Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
Black China Cafe1121 Soquel Ave.Santa Cruz, CA 95062(831) 460-1600 Given that I just grabbed a sandwich to go, this review is based on very limited input. Having said that, the sandwich was exquisite. They called it an open faced sandwich, but it was really more like three pieces of bruschetta. Toasted francese with a large…
Gabriella Café910 Cedar StSanta Cruz, CA 95060(831) 457-1677 It had been a while since I’d been to Gabriella Café, they seemed to have a slight downturn in the kitchen a couple years ago, but that is the case no longer. We had an outstanding meal. Since it was my husband’s birthday, we started the meal…
Tavernetta Limoncello THIS RESTAURANT HAS CLOSED I’ve been driving by Limoncello meaning to go there for a while. We finally decided, somewhat on a whim on Saturday night, to try out dinner there. Not the smartest move on Saturday night on Easter weekend, without a reservation. But we waited for about half an hour, and…
Shogun Japanese Restaurant1123 Pacific AveSanta Cruz, CA 95060(831) 469-4477 When I go to places regularly, I tend to forget to review them. I have a hard time choosing which meal to review, which dishes to talk about, and due to my indecision, nothing gets written. I’ve been going to Shogun for years. I’ve never once…
Rogue Chefs 730 Main Street Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 (650) 712-2000 There’s nothing much more beautiful than the drive up Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to Half Moon Bay. That’s how our evening started, staring at the sun setting over the sea, then coming into downtown Half Moon Bay. We spotted Rogue Chefs and…
Spencer’s 701 West Baristo Road Palm Springs, CA 92262 (760) 327-3446 I’m going to keep this one brief. This restaurant is perfect for Palm Springs. The service was impeccable. They fawned at our feet, they brought everything we needed, they checked on us constantly (but not annoyingly) to make sure everything was going well. If…
Thomas Keller Kepler’s Books Menlo Park, CA November 10, 2004 The God of CookeryThere aren’t many people who can get me to leave my new little baby with my mom so I can see them. But there’s no way I was going to miss seeing the man who is responsible for the most decadent FoodPorn experience…
Lalime’s 1329 Gilman St. Berkeley, CA 94706 510-527-9838 Lalime’s is a cozy, comfortable restaurant placed right in the middle of a residential area. We thought we were on the wrong street. It’s a small dining room in an old house that seats sixty and is bright and warm. We focused on the appetizers which isn’t…
537 Seabright Ave. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-429-1856 The West coast just doesn’t really have good pizza…or I should say it didn’t. I’m a California girl, born and raised, but I’ve had pizza in New York and they know what’s up! I’ve settled for the left coast’s tries at pizza my whole life, therefore I’ve…
Aqua 252 California Street San Francisco, CA 94111 415-956-9662 First off, don’t go to Aqua on a Friday night, especially if you don’t know San Francisco well enough to maneuver through side streets. Traffic was just atrocious! And I’m guessing that if you go on a weeknight it won’t be as crowded and loud in…
French Laundry 6640 Washington Street Yountville, Ca 94599 March 9, 2003 It seems just silly to call this a review. Of Course the meal was fabulous! And there was no doubt it would be. This is a record of our experience as well as our meal that exceeded my already HIGH expectations. This journey began…
Oswald 121 Soquel Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-423-7427 This is where my husband and I go for our “dates” but this time we had company…we can sample more that way! Oswald is small, relaxed (not uptight in the least) and serves phenomenal food. This visit was not a disappointment. We had to wait for…
1400 Lincoln Ave Calistoga, CA 94515 707-942-9111 Review in Day 2 of Chantrelle’s Adventures on the Wine Route
Neil and Chantrelle When Neil Gaiman was on tour for American Gods last year, I caught up with him at TechTV in San Francisco. We made a “date” to have sushi when he returned to the Bay Area. On July 2nd this year, Neil read his new book, Coraline, to a captivated Berkeley audience, all…
Shanghai 1930 133 Stewart St. 415-896-5600 To be blunt, I wasn’t impressed. Although the size of the check was quite impressive! We had Veggies served in a fried noodle bowl, Fried whole fish in a slightly sweet-and-sour-like sauce, Peking duck (I’m not a fan of duck so this wasn’t my thing), Egg rolls…all these were…
