The Jerk House

I would come back here again. Not every day I try something Jamaican.

Their alcohol collection is only beer and wine, so I got a chardonnay.

For the main course, I got the jerk chicken (small portion, which was jus right). It was a bit spicey, but still manageable. It also came with some really good tasting plantains. The rice was a bit drier than I was expecting. Overall, I enjoyed the meal.

Chubby Noodles

Overall, good food.

For drinks, I got a flight of sake (for next time, I would probably get the other flight that has the milky sake in it, which started with “No body’s …”). Of course, usually I can’t tell the difference between different sakes.

For the main we got the spicy garlic noodles with chicken (it wasn’t actually really spiced), the chubby fried chicken (which basically reminded me of chicken karaage), pork ribs (tasted good), and this salmon dish (which I think had some sort of cheese in the middle, which was also good).

Urban Tavern

Overall, not sure if I would come back to this place. The atmosphere was great, but it was a bit pricey and the food was meh.

The drink I started off with was the Harvest Martini. It was basically a pear martini, and I think I expected it to be sweeter (I don’t think I’ll get it again). The second drink I got, which was a cosmo, was good.

This place had good “small plates”. We got the chicken meatballs and the pork belly waffles. The chicken meatballs came with basically a sauce that was hot sauce, and blue cheese (I’m not a huge fan of hot sauce, and a huger not fan of blue cheese). The pork belly waffles were great though.

For the main, I got the pastrami spiced pork tenderloin. Honestly, it wasn’t that great (a bit dry, and the taste was meh). The Jidori Peking chicken on the other hand was good (I should’ve got that).

For dessert, we got the s’mores sundae. That was really good.
