Beautiful presentation, and dishes that capture the essence of the foods. I enjoyed my "iron yam" salad (a roasted yam salad with some wonderful greens and a vegan dressing)--hearty and complex flavors, wonderfully fiiling. I wanted to have more…More »
I have always enjoyed my visits to the Natural Cafe, whether at Santa Barbara, Ventura, or my first time here today in SLO. My choice of dish was the natural tamale, built with pinto beans, corn, green chiles and garic wrapped in corn masa topped…More »
I was inspired to visit the Galaxie by my reading of James Martin's "Calgary: secrets of the city" (Arsenal Pulp Press, 1999). For whatever reason, I had envisioned a much larger place, especially to bring shelter during the colder times. However,…More »

My friend and I were starving from driving all day from the SF Bay Area, and were ready to scarf down some major grub. So glad to have Canter's as the answer to my hunger. So my friend ordered a half sandwich and soup, oh I'm not wanting to guess the…More »
Very nice ambiance, some good lunch specials, especially the bento boxes. Although the food isn't screamingly impressive, RA Sushi makes for a mod-looking place to chill with friends and have a bite of sushi.

Love the aebelskiver! enjoyed this last summer, will come back again and hopefully bring friends.
Probably the best bagels I've ever had in my life--had some during a visit to Youngstown summer 2003. Of course, there are not many places that come this close to good bagels on the West Coast.
Even if Thai Express is mall food per se, it's probably some of the freshest I've had in a long time, prepared right in front of my eyes. For our lunch, my friend had some spicy fried rice, while I had the veggie pad sew on the spicy side. I always…More »
This joint seems to be Calgary's answer to the ubiquitous Lee's Sandwiches chain dotting much of the west coast of the U.S. Fresh ingredients, lots of flavor, lots of options for additions such as chilis, different sauces, etc. Soups and salads in…More »
