I took my beautiful Jen out to Mortons steak house last night for her birthday. We have been there several times before, usually for corporate parties and always enjoyed ourselves. We were seated promptly and the server came over right away with bread and water. Jen ordered a Mojito which she said was good but … Read more
We went to one of our birthday lunches at Blackfinn Ameripub in Royal Oak. Back in the day, Omar and I ate here when it was a nicer steak house. The food was OK then, nothing exceptional. Now they have reinvented themselves as an “Ameripub” which they describe as a lively, high energy restaurant with … Read more
Mesa means table in Spanish. Just to explain my odd blog subject header. Ok, so don’t judge, I went to lunch with my co-workers once again. We typically go out to celebrate events and birthdays, and today was one of those. We went to Mesa Taco’s and Tequila in Royal Oak. Now Mesa used to … Read more

On Friday, I took my Beautiful Jen to La Saj Lebanese Bistro. We have been there a number of times and never had a bad experience. We always order the family combo for two and take food home on every occasion. Even before you place your drink order, the staff is placing hot fresh pita … Read more

The food is what it is really and I find if you get the right thing from each restaurant it is … Read more

Now I know what your thinking, I usually avoid the big chain restaurants (Ruby Tuesdays, Olive Garden, Fridays and Chili’s). I just don’t like those places, the food is never as good as it looks on the commercials and the … Read more
It was my baby girl’s 20th birthday and Allison wanted to go to the Melting Pot in Troy for dinner. I went to the bank, took out a second mortgage on the house, and prepared for our visit. Kidding, but dang, it is expensive. So let me begin by saying find a coupon. Or check … Read more
Went to a business lunch at Vinsetta Garage the other day. Vinsetta Garage on Woodward in Berkley is owned by the same husband and wife duo that own Clarkston Woodshop, which I love. I was looking forward to checking out this new place and seeing what the similarities were, if any. Their menu is vastly different than … Read more
Today for lunch, the owner of my work took us all to lunch to celebrate one of the ladies 10 year anniversary. After trying to find a restaurant that would accommodate like 20 or so of us at the prime lunch time hour, we settled on Bastone Brewery. Now Bastone touts itself as a Belgian … Read more
