Hatfields - WOW!

Hatfields was incredible.
Just incredible.
I mean, I went with really high expectations and not only were they met, but exceeded.
Backstory: Hatfields has been high on my hit list for well over a year. We just hadn’t made it until now (we’re not eating out as often as we used to or as much as [...]

Divine Providence (Is that too cliche?)

My husband and I managed to survive being married for six years recently, and we decided to celebrate that momentous occasion by going to Providence and feasting like kings and queens. This was the second time we had been to Providence and so far both meals have been some of the best I have ever [...]

$100 Dinner for Two is a Recession Concession?

As I have said before, I get a lot of PR emails for restaurants and events around town. I’m not special, most foodbloggers are on the same lists I am.
One email did catch my eye this week. From a PR company, I got a cleverly titled email, “Recession Concessions at Table 8″. Hm, sounds [...]

The dining room is [...]

My mom wrote her own review of their [...]

PARC ~ Hollywood

LA loves all things deemed “trendy.” Parc combines many past and present trends, in hopes LA will show it more love than the previous restaurant that opened here, BlackSteel. French Asian fusion served tapas style, caviar/champagne menus, urban eco-friendly ambiance, and a stunning bar area, are all under one roof just waiting for the approval [...]

Celadon — an exquisite experience

Celadon is a beautiful restaurant and bar/lounge that offers a unique experience. This is definitely the kind of romantic venue you could take someone special to, though the menu is actually skewed towards shared plates, hence ideal for groups of 4-5 or more.
Adjacent to the main bar are a few lounge rooms, [...]
