A Hidden Gem in Connecticut

July 31, 2017 in 5 Star, Date Night

Fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. This place has it all! Too bad I no longer live in Connecticut to enjoy it. Boooo! If you ever feel like expanding (particularly to Roanoke, the Unique Dining Capital of Texas), you would be an awesome addition. Hint, Hint. Just something to think about.

A BBQ Joint that Serves Rabbit in Plano!

June 28, 2017 in 5 Star

I'm not a barbeque fan, but I could be if SMOKE where a little closer to home.

My husband wanted barbeque again, as usual, and somehow he convinced me because some show told him it was good (Man, Fire, Food I believe).

We started off with cocktails. I highly recommend the No. 901 if you are...

An unexpected Place to have A Mini Lesson in Oregon Wines

June 02, 2017 in Date Night

If it wasn't for a friend of ours, we would have never discovered this gem of a restaurant. If you ever find yourself in Addison, I highly suggest you stop on by Table 13. You will love it! This would be on our regular rotation if it weren't so far away...

Color on the Tablecloth at this Trinity Groves Restaurant!

May 25, 2017 in 5 Star, Best Kid's Meals

Amberjax has always been a favorite of mine because of their fresh seafood and great atmosphere. I mean, who wouldn't enjoy eating in the heart of Trinity Groves with the perfect dessert places, Cake Bar and Kate Weiser Chocolate, steps away. But this last experience was beyond fabulous and it was all due to our amazing server.

In the heart of Deep Ellum, you will find Independent Bar & Kitchen in a rustic old building with exposed brick walls on the inside - something I would expect to see in more historic cities like Boston. It was a nice, warm touch that reminded me of my New England roots.

Brunch

Like most families, we enjoyed a Mother's Day Brunch this past Sunday. We chose Mash'd cause they were one of the few places that could accommodate 13 people on a busy holiday. And I was quite pleased they gave us two servers to help move service along. It also kept those mimosas flowing which is kind of important on Mother's Day!

While not the best place to bring the kiddos, I'll definitely be coming back for date nite or sneaking away for a date lunch or two. The adult cocktails were light and refreshing while maintaining their boozy element. We all agreed the food was fabulous. Everyone's fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. There's not many places that can make lobster rolls taste as good as theirs did - especially way down here in the middle of Texas! But TJ's did and I'd have to say their lobster roll even rivaled some of those made in New England. I should know
