La Tagliatella

Great Italian restaurant.

We had a pitcher of the Prosecco Sangria. It’s sweeter than regular Sangria, which I definitely like better.

We also got house bread which we mixed with olive oil and parmesan cheese. Mmmm.

For my main course, I got the Lomo Cosenza. It’s this pork tenderloin dish with a sweet thick sauce. I cleaned the plate!

Yard House

I’m surprised I have not posted about this place before.

To start, we got the Poke Nachos. They are a bit spicy, but overall, very delicious.

For my main I got the Lobster Garlic Noodle. It was a sizeable portion, and although I told myself I would not finish it, I ended up eating the while thing.

We also ordered beers, but honestly, don’t quite remember which one (they were also Oktoberfest specials). In the past I’ve also had some of their sweet martinis and old fashions, which are all very good.

Update 5/5/2019: I got the Vodka shrimp pasta, which I’ve had several times before. It’s great because you can choose the smaller sized portion, which makes it a lighter entry. Definitely recommend it.

Also, we got the lumpia shanghai to start as an appetizer. Don’t remember if it was great, but I believe I would get it again.

BJs

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).
