Dragonfly

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.

Ondine

We ate here for our last night at Edinburgh. Would come back here in a heart beat.

First started off with an espresso martini. Not the greatest but would still get it again (told them to remove their custom sugar syrup from the drink, which probably affected the taste). Then got a Cragganmore 12. Slightly peaty, but nit more than an Oban.

For appetizers, got the asparagus with crab meat, and the scallops. Hands down would get all of them again.

For the main, we got the see food platter (warm version). Would get it again as well (but you need a friends to be able to eat the oysters and mussels first you). It came with clams, mussels, crab, lobster, a baby lobster, razor blade clams (which are amazing).

Ended off with a cheesecake. Also really great.

Cafe Vergnano

After arriving at Old Town San Diego, we headed to this place for a caffeine boost.

This place had a really interesting coffee menu, with most of choices for lattes and mochas. I ended U.K. getting the iced hazelnut latte. Too be honest, I would get one of the mochas next time, but I still enjoyed the latte.
