Checked it out this morning for the first time. At 9:30 on a Sunday the place was packed, and they couldn't get the donuts made fast enough!  This has got to be a good problem to have for a business that's only been open a couple days.  When I got to…More »

What a great way to spend your last night as a 34 year old.  Seriously one of the best meals I've ever had.  I really didn't pay attention to the lovely space and ambiance because I was seriously digging the food.  Wow.  

You know how to get me to…More »

Review  based on a late lunch Sunday.  Sundays Salut has a pretty extensive brunch menu with several breakfast and lunch options.  We each got the soup of the day.  Have no idea the name, but it was chicken broth with veggies, macaroni noodles, with…More »

Was very happy to see the old Twig's store quickly turned around into a much needed local Aveda salon in the 'hood! Scheduled a lip/brow wax for this afternoon. It's what you'd expect from an Aveda salon...hip looking stylists. good music, calming…More »

This is a pretty cool place to visit every once in awhile, or if you want to feel fancy and hip. This is one of those bars where everyone is looking around at what everyone else is doing, drinking, and wearing (and I totally admit, I did that a…More »

Stopped here because I was craving Jimmy John's, but this one was on the way home. Really, isn't this and Big Mike's, Jimmy Johns, Erbert and Gerberts all the same thing? I'm sure I've just offended a bunch of die hards. My apologies. All I know is…More »

Like others, I was very happy to see a neighborhood wine bar in this space, and the kitchen's open late too! Arrived at 10 after a concert, and it was relatively busy and a litle loud. Outside seating ends at 10, so we sat in a small lounge area…More »

I'm a self-admitted nerd, and haven't found a Library I don't like, but Central Library is tops. Even if you're not into the whole reading thing, take a field trip to see the building. It's lovely, with tons of windows and natural lighting. There's a…More »

  Update - 3/15/2010 ROTD 3/13/2011

Two words - bottomless mimosa.  Two more, chocolate fountain.  The brunch food was incredible.  Much better than the last time I went for brunch (and even then the food was good).  The options were inventive and unique.   Homemade fennel sausage,…More »
