toque (we had reservations before we knew we were confirmed at FL) for a late dinner and managed to do another much, much smaller tasting.
We…More »
22. Watermarc Restaurant
Hubby and I were heading down to Laguna for the night and made the very smart choice of eating a nice dinner before meeting our friends. I call it "getting a base" before a night of drinking. We called last minute and got a table, drove quickly…More »
23. The French Laundry
I think everyone who has eaten at the French Laundry has a story or memories that seem slightly magical to them. This is one of those places that foodies like myself long to visit and hope to God that we won't be disappointed when we finally do.
I…More »
24. Tradition by Pascal
Most definitely the highlight of the restaurants we selected for OC Restaurant Week...
Instead of doing the restaurant week menu we opted for one of the pricier ones. I had the wild mushroom and duck confit feuillete followed by the lobster bisque and…More »
25. Bottega Ristorante
Best Bolognese EVER. Impeccable service. Now that we actually made a reservation for New Years Eve day, we sat in the dining room. Great ambiance. Warm and inviting on such a cold day! We will definitely be back and I'm sooooo glad that I found the…More »

26. Gautreau's Restaurant
Decided to have round two at Gautreau's on our most recent trip to New Orleans and am very, very happy to say that I wasn't the least bit disappointed. You know how it is when you build something up in your mind?
If anything, I love Gautreau's even…More »

27. La Mer
There's no better start to a fabulous vacation then having a kick ass first dinner. As usual, I researched it and La Mer kept coming up as one of the best restaurants in Waikiki. So naturally...
Hubby and I each did the three course tasting menu. For…More »
