"Aaaaahhh" that is literally the unintentional sound I make when I walk into bookstores... kinda weird and embarassing, but for some reason there are few places on eart that make me as happy, relaxed, and stomach-turning-excited as a bookstore.

We have frequented Vivande a handful of times and although have enjoyed the wine menu and delicious pastas, my past few experiences have been less than stellar.

A girlfriend of mine and I recently had an early dinner here- she was not drinking and…More »

Good pizza- definitely believe most can die happy prior to trying...

There's something about the ambiance that kind of gets to me...bright lights make it feel like your'e eating in a cafeteria.

I prefer taking this pizza out and eating it in the…More »

Can't believe I haven't reviewed Dinos!  

Yes this is a "heavy hitter" neighborhood in terms of high end restaurants, but when you want just a tad casual, fulfilling Italian food, this corner joint is the place to go.

Pizza is good, but I highly…More »

  Update - 10/12/2009

I do not deviate from my go-to fish and chips at Woodhouse.  They are just that good.

I did manage to persuade the bf to deviate from his usual with an order of Fribs (fish ribs).  Those things are awesome!  Who'd have thunk there was a fish that…More »

Phenomenal.  

You're right, I am neither conoisseur of Indian food (South Indian to be even more specific), nor does anyone truly care about my opinion; but here's what I am:

Do you just need someone to tell you how to divvy your paycheck so you're actually living life and saving for a better one?

When I first began earning a steady paycheck, I had no idea what to do.  I knew I shouldn't go blow the whole thing, but I…More »

My numero uno evaluation of sushi restaurants is sashimi.  How it's cut, and how cold it's served.

Osaka cuts THICK slabs of sashimi, but seemingly in the wrong direction which salmon sashimi should be cut? I can't explain...instead of melt in mouth,…More »

The one thing I haven't done at Long Bar is eat, but through service, vibe alone, they merit 4 stars.

Have recently discovered Tuesday night trivia.  Good size crowd, good MC, not too drawn out... everything you'd want in a trivia night.

I really wanted to like this place...

Papaya salad entree was good- possibly one of the better papaya salads i've had in the hood.  All downhill from there...

Aside from the fact our two entrees were served literally 10 minutes apart, I found the food…More »
