I may have to create a new list for places like Bistro La Bon...I think I may call it "Nom Fest" because I was in absolute heaven during their Sunday smorgasbord brunch.

Fran, your food is filling. So filling. And sooo delicious. Hubs and I dropped by for a casual dinner and pretty much ordered way too much. Big shocker, I know, but really we couldn't help ourselves. The menu was filled with comfort food goodness.

Seize the day and get your hungry self over to Carpe Diem. While Carpe Diem is a little fancy pants to just roll into with jorts and a Dale Jr. tee, make the effort. It's a lovely restaurant- beautifully appointed and as Julia S points out - stellar…More »
Definitely still a big fan of Vivace. It definitely is (still) one of the best looking restaurants in town with a sweet patio and *stunning* upstairs lounge area. If you're seeking a private party space you must check out that second floor.

Well, it's a good thing I wore a flowy dress and an adjustable slide belt to dinner at Nakato. Not only did my belt "adjust" on its own, but hubs and I took home a combined box of leftovers that fed us for a few meals afterwards, too!
I was craving…More »
