Review of The 3rd Corner at 2265 Bacon St, San Diego, CA 92107-1304

by irisblu1981:

Good ambiance. Between us, we had the pan seared scallops (with tomatoes, garlic, nicoise olives, capers, green beans & roasted potatoes in a white wine lemon sauce), the mussels (steamed in white wine, fresh garlic, parsley, butter and served with a baguette), & black truffle risotto...

Review of Benihana at 17877 Gale Ave, City Of Industry, CA 91748

by irisblu1981:

A popular place for a special occasion (there were a lot of people there for their birthday when we went), I think mainly because of the entertainment of having your food cooked in front of you. Not sure if all the chefs do this, but our chef was very entertaining, at one point he made a pict...

Encinitas, CA: Pannikin Coffee & Tea - "Cute, creatively-decorated breakfast joint in..."

Review of Pannikin Coffee & Tea at 510 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA 92024-2035

by irisblu1981:

Cute, creatively-decorated breakfast joint in Escondido. Seems to be a favorite with locals. I got the popular Greek eggs (scrambled eggs with feta, tomato, basil) on the waitress’s recommendation, which would’ve tasted better if it was piping hot rather than luke warm. Also, the bagel was ...

Carlsbad, CA: Tip Top Meats - "Specializing in European meats, roasts, &..."

Review of Tip Top Meats at 6118 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, CA 92011-1116

by irisblu1981:

Specializing in European meats, roasts, & sausages, the restaurant is actually contiguous with an European meats & cheeses grocery. On recommendation of reviewers on yelp, I tried the European sausage platter – consisting of fresh German Bratwurst and choice of Hungarian or Poli...

San Diego, CA: Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot & Grill - "Come here often in the winter for Mongolian..."

2009-04-23T11:34:22-07:00

Review of Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot & Grill at 4718 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego, CA 92117-2006

by irisblu1981:

Come here often in the winter for Mongolian hot pot. I really like their broth/soup base – it’s got an herbal, rustic sort of taste to it that’s one of a kind and very good. The meats are good enough quality for me. Would also recommend their glass noodles for the pot. Not cheap, I think ...

Coronado, CA: Il Fornaio - "Upscale chain. The location in Coronado..."

2009-04-23T11:27:36-07:00

Review of Il Fornaio at 1333 1st St, Coronado, CA 92118

by irisblu1981:

Upscale chain. The location in Coronado boasts an awesome view of the ocean – although if you’re going for dinner, it’s all dark outside anyway and you don’t get much of a view. The food wasn’t impressive. I shared the rock fish stuffed with crab meat and crawlfish linguine with a friend an...

Los Angeles, CA: Jitlada - "This place is a little hole-in-the-wall that..."

2009-04-23T11:20:41-07:00

Review of Jitlada at 5233 1/2 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027-5709

by irisblu1981:

This place is a little hole-in-the-wall that has gained a lot of attention. Serving up Southern Thai specialties, which is different from most Thai restaurants in the US which serve up more Northern Thai dishes, Jazz the owner has a huge – almost overwhelming –menu to choose from. On Jazz’s ...

San Diego, CA: Prado at Balboa Park - "not impressed"

Review of Prado at Balboa Park at 1549 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101

by irisblu1981:

Came here during Restaurant Week in spring of 2008 and had their prix fixe menu. I don’t remember exactly what I had, and it is different from their prix fixe menu this year for Restaurant Week. Anyway, I went with about 8 friends and none of us were particularly impressed, and we all got a ...

San Diego, CA: Extraordinary Desserts - "some but not all dishes worth the price"

2009-04-23T10:54:17-07:00

Review of Extraordinary Desserts at 2929 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92103

by irisblu1981:

This is the dessert place to go in San Diego for any special occasions – birthdays, romantic dates, friends visiting from out of town. They have a huge variety & Karen Krane is definitely creative with a lot of different ingredients. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend all the dish...
