I’ve wanted to eat at Golden West Cafe for a while now and on Sunday I had the opportunity to go. The food was excellent and the ambiance appealing. In short, I really enjoyed it.
There’s more.
I’ve been told that service was often lackadaisical by more than one person, but I didn’t have any complaints. We [...]

The reputation of Cafe Hon precedes it. I’ve read good reviews and bad, both by local bloggers and by food critics. Some people like the tacky decorations and the large-haired ladies working the front counter that is the original from the hardware store that used to occupy the space. The word “kitschy” is most used [...]
To make it really short, the Sunday brunch at Little Havana is a blast. Beware however, without a reservation you can expect up to a two hour wait (especially if its a holiday weekend).

I remember seeing previews for The Kingdom and thinking I’ll definitely check that out. Now [...]

My family and I went to East West Bistro in Pasadena for Mother’s Day brunch yesterday. When I called to make the reservation last Tuesday I was asked whether I was planning on the brunch or the full menu. I didn’t know if it would be an Asian-style breakfast buffet or a mixture of Americanized [...]
The Dog Pub — formerly the Thirsty Dog — just opened a second location in Columbia in September. Just around the traffic circle from Nottingham’s, The Dog Pub is open from 11am-2am daily. If a trip to Federal Hill isn’t in the cards or if you’re in one of the surrounding business parks and need [...]
