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.
It’s one of those places that at a glance you just know is not going to be a good move to enter. It has that fast-food look – signs emblazoned with photos of the food, cheap (relatively speaking) prices, plastic chairs, well, sort of plastic everything.

Back in May I posted a little trio of mini-reviews, out there looking for a mixed grill of seafood. It’s well worth a read if you’re into that sort of thing. I’m just sayin’. I haven’t put much attention on finding more, it was a project of the moment, but, I do love my seafood,… Read More Seafood Bonanza

I wasn’t overly enamored of it, so it was with trepidation that we approached the new branch of it which has opened up a mere two blocks from our home.
