Tantalum Restaurant

Jul 19, 2008 Link

Not up to it's USUAL STANDARDS

I have been here many times and I am sad to give it an average rating but that is how I felt about my food this time. I had the c-zur which is not zippy enough. THE squash soup would definitely receive the 5 stars though so order tthat one!

Drinks are pricey but they really get you bombed after just two ( I PROMISE-their version of a long island tea oh my!)

Decor is nice-good bar atmosphere-I was very disappointed. My hubby also pre-boked saying ti was my birthday and there was no mention. We have been here many times-I was not so happy to part with the cash I felt like it wasn’t earned NOT THIS TIME

The chicken wraps are an absolute must!

What I ate:
  • ***

    It’s changed since the last time- I have to say I wasn’t thrilled-I had wished I ordered something else. The noodles were yummy and savory but the meat was not tender enough and it was tasteless in my opinion having had it many times before-WHAT HAPPENED?
    IT has steak and short ribs which have been excellent in the past

Cold Stone Creamery

Jul 7, 2008 Link

YUM

I LOVE Ice CREAM! I think Coldstone is a great treat when you need that extra something. I admit I am more a bite into it type of ice cream lover but making your own creation has something goig for it too.

The thing I don’t like about CS is the noise-the banging of the ice cream tools when you tip does get annoying!

You spend more than I would like to here-so it’s not an everyday jaunt of mine.

What I ate:
  • ****

    So mine is pricey because I combine choc ice cream, choc chips, marshmellow creme, baby marshmellows and nuts-YUM!

Gourmet Juicy Burgers

So, I have been known to drive 2 hours for a burger so I was up for the challenge when my girlfriend wanted to treat me for my birthday.

IT is a very clean, modern place-the stainless and natural wood look. You are promptly greeted and given a clipboard where you can "create"your dream burger 1/3,2/3 to a full one pounder!

The help is young and attractive. Our waiter looked like Matt McConaughey-This only added to the experience!

They have beer on tap (the good stuff) and various bottled beers and wines!
COKE is also served over Pepsi-(YEAH big plus!)

What I ate:
  • ****

    So, I know my burger and expect certain things. IF you love the grilled flavor you would definitely give this a 5 stars. I did love the burger but was honestly overwhelmed by the char taste. I had a burger with Tillamook and various toppings. I Recommend the sweet potato and regular fries and OH, the deep fried dills in a panko bread crumb-YUMMY!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co

Average

I went to the Long Beach location. I was happy they honored my request and instead of chicken strips made my son grilled chicken. I think a lot of people liked the movie and if you love fried foods (we all do to some extent) you should try.

What I ate:
  • ****

    The Fish and chips were very good here. I think we all had the same thing. I would go here again for them. The movie was not one I talk about not my fave so maybe I missed the boat but the food was tasty. Nice after going to the aquarium-they validate parking and it helps.

Best Chips

I am a chip lover and they have the right everything-not greasy-very crunchy-you can tell they are fresh!

It’s not fancy, always crowded esp lunch!

The girls are friendly here and don’t forget to tip! IT really bothers me when people find a good hole in the wall and they don’t tip or only tip 1.00!

What I ate:
  • *****

    The best quesadilla ever!
    I eat mine with chicken. It is huge and comes with rice and beans!

    We drive 30 minutes every week to get it-ouch gas!

El Taco

Jun 11, 2008 Link

YUM!

I have been here many many times. You either go through the Drive-thru or to the window and eat on bench style outdoor seating. Not fancy by any means but the food is so tasty!

You won’t be disappointed here. They give free drink refills! try the carne asada tacos, flautas, taquitos,bean and cheese burrito, OMG the nachos! And don’t forget the cinnamon chips for dessert!

Everyone is friendly and the English is pretty good.

No Bathrooms
Great place to eat before or after D-land!

What I ate:
  • ****

    The taco has zing and fresh taste and they pack the meat on-it is so tasty!

  • *****

    These are the BEST Nachos I have ever had out. For some reason they put the beans on the bottom?

    You can add meat to them too and feast!

Eastside Mario's

You won't leave hungry

Garlic bread and salad please!

What I ate:
  • *****

    You could share this with Vinnie and his sister! It is a huge sandwich and you get a side of spaghetti or fries or? It’s a chicken breast with BBQ and crispy onion straws and bacon! It’s great!
    I usually split with my hubby and get a salad. I cannot eat here without having a salad with their tangy Italian dressing. This is a chain but I am always very happy with the food here!

Foggia Italian Market & Deli

Jun 9, 2008 Link

This is a great deli. I have to say the...

This is a great deli. I have to say the service is better than it used to be. We catered a party a year ago and we were left waiting for things to be thrown together as the party was going on. We had ordered it weeks ahead. The food was great and the quality too!

THey have great sandwiches and the rolls and quality are very good. There is a line of regulars who swear by the pastrami ( I Think)

What I ate:
  • ****

    I usually put my own sammy together as well. Their sandwiches are good and generous!

Melts in your mouth

I really don’t order steak out because I am never pleased except when I am here!

The ambiance is really lovely and the service is extremely attentive. You really feel taken care of here!

What I ate:
  • *****

    Just thinking about this steak makes me hungry all over again. Cooked to perfection-it was a delish cut that melted in my mouth. Best frittes unless y bro is cooking!

    The appetizers are so perfect-salad is elegant and so tasty. You definitely feel the fine dining here!

Ferraro's Cucina Italiana

Jun 2, 2008 Link

Very Good Italian

Ferraro’s is a quaint restaurant with a patio that has been enclosed. IT is a very pleasant place to have lunch or dinner.

We often buy pizza dough from here and make our own pizza at home (with kids things you do).

The deli just across the parking lot is a ncie place to get some cheeses-salami-pancetta-etc and pastries-they have nice bread too.

When you enter to go to the back patio-you are greeted with bread butter and ol and vinegar for your table. The rest is up to you.
I do like their minestrone-lots of veggies. I love salad their is good-not great but it is good.

My fave item here is the ravioli either the goat cheese or the regular 3 cheese. Our family loves the lasagna as well. Their desserts and coffee are nice and it is a close neighborhood cafe. ENJOY!

What I ate:
  • *****

    Yum-thick with cheese-goey and lots of sauce-just what I need to get a ravioli fix!
