Sage reservation cancelled, need new suggestions.
Aria just called to say they have cancelled my reservation at Sage in early December. They are doing construction
I am meeting my mother in Vegas for a quick trip and we are staying at the Aria. I'm pretty open to anything, but I need to find something that will make her happy.
In a nutshell:
she likes fancy, but she doesn't like it when they "get all crazy"
she is allergic to shell fish and doesn't really eat fish
she will do steak, but they need to have other things on the menu besides "a big piece of meat"
she likes chinese but could skip japanese, thai etc.
she is older and will probably not want to travel too far away from the hotel at night.
we are doing Scarpetta the next night
Any thoughts??
Dallas dining at the bar
I like eating at the bar at Rise No.1. It's fun to watch them cook, and they give you free souffles.
New to Dallas have a question about area near the Fairgrounds/SuperPages
I've been hearing good things about Pizza Lounge on Expo. I haven't made it there though. I like the potabello fries at Meridian Room. It is a bit of a hipster bar, but the food is pretty good.

Fun Portland Dinner
I am flying into Portland at around 8 on a Friday night with a couple of friends. We are actually driving out to the Newberg, but we wanted to have dinner in Portland first.
We probably wont' arrive to dinner until 9 and will be a little road weary and starving!!
Looking for a good place, tasty food, max of $40 a person, that would be ok with us getting in a bit late and staying a while.
Bailey's Prime Plus
Ok, I guess I'm completely out of it, but someone just told me about this place. I guess there are a couple of them. They went to the one across from Northpark. I really haven't seen anything out there about this place, but it is supposed to be swanky and good.
Anyone have thoughts?
Birthday Dinner
So, the birthday is coming up. I'm being asked to pick a restaurant. I was trying to find a good place that we could celebrate, be a bit loud, and not spend all our money. I thought Neighborhood Services wouldn't be bad. I looked up the site, and I saw they don't take parties over 6. I might have more then that coming. Plus, no reservations might get tricky.
I tried to think of other places, and my brain is just not working.
What I'm looking for:
Good food
Centrally located
Not too pricey ($30 at most for an entree)
Good wine list
Would put up with our noise
Not too ethinic (I have some picky friends)
Any ideas?
Dallas - cheap dinner downtown
We ended up doing Cowboy Chow. Hmmm, not impressive. Very disorganized and the food was not great. I will probably not go back.
Dallas - cheap dinner downtown
OK, I lied. I've been to Samar a couple of times and even did NYE there.
Deep Ellum is close. I don't love Twisted Root and I didn't realize Cowboy Chow is open for dinner.
She just moved down the street from the Adolphus and keeps asking me for suggestions, but I know nothing.
Dallas - cheap dinner downtown
A friend wants to meet up and she just moved downtown. I told her I would drive down, but I really have no clue what is down there anymore. Looking for something cheap and decent.
[LV] Dinner Staying at Encore
I am traveling with my family to LV in about a week. My mom is arranging dinner one night. I think we are doing Italian. I wanted to plan something nice for the first night. I'm so behind on Vegas restaurants these days.
I am so behind on my restaurants. I was looking to see what would be tasty, non-Italian, and won't break the bank. We are staying at the Encore, but are will to walk . I think we are going to do Paris for lunch for the next day.
Any thoughts?
somewhere to take clients in dallas
I'm quickly going to throw in Local. Its just down the street.
Business Dinner in Philly Not Far From Westin Downtown
Hi there
Hound from Dallas who has a client dinner in Philly Monday night. We are all staying at the Westin Philadelphia downtown, and I would like something within 10 minute walking distance, if possible.
The client is a bit conservative, but I like anything. Want something nice and upscale with some standard steaks and/or seafood for him and maybe some experimental fun things for me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Texas State Fair 2009: Starts this Friday!
I always go back to the fried cheese curds and friend honeybuns. I hope the fried chocolate covered strawberries are back.
Quattro Houston
I stay at the Four Seasons for work and eat there a couple of times a year. Its ok. I've never had a fantastic meal there, but they have been pretty good. I wouldn't pay myself, but the company is picking it up.
Addison, TX with a group - Sambuca's?
I also think Soho in Addison does a pretty decent job. Sweet little place.
Urban Crust - Plano
Ok, I have to admit, I don't remember the crust because once I got to it, I decided to make use of the extra olive spread they had on the table.
Thanks for the heads up on the fig one. I thought the cheese would cancel the sweet out.
Urban Crust - Plano
Lately, I've been feeling the love for old Plano. I met people at Urban Crust on 15th and was pleasantly surprised. We had a couple of glasses of wine and the four cheese pizza with truffle oil. It was delicious. Our waiter wasn't that great, but I think he was new. The pizza choices looked great, but my friends weren't up for experiementing. I will have to go back to try the fig and prosciutto one.
I just wanted to get a quick word out.
Moules Frites in Dallas?
I was about to say Old Monk. I also heard that they are making them using the old Green Room recipe at Park.
Taco joint in Dallas
I kind of agree, but I have to say, I get tired of the same old same old. So, it was actually nice to see I had choices that were different.
I think they are still trying to figure it out
Taco joint in Dallas
FYI, tasty tasty. My taco was $2.75. Scrambled egg with grilled poblanos and queso fresco. I got some kombucha from the fridge and was good to go. They also had home made chorizo with mashed potatos and cheddar. That looked good too. Told people from my running group and we are stopping back there after doing the lake next Saturday.
Cheap Eats (Dallas)
Meridian room has half priced food on Wednesday nights.
Sushiyama has half price bento's on Wednesday.

The Taco Joint?

I've heard their jalapeno ranch sauce is addictive. Still haven't made it over.
Taco joint in Dallas
I was gonna hit that tomorrow morning after my run at white rock. Its only open till 3.
Dallas - Wolfgang Puck's 560
I went for restaurant week last night. I thought the place was very nice. The food was good but not great. I don't know if it was only because I was eating the restaurant week menu. Its just the same old asian fusion to me. Maybe I need to go back on a regular night.
[DFW] Restaurant Week 2009
September 3 is a Thursday. Do you mean Wednesday the 2nd? I didn't know Bijoux was going out that far for RW.
Favorite BYOB's in DFW
I still like Noodlewave on Spring Valley and Coit and Venezia on Audelia and Buckingham.
San Diego near the Westin Gaslamp
I'm in San Diego for two nights and looking for good places for me, a coworker, and a client to eat for dinner.
I would be up for discovering a hole in the wall, but I don't think my two compatriots would be up for joining me.
Any suggestions on 2 good restaurants within walking distance that you could have a nice bottle of wine and impress a client with?
Thanks
