A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Stopped by here for a late lunch. They had all sorts of cuisine, but mainly stuck with Italian.
For drinks got one of their vodka based drinks from their all day happy hour menu. I actually enjoyed it.
For lunch got the croquettes, pepperoni pizza (which was different because it had no tomato sauce, and had potatoes underneath the pepperoni), and the pesto pasta. All great choices (croquettes were a bit too salty though). Would come back again to try the other drinks and food.
Grabbed Saturday brunch with some friends from New York at this place.
Got an espresso martini without any sweetener plus an Aperol spritz. Both were great.
For food, got the pesto pasta, the pappardelle verde, potatoes, French toast, and mushroom sausage pizza. All of it was great, and would get them again.
This place is a chain with locations through New York. This location gets Hampton people going to it apparently.
Note: didn’t take any photos for some reason, so all the below pics are from yelp.
We twenty to this place for dinner because Jason Atherton (head chef of this restaurant) is a Michelin star chef.
This restaurant is in a resort in what we called the “rich” part of Mykonos. You NEED a reservation to get into the resort (it’s guarded by a gate).
For drinks, we got a white wine from Santorini. Also got something called The Avenger (which had a mix of Monkey Shoulder whisky, and some tomato sauce. Almost feel it was derived from a Caesar, but it’s not spicey.
For appetizers, we got a salmon dish, a ham dish, a dish with feta and vegetables in bread, and sea bass with pesto. All great and would get them again.
For the main, we got a medium cooked tomahawk steak, penne with pesto, a Greek salad, and some sort of fish dish. All were great.
For desert, got a white chocolate cake thing. It’s good in small doses (wouldn’t get one for myself).
We had a late lunch for our trip to Hilo, and fortunately this place was still open.
For drinks, had a Big Island Coffee (Kalua, macadamia nut liquor, creme de cocoa, baileys, and coffee). Also has a lychee rum martini. Both drink were great, and what I wanted 🙂
For the appetizer and starter, I had the clam chowder and see fried calamari. I thought the chowder was a bit too salty, and the calamari was too fried. Didn’t hate either of them though.
For the main course, I got the mandarin bbq pork ribs, with a side of pesto pasta. I enjoyed the ribs. The pasta tastes good, but I think the crushed nuts texture was a little weird (but like I said, tastes was good).
Lastly, thought the view in this restaurant was great.
This place I also went to a lot when I was in University. Unfortunately, except for the drink I got, the food was not up to par (I’m willing to go back, but definitely will order other things).
I got the lychee lemonade, which of course was great because of the lychee in it.
For my main food I got the French onion soup (or good at all), and the Pesto chicken fettuccini (which was ok, but not ordering it again).
