Review of Manresa at 320 Village Ln, Los Gatos, CA 95030

very disappointing. went here for an anniversary dinner. had heard it was expensive but worth it, but sadly, it was just expensive, and we left the restaurant hungrier than when we came!it was the classically bad fine dining experience – the food was a little too intellectual with...

Salt Lake City, UT: Bambara - "2nd impression: good planning/restauranteur..."

Review of Bambara at 202 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

by KevinS1:

2nd impression: good planning/restauranteur backing, but so-so execution. Bambara feels like it would be a high-class, fine dining experience, and it has all the components to be a great restaurant – nice decor, prompt service, etc. However, the cuisine just isn’t there, and pricey...

San Mateo, CA: Santa Ramen - "This place is great! I'm not a ramen..."

Review of Santa Ramen at 805 S B St, San Mateo, CA 94401-4205

by KevinS1:

This place is great! I’m not a ramen connoissour, but I do loves me some noodles. We came here later on a Wednesday afternoon, at 1:35ish. The place is very small and even then, there was a bit of a wait. Decor is nothing special and the service is sparse, but once you get your bowl you ...

Review of Bambara at 202 S Main St, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

by KevinS1:

First impressions – pretty good, but I’ve had better. I’m trying to decide if it’s necessary to scale back my expectations in terms of the market (being in Salt Lake City). I have to say, it’s some of the better food I’ve had in Salt Lake City, but that̵...

Review of Market Street Grill at 48 W Market St, Salt Lake City, UT 84101

by KevinS1:

First impressions: Not bad, but definitely not great, especially for the price. Seafood isn’t that fresh, but what do you expect from a landlocked state. Perhaps I’m spoiled from being in California so long, but I don’t think I had unrealistic expectations, especially for a $...

Review of Patio Filipino at 1770 El Camino Real, San Bruno, CA 94066

by KevinS1:

Initial impressions: Good prices, generous portions, and a slightly more Spanish take on traditional Filipino cuisine.It definitely doesn’t look it from the outside (just a canopy and a small patio) but the interior was surprisingly light, colorful, and well-appointed. Service was...

Review of A.P. Stump's at 163 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113-1707

by KevinS1:

Horrible. I’m usually more accomodating but it’s hard after you get food poisoning! My stomach (and my wallet) didn’t feel right after the meal, and I had to leave work early the next day to fend off the onset of stomach cramps and fever.But maybe I should’ve kno...

Review of Fu Lam Mum at 246 Castro St, Mountain View, CA 94041-1204

by KevinS1:

Great little Cantonese spot. Small and gritty, it’s not fine dining, but you can get some good eats at good prices!I love how there’s a complimentary soup and dessert, which really adds to the family-style atmosphere. It’s also great after 9pm, when they start serving ...

Review of San Tung at 1031 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122-2215

by KevinS1:

Was initially dubious – chicken wings from a chinese restaurant? but after getting a table, i looked around and saw that everyone had a heaping plate of these wings on their table.Chicken wings are nice and tangy, crispy, and sauced just enough. Try the dry fried fish for a little...
