Arriving promptly at 355 pm (they open at 4 pm) allows for the first choice of seating in the intimate dining room. We picked a table near the entrance to the back patio & then promptly went to the counter to order. Overall we had a great experience & would definitely return in the future.

3rd & Fernwood Restaurant Review

We recently had the pleasure of dining at 3rd & Fernwood and were thoroughly impressed. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully presented, making each dish a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The service was top-notch; our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well-cared for throughout the evening. We also appreciated the clean and inviting atmosphere, which added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. While the prices were perhaps a tad higher than we'd typically prefer, the quality of the food and the overall experience more than justified the cost. We left feeling completely satisfied and are already planning our return visit. 3rd & Fernwood is a true gem and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

Atlantic Fish Company Review

We stumbled upon Atlantic Fish Company just before the dinner rush and snagged a table, but we'd definitely recommend making a reservation, especially for later dining.

Our server, Karina, was an absolute gem! Attentive, friendly, and genuinely personable – she really elevated our experience.

And the food? Amazing! Seriously, we'd travel back to Boston just to savor those flavors again. The branzino was a highlight, and we loved that it came with two sides included.

A few minor observations: the tables for two are a bit cozy (read: small), and the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, which poses an accessibility issue.

But those are minor quibbles in an otherwise fantastic experience. Hot towels at the end of the meal were a lovely touch! Overall, Atlantic Fish Company is a must-try for seafood lovers in the Boston area. Highly recommend!

Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken Review

We always enjoy the fried chicken at Astro. They also have a variety of donuts with interesting flavor combinations, with the Maple Bacon and Key Lime Pie donuts being our favorites. While some donuts weren't as impressive, we had a positive experience overall. We recommend ordering donuts online as they tend to sell out. A minor drawback was the cleanliness, which could be improved.

Tiger Fork DC Restaurant Review

We had a great experience at Tiger Fork DC. While the restaurant is tucked away in an alley, which made it a little tricky to find, the delicious food and drinks were well worth the effort. We started with the Salt & Pepper Calamari, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. For our main course, we shared the Beef Brisket Chow Fun, and it was fantastic – flavorful with plenty of tender brisket.

We also enjoyed the creative cocktails. The Victoria Harbour was silky smooth and semisweet, while the Nathan Road was a bit stronger but still very enjoyable. The Chinese Kitchen, with its flaming cinnamon stick, was a fun and flavorful experience. The Monkey King Bread was a tasty dessert, though we would have preferred it a bit softer.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant. While the location is a bit unusual, we appreciated the unique atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, especially for happy hour at the bar.

The Chicken Sandwich was also fantastic, and adding an egg took it to the next level. Beyond the amazing food, the presentation was beautiful, the service was friendly and attentive, and the whole place felt clean and inviting. Honestly, we can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. It's become a new favorite spot for us.

RAMEN-SAN Deluxe Restaurant Review

We recently enjoyed a delicious ramen dinner at their  Deluxe location. Its central location, close to hotels and shopping, made it a great choice for a quick and satisfying meal. We were seated right away on a busy Friday night, and our server, Addison, was friendly and attentive. We appreciated the hooks at our table for our winter coats – a thoughtful touch in sub-zero weather!

We ordered the Karaage Chicken Nuggets, Roasted Edamame, Spicy Garlic Tonkotsu, and Tonkotsu ramen. The appetizers were excellent, and the ramen portions were generous with reasonably priced add-ons. However, we were a bit disappointed that the ramen broth was lukewarm, and the "spicy" garlic ramen wasn't very spicy at all.

Overall, we had a positive experience. The food was flavorful, the service was great, and the location was convenient. We recommend it when you are in Chicago and looking for a tasty ramen fix.

The Rooftop by STK In Room Dining Review

We recently tried the in-room dining at this hotel, and while it had its moments, it was a bit of a mixed bag. We were pleased with the quick service – our food arrived in under 30 minutes. The Banana Crunch Pancakes and Matcha Latte were definite highlights, both delicious and well-prepared.

However, we were disappointed with the inconsistency in the food quality. The Andaz Eggs were overpriced for the small portion, and the chicken wings were downright inedible. We also noticed discrepancies between the menu in our room and the prices we were charged, which was frustrating.

While the Tropical Greens Smoothie, Chicken and Waffles, and latte were decent, they weren't anything to write home about. Overall, we'd say this spot is okay for a quick and convenient breakfast if you're staying at the hotel, but we wouldn't go out of our way to eat here. And we recommend steering clear of the chicken wings.

The Lab Collective Restaurant Review

This place was a real find. We loved the generous portions, friendly staff, and convenient location close to our hotel and the beach. The prices were also very reasonable for the area. We enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the Chili Lime Wings, Fried Chicken, and Chicken & Honey Mustard Salad. The Lab Cadillac cocktail was a standout too, perfectly made with a delicious tajin rim.

