1. Per Se
New York, NY 10019
(212) 823-9335
Category:
French
Neighborhoods: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown West
I am not going to write a long review on Per Se even though I could. I think it is something you have to experience on your own. Every bite was incredible and left you wanting them to give you larger portions. We ended up having more like 12 courses…More »
2. Daniel
For my 29th birthday last year I started a tradition of eating at ultra-fine dining establishments. Last year it was Per Se. And this year it was Daniel. Unfortunately once a year isn't enough so I'm probably going to start finding reasons to do it…More »
3. Canlis
Seattle, WA 98109
(206) 283-3313
Categories:
American (New),
Seafood
Neighborhood: Queen Anne
I usually find myself waking up on a Saturday with 10-13 places in my queue to review from the past week and start knocking out reviews. Usually when I start them during the week I just enter random text, like "dfdggd", and save it to be reviewed for…More »
4. Restaurant Matisse
If they gave out Michelin stars in Victoria Restaurant Matisse would get one if not two. My buddy and I came her for our third and final night in a row of four course French dinners. Considering the first two were Brasserie and Brio it had stiff…More »
5. Restaurant Zoë
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 256-2060
Categories:
American (New),
Bars
Neighborhood: Central District
I came here again last Tuesday to verify my dine around Seattle experience last month. For the second time I had a great dinner here. I had the gnudi, small plate risotto, halibut, and brownie sundae.
One thing that was a bit off compared to the…More »

I went to Zoe for a dine around Seattle dinner with two female friends on Monday night. It was epic.… Read more »
6. The Salish Lodge Dining Room
Snoqualmie, WA 98068
(425) 888-2556
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (New)
*This is way too long, read at your own peril and don't bill me for the lost years of your life. To sum it all up, why haven't you gone here already?*
Oh Salish Lodge Dining Room how I love you. This has to be one of my absolute favorite places to…More »
7. Tocqueville
New York, NY 10003
(212) 647-1515
Categories:
American (New),
French
Neighborhoods: Union Square, Flatiron
I go to Tocqueville every time I am in New York. I will start off by admitting that it is a bit stuffy. But that is because of the older clientele that frequents the place. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is very consistent and they…More »
8. Cafe Brio
Oh Cafe Brio how we love you! This was my third time going to Cafe Brio and it was incredible yet again. It was our second night of three straight nights of four course French dinners in Victoria and it definitely stepped it up a notch from Brasserie…More »

I am surprised by the overall review score for this place. This is on my list of favorite… Read more »
9. Red Hot
Here is what I was thinking when I went into Red Hot:
Hot dogs are evil. I hate hot dogs. I trust Susan S. Hot dogs are the bane of my existence. Do I really trust Susan S.? How did I end up in Tacoma to try a hot dog?
Then I started off with a…More »
10. Esther's Place
OK this place was amazing! My buddy found it on Yelp when we were staying with a friend a two-minute drive away. After our first visit we ate here every chance we got. We always ordered the combination sandwich, shake, and salad. The sandwich was…More »
11. Johny's Luncheonette
New York, NY 10001
(212) 243-6230
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Diners,
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhood: Chelsea
Johny's is like my home away from home. Every time I am in NYC (every two to three months for a couple weeks) I come to Johny's every weekday for breakfast (usually around 12-3 pm). He's such a nice guy and the food is always great and cheap. I…More »
12. Freemans Restaurant
New York, NY 10002
(212) 420-0012
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
American (New)
Neighborhood: Lower East Side
Cons:
- No reservations and popularity = a long wait
- It's super crowded inside and quite loud
- Dessert was mediocre
If it weren't for those cons Freemans would get five stars from me. Even the spinach side I ordered was just about the best spinach I…More »
13. Maximilien Restaurant
4.5 stars.
You know that stress when you set up a group dinner for 6-7 people? You know how you aren't sure how many people will show up? How you wonder how the restaurant will handle the invariable change to the reservation right before the dinner…More »
14. Chez Shea
I'm going to have to take off one star. I've probably been to Chez Shea 8-10 times. And while I still think it's a really cute restaurant I'm not as in love with it as I was before. It's still a top choice for me in Seattle, not that that says much…More »

15. Penelope
New York, NY 10016
(212) 481-3800
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighborhoods: Midtown East, Kips Bay
I was thinking about Penelope this morning while wishing I was back in NYC and realized I hadn't reviewed it yet. Clearly I needed to right that wrong. I have only been there for brunch, but I love their brunch. I'm going to lose some man points for…More »
16. The Pink Door
A friend came by on a Saturday afternoon to stay over so we could hike Mt. Si on Sunday. We decided that since we were hiking the next day we should head out into the city and enjoy some good food as a pre-hike treat. I had been meaning to go to the…More »
17. Marine Room Restaurant
I have to say I really wish we could have this kind of place in Seattle or in NYC. But since we don't I'll have to settle for stopping by the Marine Room and other restaurants on or by the ocean when visiting San Diego.
I haven't gone through a lot…More »
18. Mo:le
I am going to have to knock Mo:le down one star. We came here yesterday after arriving in Victoria. I had the spelt pancakes (with banana embedded into it) and some cranberry juice.
The cranberry juice had a lot of sugar in it but I have come to…More »

19. Frankies 17
New York, NY 10002
(212) 253-2303
4.5 stars. This place has the best Italian food I have ever had in my life. I'm not an Italian food aficionado, but I've eaten two thousand too many Italian plates covered with sauce so creamy and rich that every bite made my stomach hurt.
Frankies…More »
20. ReBar Modern Food
Victoria, BC V8W 1T7
Canada
(250) 361-9223
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Breakfast & Brunch
Oh ReBar how I want to love you more. You make pretty good vegetarian food and some great fruit drinks and smoothies. But you charge quite a bit for your food and it just isn't quite worth the price.
First of all, I will say that I stop here multiple…More »

21. Quinn's
Seattle, WA 98122
(206) 325-7711
Categories:
American (New),
Pubs
Neighborhood: Capitol Hill
I wish every place could be awesome, I really do. Can you imagine how nice it would be if everywhere you went was great? You wouldn't worry about whether or not a place was good, you'd just decide what kind of food and experience you wanted that…More »
