Category: Restaurants

Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.

“Yuki is the real thing – that’s the place that wouldn’t even let us in the door way back on a Saturday night. Monday nights no security guard, they just buzz you in. Quiet – I went at 8:30, maybe 15 people eating in dining room, three at sushi bar, took a place at the… Read More Real Deal Sushi
