Seattle, WA: Casuelita's Caribbean Cafe - "Cozy and Romantic"

2009-11-15T01:11:20-08:00

Review of Casuelita's Caribbean Cafe at 81 Vine St, Seattle, WA 98121

The atmosphere at Casuelita’s makes it a great place for a date. The bi-level space features a cozy bar on the corner of Western and Vine, and an upstairs dining area. Both are dimly lit, and this is generally a good thing. Service was prompt and though there apparently was a delay in...

New York, NY: Za Za Garden - "Delicious Italian, Great Atmosphere"

2009-09-05T10:40:13-07:00

Review of Za Za Garden at 1207 1st Ave, New York, NY 10021-6840

by BlueBaron6:

I stopped in Za Za per a recommendation by a friend. I was not disappointed. It was a pleasant summer day in NYC, and I was happy to see that they have seating outside in the alley behind the restaurant so that it felt like a courtyard. The food was tasty and fresh...

Seattle, WA: Cantinetta - "A gourmet Italian experience"

2009-07-02T23:47:21-07:00

Review of Cantinetta at 3650 Wallingford Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103

by BlueBaron6:

Cantinetta, located in the trendy Wallingford area of Seattle, feels more like a european country restaurant than your typical Italian joint. For a Thursday night, the place was hopping, and we had to wait a few minutes for a table to open up. The dining area is small and cozy, but proximity...

Highland Park, NJ: Charlie Brown's Steakhouse - "Family restaurant with great salad bar"

2009-04-23T22:19:07-07:00

Review of Charlie Brown's Steakhouse at 247 Raritan Ave, Highland Park, NJ 08904

by BlueBaron6:

Charlie Brown’s is a series of steakhouses around the Jersey area. They feature your standard American fare, and they do it well enough. I decided to give them a try when I was tired of steak, so I ordered the fish and chips; I was impressed. The batter was crispy, but the fish inside...

2009-04-23T22:12:28-07:00

Review of Matchbox at 713 H St Nw, Washington, DC 20001-3733

by BlueBaron6:

DininginDC pointed out all of the essential aspects of Matchbox, a hip, friendly atmosphere, reasonable prices, and excellent taste. Their signature appetizer, the mini-burgers, represent the White Castle sliders perfected by a chef with European taste and American burger mastery. The beef w...

Brooklyn, NY: Grimaldi's Pizzeria - "Good NY Pizza"

2009-04-17T19:21:25-07:00

Review of Grimaldi's Pizzeria at 19 Cadman Plz W, Brooklyn, NY 11201-1322

by BlueBaron6:

This small cozy and popular pizza parlor is located just southwest of the Brooklyn Bridge. The line out the door can be intimidating, so it helps to have someone stand in line for you while you are late. We were seated after a 30 minute wait in the small packed dining room. Tables were clos...

Edison, NJ: The Edison Diner - "Standard Diner Fare"

2009-04-13T09:46:22-07:00

Review of The Edison Diner at 101 Us Highway 1, Edison, NJ 08817-5040

by BlueBaron6:

This diner right off US 1 features a tome of a menu, with all sorts of food available at all times of the day. The prices for the standard fare, like meatloaf seemed a bit high, though portions appeared to also be large. I got the impression that it was like Appleby’s, but the breakfas...

Los Angeles, CA: Merkato Restaurant - "Well priced ethiopian food"

2009-03-25T00:35:43-07:00

Review of Merkato Restaurant at 1036 1/2 S Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90019

by BlueBaron6:

Merkato serves homely ethiopian cuisine at reasonable prices. The restaurant doesn’t try to impress with frills or exotic looking decor. It’s just good dining, plain and simple.For those who have not experienced this type of cuisine, they will find the lack of silverware d...

San Diego, CA: Wine Steals - "Cozy place to split a bottle and pizza"

2009-03-24T12:17:16-07:00

Review of Wine Steals at 1243 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103-3311

by BlueBaron6:

Wine Steals is like a wine store where they will cork a bottle for you and give you a place to sit. The atmosphere is cool, slightly hip, but the prices are downright reasonable. They also have very good pizzas. One can order plates of appetizers that are alright, but nothing special there....

Los Angeles, CA: La Bottega Marino - "Excellent Hidden Italian Restaurant"

2009-03-24T12:01:00-07:00

Review of La Bottega Marino at 11363 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025-3151

by BlueBaron6:

The front of the unsuspecting La Bottega Marino appears to be a deli, but in the back there is a good amount of dining space. This dual existence actually gives the place a rather romantic feel, and at night the lights are set low like a restaurant. The menu features a broad swatch of italia...
