So there I was: chillin' in a Cabana with a firepit in front of me. No roof. I look up in to the sky and see only palm trees in the background. I really tend to forget that I live in San Diego, and then every once in a while - I'll stumble upon a…More »

Greatly enjoyed my dining experience at JRDN! I bet this would be an amazing place to get dinner around sunset since it is literally on the beach. Gorgeous. Only complaint is that their new menu is quite confusing and hard to decipher though...

Sansu has THE BEST sushi I've ever had. I went to Tokyo last summer, and left craving Sansu from good ol EL. :)
Their spicy mayo sauce is amazing. You must try it. They make it fresh everyday. It's very grainy and full of flavor, unlike any of that…More »

I am picky about my sushi. Call me a cheater, but I love all non-traditional sushi. [Not to worry, they have the real traditional stuff, too] You know, the Americanized, tempura-ed, spicy mayo-ed, artsy creation yummy goodness that is rarely found…More »
OMG, I died and went to amazing fusion heaven. (Repeating my tip)
Forrealz. This chef knows whats up. Pretty small portions, but a great spin on traditional "thalis" as well as tapas. Delightful fusion of Indian, Morrocan, Mid-eastern spices. People…More »
Great place to grab a drink. Awesome beer selection, with a cozy vibe. Winter cabin-type feel. Large communal picnic tables.
This place gets pretty busy at night, but an awesome vibe with music in the background and a lively scene. Perfect type of…More »

What can I say about George's that hasn't been said?
The view is great. Wait no, the view is AMAZING.
The food is great. Most of their menu is very contemporary-dining.
If you go for lunch - get the Open-faced pita or the Farroh salad. Both are…More »

This review is for the brunch - I didn't stay at this hotel.
Ocean view + bottomless mimosas + bottomless brunch + chocolate fountain (and a dessert bar) = gluttonous brunch
I'm talking, every kind of gourmet food you can imagine: fresh shrimp, crab,…More »

Cool vibe. Kind of reminds of me of a "PF Changs-like" aura. Affordable food amidst all of the Santa Monica glam.
I would not recommend the Jacob's Creek Merlot, it was way too watery for my taste.
Tip: try the green tea tiramisu! Unique and abundant…More »

One of the classiest (and delicious) Thai restaurants that I've ever been to! In PB...who woulda thought? The golden decor is extremely elegant, without being gaudy. If you don't love this place, then you simply don't have an…More »
This is one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever dined at in the US. Period. This is not the "glorified" Indian food that is usually seen at restaurants. This is probably what I would at home. The real deal!

Oh, Serafina. You have managed to seduce me with your dim lights, live music, and wide array of wine selection. I have managed to fall in love with you with just one encounter. Regardless of who I was actually here…More »
Thai Kitchen holds a special place in my heart. In reality, this place is a 3.5 rating...but the extra is for four years of entertainment the owner provided us. I have so many fond memories at this wonderful, family owned establishment. It's a local…More »
This little gem in Nolita is always packed with good reason. Everything about my experience here was impressive, and from my point of view: very authentically delicious. They don't bother with typical expensive Manhattan decor, although an extremely…More »

2.5 stars, to be exact. But the experience is worth it.
Let me make it easy for you: come here knowing you're not (over)paying for the quality and selection, but for the celebrity sightings. The drinks are pretty good, though.
Once you make peace with…More »
