Berkeley, CA: O Chame - "Fusion dining the way it's supposed to be"

2007-07-30T01:02:50-07:00

Review of O Chame at 1830 4th St, Berkeley, CA 94710

Had dinner here a few weeks ago and was really impressed with the clean flavors that presented themselves quite well. Twists and turns on the typical Japanese dishes were well-received. The service at the bar was well-timed and we never felt looked down upon because we opted to go for the bar ...

Review of Plouf at 40 Belden Pl, San Francisco, CA 94104

by hungrytraveller:

If you order the bucket of mussels or clams, be sure to ask for extra bread as the broth at the bottom should be savored and enjoyed!

Las Vegas, NV: Bouchon at The Venetian - "Was forced to wait about 25 minutes after my reservation ..."

Review of Bouchon at The Venetian at 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

by hungrytraveller:

Was forced to wait about 25 minutes after my reservation time but during the entire wait, no one asked to get us a drink or even make room at the bar! The food itself wasn’t anything great either. The foie gras appetizer I had was woefully inadequate and poorly prepared (lots of veins = ...

Berkeley, CA: Fonda - "Great place but you may have to wait"

2007-04-17T12:02:47-07:00

Review of Fonda at 1501 Solano Ave, Berkeley, CA 94707

by hungrytraveller:

This is a great find on Solana across the street from the Safeway. It’s actually quite a large space with 2 different levels and if the weather’s right, the patio.I went around 7:00pm and was able to sit immediately at the bar overlooking the open kitchen. It was a great spo...

Oakland, CA: Pearl Oyster Bar & Restaurant (CLOSED) - "Awesome place if you can get a seat!"

2007-02-12T10:59:17-08:00

Review of Pearl Oyster Bar & Restaurant (CLOSED) at 5634 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618

by hungrytraveller:

Went there on a rainy Saturday evening so the wait was not long at all (maybe 5 minutes at the bar?). The bartenders there pour some pretty stiff drinks and the vibe of the place makes time pass pretty quickly.The restaurant itself is not large and the tables themselves are not too big....

San Francisco, CA: Izzy's Steaks & Chops - "A Great Time Out (if you get the right waitstaff)"

2007-01-22T10:52:29-08:00

Review of Izzy's Steaks & Chops at 3349 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA 94123

by hungrytraveller:

Ask someone to list a great steakhouse in SF and they’ll usually cite House of Prime Rib or Ruth’s Chris. Izzy’s should be added to the list as the prices are definitely more than reasonable compared to what you’d pay at the two aforementioned establishments and the foo...

Oakland, CA: Garibaldi's - "Great buzz and food to boot!"

2007-01-16T00:58:13-08:00

Review of Garibaldi's at 5356 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618-1417

by hungrytraveller:

Went here for a group dinner and had a great time. My group was a little late on a Friday night but the front of the house was very cordial and accommodating. Considering the size of our group and the fact that we were keeping them from turning the table once more after us, they did not give u...

Oakland, CA: Citron - "Good date environment but service needs work"

2007-01-14T22:25:23-08:00

Review of Citron at 5484 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618

by hungrytraveller:

I was there for a large family celebration (10 people) and you’d think that a table ordering 4 bottles of wine, a healthy order of sides, appetizers and tasting menus would get some service. One would think anyways…The environment there is very friendly and the waitstaff we...

Review of Coyote Cafe at 132 W Water St, Santa Fe, NM 87501

by hungrytraveller:

Going for a family member’s birthday dinner, the staff at Coyote Cafe was exceedingly pleasant and helpful. The ambience in the restaurant was nicely set with the right amount of lighting and impressive lighting fixtures (each fixture was the shape of a flowing bird and the entire restau...

San Francisco, CA: Myth Restaurant & Lounge (CLOSED) - "This is the place you want to go to make a good impression"

2006-11-13T18:31:43-08:00

Review of Myth Restaurant & Lounge (CLOSED) at 470 Pacific Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

by hungrytraveller:

The menu is a bit eclectic as certain things share similar billings that wouldn’t normally appear together on a menu. But the food definitely works and when you factor in the very reasonably priced wines (they have a lengthy list of wines that are all under $20), you’ve got a winni...
