A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this bar on Waikiki beach before dinner.
Had their signature drunk, the Ali’i Mai Tai. Overall, tasted great (didn’t taste too much of the rum, and just be right sweetness). I will say $40 for it is pretty high (but not a dealbreaker).
Also tried the royal hawaiian mai tai. Also pretty good, but you can definitely taste the rum in it.
For a small app, got the mushroom arancini.
This is apparently the oldest cocktail bar in Edinburgh.
Got the Whisky Away drink. It seemed like it would have been an old fashion with a banana twist, but it was not as sweet as expected, which I was kind of disappointed.
My friend got the Ka Pao Tao (or something like that) drink, which I thought was great.
Also tried their cheese plate. The Scottish brie was pretty terrible, but I did like the Scottish Gouda.
We went on a Tuesday night so vibe was pretty dead. So maybe would go back on a Thursday or Friday night.
So I don’t remember too much of this place (came here after a solid night of drinking at Vince’s place), however, we ordered a couple of small dishes (2 of them are below), plus some champagne (which was $99). I did like the ambience of the place, and would definitely want to come back (I recall they had a restaurant part and a more “bar-ish” part).
Another great Italian place. Most people here were a bit dressed up (so we slightly stood out, but that was not an issue).
We started at the bar. I got two drinks, the first one was spot on (just the right amount of sweetness, and it was also very refreshing). Unfortunately I do not recall what the drink was called (it is on their cocktail list). I believe it was rum based.
For appetizers, we got the calamari. For my main dish, I got the lobster ravioli. Both were great, but I would try another main dish next time I visited (but as mentioned the ravioli was delicious).
