Saturday Night we went to El Patio’s in Troy to have a dinner in honor of Lila Seaman’s birthday. Lila was Omar’s sister, who passed away last year after a long battle with breast cancer. Lila was a remarkable woman who graciousness and generosity touched the hearts of all who knew her. She had a … Read more
Our Cleveland experience continues… We were trying to figure out a place for dinner that first night. We were hoping for something casual, but also wanted some atmosphere. We wound up at the Rusty Anchor at the Music Box. This restaurant was right on the Cuyahoga River, with views of the Flats, and bridges. We … Read more
First, let me share with you a little known secret. Sign up for the email birthday club and you will get a free entrée and pint glass on your birthday, and since there is nothing I like more on my birthday than free food and swag, we made sure to hit Rochester Mills Beer Company. … Read more

International Delight Vanilla individual creamers 3. Orange Marmalade. I have yet to find a restaurant that satisfies all three requirements. Here … 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
Typically, I won’t post any reviews from what Omar deems a “pedestrian” restaurant. Rarely do we ever frequent any “chain” type restaurants as Omar thinks (and I agree) that the food is just mediocre. The food is what it is really and I find if you get the right thing from each restaurant it is … Read more
This past Saturday, I took my kids to Red Lobster (Lakeside Mall location) for dinner. 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
