INDIA’S RESTAURANT
Reviewing India’s Restaurant: Indian food in the heart of Houston.

JOE’S STONE CRAB
Reviewing Joe’s Stone Crab: Seafood Restaurant in Miami Beach. Joe’s Stone Crab has finally caught up with modern times, and I’m not sure who to thank for it. At one time, it was required that you be male to be a server. And, until recently, you had to know someone, wink-wink, and pay some hefty […]
MANDOLIN AEGEAN BISTRO
Reviewing Mandolin Aegean Bistro: Traditional Greek food in Miami. I wanted to be surprised when visiting Mandolin Aegean Bistro, so I didn’t look it up ahead of time. I did realize it was extremely popular though because, even two months out, we could only get a 3:30 p.m. reservation for the date we wanted. Given […]

LA LUCHA
Reviewing La Lucha: Southern Cuisine in Houston. After doing some research on oyster happy hours, I decided to finally make the trip to La Lucha in the Heights with two other people in the hopes of satisfying an oyster craving. We were sold by the 4.5 star rating on Yelp, 500+ reviews, and $1.50 happy […]
BELLES BEACH HOUSE
Reviewing Belles Beach House: Hawaiian Food in the heart of Los Angeles!

ANOMALY
Reviewing Anomaly: New American fine dining in San Francisco. This warehouse-turned-pop-up restaurant in the Dogpatch neighborhood of San Francisco is unassuming from the exterior. In fact, we walked right past Anomaly and had to turn around since there are no visible signs from the sidewalk. Reservations need to be made a couple of weeks in […]
