Vino Santo Bistro

Another great Italian place. Most people here were a bit dressed up (so we slightly stood out, but that was not an issue).

We started at the bar. I got two drinks, the first one was spot on (just the right amount of sweetness, and it was also very refreshing). Unfortunately I do not recall what the drink was called (it is on their cocktail list). I believe it was rum based.

For appetizers, we got the calamari. For my main dish, I got the lobster ravioli. Both were great, but I would try another main dish next time I visited (but as mentioned the ravioli was delicious).

May’s Vietnamese Restaurant

Shouldn’t be a surprised I ordered the pad Thai. Although unfortunately I won’t be getting it again at this pace. It was super salty. I should try the pho or some sort of vermicelli dish next time.

I will say though the fried rice that came with someone else dish was pretty good. Although they did comment they thought the meet was old.

The Striped Pig

Ended up here on a Friday night. We ordered 4 dishes between two people, which was enough. Overall, the dishes were pretty good, but the portion size was a bit small for the price. However, I’d still come back and order all of the same dishes.

For drinks, I got the Nonna’s Kiss (which was very tasty and sweet, and I like how the texture was a bit foamy/smoothy like), and the midnight fog (it was a tad bit too sweet, but I’d still get it again).

For the dishes, we got the wings (chicken was surprisingly not dry for wings, and the side sauce was good), the summer salad, the spinach dip, and the flat iron steak (got this one medium, which was the right decision).

Kemuri Japanese Baru

This place was awesome for several reasons. One, it has a full bar, and two, the food was great (but not cheap).

For drinks, I ordered the Kemuri Manhattan ( I gotta say it was a bit too Smokey for my taste). My second drink, however, was amazing. It was the RWC Breeze (Vidka, April, pineapple juice). It was just the right amount of sweetness and tasted refreshing.

For the main dishes, we ordered the soft shell crab, the Kobe style beef (grill), shiitake mushrooms skewer, chicken karaage , beef tataki kale salad, and the uni paella. Everything was great except for the mushrooms (they seemed under cooked or dry).

Martins West Gastropub

Straight off, I thought the food and the drinks were really great. The food portions is a bit small for the price, but still I was very satisfied.

For drinks I got a martini (not sure of the name, but it had grapefruit, and it it was still very sweet), and something called a new fashion (a sweet twist to an old fashion. It had some Apple liqueur in it).

For food, we got one appetizer, and three shareable plates. The appetizer was wings (which without the sauce, I thought they were cooked really good, not dry at all). The shareables were an octopus salad (also cooked just right), Mac and cheese, and pork belly toast.
