Oh the Joy of Hell.
I have eaten at Hell’s Kitchen a few times and I have enjoyed every meal throughly. I find the decor fun and the pajamaed servers a hoot. The first time I went there it was full of Episcopalian Priests, it was quite the sight to see. Really though eating there is all about the food, if I lived closer I would be there at least once or twice a month. A tip for those interested: Aways make reservations for Sunday brunch. (As we were leaving today there was a one and a half hour to two hour wait to get in.)
Dishes I tried:
Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes
These babies are good even without syrup! Nice and lemony and yet very delicate tasting.

Tiki Fun!
I have no idea how it came to pass that I am the first person to write a review on Psycho Susie’s Motor Lounge. (Well maybe it is so fab that no one else wants to share it.) It is very, very tiki. It is very fun. They have done the theme to the hilt. Bamboo, 70’s decor and cute tiki glasses really bring it all together.
I had a tiki drink that was very yummy, part of an order of fried asparagus and The Barris pizza. It was all very good. The pizza, however, was the best part. It had carmeleized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh oregano and goat cheese. Wow, so very good. I can’t wait to go back.
As far as service goes it was a little slow at first, but I am chalking it up to being early in the evening and things seeming a bit confused up at the bar. Once they brought us our menus all was very well.
A small warning: Parking is atrocious in this area. Go early or plan on a bit of a walk. (Though you might be lucky and find a spot behind the restaurant.)
Dishes I tried:
The Barris pizza
Uggh! I wish I hadn’t eaten an appetizer before this. It was so good. The crust and sauce are to die for and the caramelized onions just made it that much better.

Nice basic Indian food.
I have actually been to this restaurant twice now, but the last time was a few years ago. I am giving it three stars because I would go back, but I don’t HAVE to go back. (If you see what I mean.) Everything we ordered was very nice and the waiters were very courteous. The decor was a bit faded and looked like it could use a touch up, still it was well worth the stop.
Dishes I tried:
Chicken Josh
We ordered this dish to share and at first we thought we had made a mistake because it was so small. In the end, however, it was quite filling and very tasty. We ordered it medium and that was just right for me. We ate every last bite and sopped up every bit of sauce!
