A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Went to this fancy restaurant as the last dinner of my New York trip.
For starters, we got the seafood appetizer platter. Could not go wrong with it.
For my main, got the braised beef. Also a great choice.
For dessert, got the apple crumbled with ice cream. Also great.
Nothing bad to say about this restaurant’s food (my first cocktail though I didn’t like so much, but their old fashion made up for it).
Hit this chain up while in Calgary. I originally wanted to check out the one in 8th or 10th (since they’re the one la that have he games), but they were closed (for Canada Day).
For a drink, I got an old fashioned. It was definitely one of the better ones I’ve had. For my meal, I got the Alberta Beef short rib bowl. It was almost like a Korean bipimbip, and it tasted delicious.
An American restaurant I keep coming back to, mainly since they have a lot of variety, and they have plenty of drink selections (they have a blender plus happy hour!).
This time around I got an old fashioned and the Deep dish ziti. The old fashioned usually has about two shots of alcohol in it, although admittedly it isn’t the best old fashioned.
The deep dish ziti is basically like a meat lovers pizza in pasta form (and I’ve definitely re-ordered it multiple times).
I would come back to this place, but probably stick to the appetizers.
For a drink, I got an old fashioned and a something else (which I can’t remember he name or whether it was good. Hmm ;)).
For appetizers, we got the poutine, calamari and Mac and cheese. All of them but the poutine I would get again.
For the main course, I got the pork shoulder. It was ok, but I would choose something else to eat for next time.
Update (6/8/18): I got the Fried chicken, and I gotta say that it was pretty good. Also, I tried the dennoginizer double IPA (suggested by Yuriy), and I will definitely come back for it.
Update (6/8/18): 
This place was great! The drinks were good for the most part, and I would definitely come back. All the cocktails were $14. (In terms of atmosphere though, for a tiki bar, it is a bit under decorated).
I started off with the tuk tuk tea. According to mark, it reminded him of Thai iced tea. Initially I though it was meh, but mixing the drink is key. After mixing it, it tasted amazing.
After, I tried the pornstar martini. It was pretty good (it also came with a side shot of vodka, which I basically poured little by little into the drink as a drank it).
The last drink I got was the miso old fashioned. It was alright, and I could get it again. However, I did think it tasted a bit watered down.
Other drinks I tried (no pics) were the Ko’olina swizzle. This drink was great, and I would definitely order it again. I also tried the banana stand, and that was pretty gross (it was wayyy to sweet, which is saying something since I usually like sweet drinks).
