food-plan.orgThe most recent 30 restaurant reviews from food-plan.org.Busboys and Poets: 4 by kobi- February 15, 2007 What he said. Honestly, what with the 40 minute wait for a table, you&8217;d think that, bookworm that I am, that I would have found something to read and or buy at the bookstore. Nope, not a prayer. I had to actively work on not choking on my dry-as-dust Sysco hamburger- medium rare more like massively charred! but it wasn&8217;t all the hamburger; the conversations going on around me were impossibly wonkish, self-congratulatory, and just plain awful. The upside Yes, that really hot girl at...http://www.food-plan.org/restaurant.cgi?restid=649#kobi%2C2007-02-15T02%3A06%3A03.093669%2... Rays The Classics: 8 by kobi- February 15, 2007 It&8217;s got a good feel to it- part 50&8217;s, part now, it makes me want to sit at the bar in a long black dress, hat, and dark glasses. (Possibly also with a jeweled cigarette holder, but just for emphasis.) Even the dishes are pleasing. The food too; no denying that. Go- make plans to meet a friend at the bar. Dress up a bit, have a cocktail, and don&8217;t flinch at the bill- it&8217;ll be worth it.http://www.food-plan.org/restaurant.cgi?restid=651#kobi%2C2007-02-15T01%3A54%3A42.51662%2B... The Majestic Caf: 6 by kobi- February 15, 2007 This will be re-opening soon as just &8220;Majestic&8221;, under the management of the folks who bring you Eve and also Eammons. &8212;&8212;&8212;&8212; 2004-01-12: I had a good meal here. The sparking blood orange drink was a great starter. But service was hard to come by, at times, and the menu left me a bit flat- I wasn&8217;t in the mood for anything especially heavy or involved- but everything on the menu that evening was heavy and involved. My meal was quite tasty but I only ate about...http://www.food-plan.org/restaurant.cgi?restid=9#kobi%2C2007-02-15T01%3A48%3A41.272314%2B0... Firefly: 7 by kobi- February 15, 2007 The chef is leaving here soon, so the future is uncertain at this local hotel restaurant. I went in this past weekend, and had a thoroughly competant meal, though I can&8217;t claim any knockouts. The truffled fries seemed overwhelming this time, instead of addictive. The mac-n-cheese was heavy first, creamy second. The slow-cooked pork was tender and tasty, and my spiked coffee and pannacotta were both enjoyable. But the wine was merely so-so, and my (admittedly picky) dining companion would...http://www.food-plan.org/restaurant.cgi?restid=390#kobi%2C2007-02-15T01%3A43%3A58.067486%2... Naan-N-Curry: 4 by shields- February 4, 2007 I&8217;m usually a fan of this sort of place: traditional food, open late (open 24 hours at the Jones and O&8217;Farrell location), and no-frills service. But I&8217;m not a fan of Naan-N-Curry, because their lamb is terrible. It&8217;s half meat, half bone and gristle. This is not ok. Charging an extra buck or two for the lamb dishes and just taking the lamb off the menu are both honorable options. I know (and I keep saying) that it&8217;s hard to serve red meat for cheap, but El...http://www.food-plan.org/restaurant.cgi?restid=663#shields%2C2007-02-04T07%3A46%3A54.06435... |
