Regardless of preparation and technique the quality of the ingredients can make or break a meal. This was most certainly the case at Morimoto in Philadelphia. I had a conference in Philadelphia and we decided to capitalize and try Morimoto while we were there.
The restaurant is located right downtown on Chestnut St. The entrance is [...]

Rarely does a restaurant live up to the hype generated by the media but in this case it certainly did. Since being named the number one ‘Coast to Coast, Restaurants that Count’ 2008 by the New York Times’ Frank Bruni, O Ya has been on my radar. We had wanted to try it for quite [...]

San Francisco has a large Japanese immigrant population which supports a vibrant Japantown and therefore some wonderful sushi restaurants. After some research online, I decided we should try Kiss Seafood on the edge of Japantown. The area is residential and you are not expecting a restaurant in the block of apartments. Inside the space is [...]

We spent the Memorial Day weekend in San Francisco, one of our favorite cities! We celebrated graduation (and finally having some time together) at Restaurant Gary Danko. We arrived just on time for our reservations and were seated at a lovely corner table. The décor is eclectic; the somewhat dark room is accented with bright [...]

Boston classic! For my graduation celebration dinner my parents treated me to us to dinner at Hamersley’s Bistro. I selected Hamersley’s since I had wanted to try it for quite some time. We were seated immediately after we arrived in the simple, cozy room just in front of the open kitchen.
While we perused the menu [...]

For our March NRT gathering we decided to take advantage of Boston Restaurant Week and try Locke Ober. During this week participating restaurants offer prix fixe menus for $20.09 at lunch and $33.09 at dinner. It is nice chance to try a restaurant which you might otherwise reserve for an occasion. Every year we try [...]

Last weekend G and I went to a play at the Huntington Theater at BU which is near Symphony Hall. As I have mentioned before, there are few good restaurant options in this area. This time we decided to try Sasso which is near the Prudential Center. We arrived about 6:45pm and had to [...]
