We went to Locanda after a long time, we were completely blown away again, I still stand by my belief that between Al Di La and Locanda there is no better Italian food in all of NY metro...3*
Steak at Sur in Brooklyn is not bad.....
Kai was GREAT again last night and Sir Wylie sent me out a new yummy shrimp dish at wd~50 for the after Kai party....
A good place for lunch in Palo Alto.
A good place for seafood in Moss Landing (north of Monterey).
Cape Cod: If Brax Landing in Harwichport only served me Dayboat Cod with cold slaw, and a side on Monomoy Island clams fried I would give this place 2* but the other food makes it 1*, I am going back for the before mentioned 3 items every time I visit the Cape.....Villa Roma in West Harwich 1*....Sunday School serves only ice cream treats but gets 2*, this stuff is right on, we eat it every nite for dessert, Harwichport.....
We went to #9 Park in Boston (best meal to us in Boston, Radius years ago is now 2nd place), they were super kind and sent us some extra food, we loved it, the lamb dish was fantastic, many other delights, yum yum on the deserts, fantastic on the wine front....3*
Last nite went to Manducatti's for the first time in 6-7 months for dinner, we had a home-run nebbiolo blowout, all cheap all in purrfecto condition.......tonight we went to the restaurant in the Times today, Anh, have to say from the first round this is some yummy Vietnamese, best I have tasted in NYC.....
Grimes at Morrells
great pre-Lucinda/Neil show meal at Annisa was fantastic...2*
Well meal #9 at WD50 with a fun group, love that food....July brings phase one of my diet, I am only doing one bizz meal a week, my doctor said my blood is great, prostate great, liver i dont know how great, but the cholesteral needs some work.....i think i will go to Locanda forst time in a while, need another Kai meal bad, shit the list of the places to try is insane long, need to retaste Atalier (sp?), Tasting Room again with wife-e etc.....October is major diet time, but i need many meals at French Laundry NY also too....hum
The Minnow special tasting menu rate's 2*
Cafe Boulud was great, a tasty spring influenced lunch, not stuffy, wine list had some juice, high end cash wise but worth it, a little too much foam:>)....3*
Quick notes:
Funky Broome: too funky for me, ok in a pinch...
wd~50: another amazing meal, I like eating here at 6:00, the soup sing's, the new chicken dish is OTFCharts!!
Tasting Room: my first mreal there, nice stuff, will go back, 2*
