I went to a local diner and ordered an omelette and a blueberry muffin. The omelette was fine but the muffin tasted aweful. Something was definitely off with the muffin. Since i was running late, I did not bring it up with the waiter. When I went to pay the bill, the manager asked me […]
We threw a party for a bunch of friends and we wanted the best caterer. We hired Nader Gebrin, formerly of Bravo Nader. Nader refers to service as exquisite food from extraordinaire talent. I have to agree that this is an apt description because he delivered on an extra special evening and dinner. When you […]

We were shopping at Grace’s Marketplace and decided to get lunch at their Chef’s Counter & Trattoria. It is set up in the corner of the Grace’s Marketplace. The menu is relatively small but has a focus on breakfast and lunch. Doing it over, I would probably go for breakfast since it looked good. But […]

We were invited by our Friends to have dinner at Torrisi Bar & Restaurant in NYC. Torrisi is located in the Puck Building on the corner of Mulberry Street and Houston Street. My first impression of Torrisi was their attention to detail. They have a large piece of art that has the Puck figurine imbedded […]
I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics. I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references. If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]
We had a lovely meal at Cena 081 in Westbury, right by the LIRR Train Station. We were greeted by Tom Brady, the manager. Unfortunately for us, it was not THE Tom Brady, retired Football GOAT. I was confused that with the name Cena 081 when their address is 103 Post Avenue. My good friend, […]

Ristorante Venere is in a non descript strip mall where parking is easy which won kudos, especially from my wife, on this rainy night. From the first moment we stepped in, we had the most amazing experience. My overall take […]