While the service was generally good, it did slow down a bit during peak hours, which is understandable. Our only real disappointment was the Seafood Linguini. It was tasty, but we expected a heartier dish with more seafood, given the price. Overall, though, we had a great experience. This spot offers good food, good portions, great prices, and good service. We'll visit again on our next trip to Oceanside.

Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine Review

We had a delightful dining experience at Jasmine's Caribbean Cuisine. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a nice "Jamaican vibe." The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was prompt.

We started with the Codfish Fritters, which were a bit different from what we're used to, but still tasty. The oxtail, however, was absolutely divine! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and perfectly seasoned. The plantains were also a hit, soft and flavorful.

The drinks were a highlight. We enjoyed the Coco Breeze and Scandal Rum Punch, both of which were refreshing and flavorful.

While the food was delicious, we did find the portions a bit small, especially for the oxtail. Also, the restaurant is quite small, so we recommend making a reservation to avoid a long wait. Overall, though, we had a great experience and would definitely return to try other items on the menu.

"Contemporary restaurant in the ARIA Resort & Casino serving Taiwanese fare & specialty dumplings." - Din Tai Fung

Din Tai Fung Restaurant Review

Din Tai Fung at the Aria in Las Vegas was a delicious dining experience. The food was incredible; we especially loved the Baby Back Ribs, Crab PK XLB, and Shrimp Spicy Wontons. The service was also top-notch, with attentive and courteous staff who made us feel well-cared for. The jasmine tea was the best I've ever had – the fact that they left the carafe at our table so we could enjoy hot tea throughout the meal was a lovely touch.

However, getting to the restaurant proved to be a bit of an adventure, as it's located on the casino floor, and we had to navigate through crowds and smoke to get there. We also had a slight hiccup with the hostess who told us there were no reservations available, but we were able to snag one online just 45 minutes later.

Finally, while the food was amazing, the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price. We also learned that ordering all our food at once meant it arrived in rapid succession, so next time, we'll space out our orders. Despite these minor points, we had an amazing evening at Din Tai Fung and would definitely return.

" It's Moist! It's Crispy! It's Delicious!" - 

Jong-Ro Chicken Restaurant Review

Jong-Ro Chicken was a fantastic find! We initially planned to try a different fried chicken spot, but we're so glad we stumbled upon this place instead. The staff went above and beyond for our takeout order, keeping us updated on the wait time and even offering us water while we waited. We ordered the half-and-half chicken (original and sweet chili), and for $25, it was more than enough for two. The chicken itself was delicious – crispy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.

The restaurant is located about 3 miles from the Strip, which might be a drawback for some, but we found it easily accessible with plenty of parking. If we had to nitpick, we'd say it would be nice to have an option to sample more than two flavors in one order. Also, the parking lot got surprisingly busy while we were there, so be prepared for a potential wait for a spot. Overall, we were incredibly impressed with Jong-Ro Chicken and can't wait to return.

"Korean-style fried chicken uses an Asian frying technique that renders out the fat in the skin, transforming it into a thin, crackly, and almost transparent crust.

Atlantis Sky Terrace Oyster Bar Review

We were pleasantly surprised to find such delicious seafood inland! The Cioppino was a standout, rivaling those we've had in San Francisco. Despite arriving without a reservation, we were seated quickly, and the service throughout our meal was friendly and efficient. The restaurant boasts fantastic views of the mountains and the bustling street below, thanks to its unique location over South Virginia Avenue.

However, finding the entrance proved a bit tricky, as it's tucked away across the street from the casino. Also, be aware that the closest restrooms require a trip downstairs to the casino level.

Ultimately, we enjoyed our meal and found the portions generous – splitting two appetizers and an entrée was perfect for us. While the casino setting might not be ideal for everyone, the quality of the food and the stunning views make it worth considering.

The Burgary Restaurant Review

This small NYC restaurant had a lot going for it: a convenient location near our hotel, outdoor seating, and an enticing speakeasy. We enjoyed the buffalo wings and both burgers we ordered (the Garfunkel and the Lower Eastsider), though we were surprised that fries weren't included considering the $15 price tag. The tater tots and cocktails were delicious, but the service was unfortunately slow. Even by relaxed standards, waiting over an hour and a half for a fairly simple meal felt excessive. Overall, the food and drinks were good, but the slow service and price point left us feeling a bit underwhelmed. With so many other options in the Lower East Side, we'd probably explore those before returning here.

Bistro 7 Restaurant Review

Overall, this was a good restaurant. This was our first time here. We loved the service and the location. We had no problem finding parking. The biggest issue was the dessert. We could tell that it has been in the freezer for a long time.

This is our go-to restaurant for breakfast/brunch when we want delicious French toast & chicken fried steak. We spent two nights in the attached hotel & ate 3 meals in the Shore Room.
