A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Tried this restaurant in the Marina district in San Francisco. Would definitely come back.
First, their bread was really good. It was fresh, and the garlic butter in came with was great.
For drinks got an Aperol Spritz.
For appetizer, got the meatballs and the gnocchi. Both great.
For my main course, got the seafood linguini. Also great, but wished the scallops were the larger ones (they were just bay scallops).
Finished off with key lime pie. No complaints there.
This restaurant is part of Jean George’s restaurants (whose restaurant by the same name has two Michelin stars).
First, I’ll say all the food is great. Will definitely com back here again.
For drinks, got their version of a whisky sour. Definitely would get it again.
For appetizers, got a crab salad (not pictured below), corn soup, and a sashimi avocado lettuce wrap. All great.
For the main, got the clam linguini, as well as tried the chicken. Would get either dish again.
Overall, had a solid meal.
We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in Santorini. It was recommended by our AirBnb host.
In terms of atmosphere and view, I really liked this place. Got some great sunset pictures here.
For drinks, tasted the Macallen Amber for the first time (apparently it is a different type of “line” from the regular macallen). Honestly, couldn’t really see why it’s worth more than a Macallen 12.
For appetizers, we got the mixed salad, fried calamari, and Greek carpaccio (which is made out of sea bass instead of beef). I’d order all of them again.
For the main, got a lobster pasta. Also really good (although a bit El dente).
Overall, would come back. However, the group might feel a bit different because they didn’t like the service (and gave no tip).
A great Greek place at the east side of New York.
Got the octopus to share for appetizers (by far the best Octopus I have eaten). Then got the Seafood pasta (basically an awesome seafood linguini as pictured below).
First restaurant we went to at Hvar. We grabbed brunch here, and I have to say it was my best meal so far.
For food, got the linguini and added chicken. It came with a while mozzarella ball, and the sauce was really good.
For the drink, got a strawberry mojito (since they were out of mimosas). It was ok (would’ve really had a better experience with the mimosa lol).
Update (8/5/2021): we came back here for brunch at the last day in Hvar (thought it was that good). This time got brunch (scrambled eggs with bacon). Also got a mimosa (orange juice was hand made). Both were fantastic.
Great Italian restaurant. Although a sit down restaurant, it had really chill waiters and staff.
Started off the an espresso martini. Man was it the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! Got a lemon drop for my second drink.
For apps, we got bread and patatas bravas. Both great.
For my mains, had the French onion soup and the seafood linguini. Both excellent choices.
