This was deffo the place to be scene

20120829-175546.jpg
The restaurant became the place for the beautiful people of Boston to hang out but it also had really good food.

20120829-175800.jpg
As I had not been there for about 5 years I was very interested to see if anything had changed.

20120829-180441.jpg
So the menu has changed a bit but the peppercorn steak is still there.this was their classic dish and is really good.

20120829-181145.jpg
I had the tuna sashimi which really is tuna tartar. It was fantastic.

20120829-181415.jpg
The chicken was also very good.
Sonsie has free Wi-fi and it is great fun to sit in the front of the reatauant and watch Newbury Street go about it’s business.

Olives

by on Jun.07, 2012, under Beer, Boston, Champagne, Chicken, Cocktails, Coffee, Foods, Music, Parking/Valet, Salmon, Tartar, Tuna, Wine

The flag ship of the Todd English empire has reopened in Charlestown . Not too different from the original but I wonder if anyone else has noticed how the new layout has increased the noise levels. Time for some sound proofing me thinks.

20120606-201159.jpg
So even though the place is loud the food was great. Very rich a la Todd English but really good . In fact I forgot to photograph the food so it must have good. Please make do with the menu.

20120606-201616.jpg.
This place is not cheap but Definately worth a visit.

Juvia

by on May.09, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Cocktails, Free Wi-Fi, Happening, Miami, Music, Roof Deck/Patio, Salmon, Swanky, Tuna, Veal, Wine

20120508-201332.jpg

20120508-203043.jpg


Juvia is actually located in the funkiest car-park I have ever seen. It is located at the end of Lincoln Road that is furthest away from the beach.It features
Inside and outside dining.

20120513-184501.jpg

20120513-184532.jpg
Hard to describe the atmosphere. It is cool and funky but really feels like an upmarket beach bar/restaurant. Now do not take this the wrong way the place is fantastic and you could wear your tux or shorts( actually don’t know if there is a dress code) and be totally comfortable here.
So what about the food. It was fantastic. Everything we had was excellent and the prices while not cheap were not outrageous.

20120513-185450.jpg
Cerviche

20120513-185956.jpg
Salmon rolls.

20120513-190042.jpg
Tuna

20120513-190201.jpg
Lamb chops

20120513-190258.jpg
Short ribs.
Once again make this one of your first stops on your next Miami visit.

20120513-190424.jpg
I suggest before you leave grab a mojito and savor the night time beach view.

Anchor & Hope

by on May.04, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Fish and Chips, Happening, Parking/Valet, Salmon, San Francisco, Wine

Anchor and Hope is located in an old mechanics shop in San Fran.(very like most of the restaurants in Palermo Soho Buenos Aires)

20120504-140321.jpg
The space is actually very cool.

20120504-140406.jpg

20120504-140448.jpg
The menu was supposed to be an Oyster and Stout happy hour as enjoyed by the good ole Irish folks at home on the old sod. With these prices however I do not think that many of them would be too happy.

20120504-141013.jpg
Sat at the bar which gave me a good view of the oysters being prepared.

20120504-141159.jpg
Food was good.

20120504-141339.jpg
Fish and chips anyone.

20120504-141437.jpg
Salmon.

20120504-141525.jpg
No Chimay but this stuff was very good.

The Pot Belly Tullylish

by on Mar.22, 2012, under Champagne, Free Wi-Fi, Gluten Free, Irish Coffee, Parking/Valet, Roof Deck/Patio, Salmon, Steak, Wine

The Pot Belly is located between Banbridge and Gilford in Northern Ireland

20120321-212226.jpg
A pot belly is not a fat person from Charlestown but a particular type of stove.one is located in the restaurant and it keeps the place very toasty.

20120321-212554.jpg
The food was simple but really good.

20120321-212708.jpg
This steak with the bushmills sauce was great and the cows were happy so that is great.

There was a gluten free menu and the salmon was very good.

Another one of my favorite hang- outs in Montreal

20120214-144200.jpg
On my last visit I spent a lot of time perched at this bar working on the development of the Supershag Empire

20120214-144413.jpg
The restaurant is very grand but I have never felt out of place in my jeans and t-shirt.

20120214-144646.jpg
The food is great. The bread is brill.

20120214-144748.jpg
I always have a latte in a large bowl with a straw and Jamesons . The perfect Beefoe latte. The one that I had here was so good that I forgot to take a photo.so here is the chicken club.

20120214-145008.jpg
Salmon was pretty good as well.

20120214-145109.jpg

Cavalli is located on Peel Street in the heart of downtown Montreal . This restaurant actually turns into a club at 11.pm on a Saturday night.

20120214-132703.jpg
