    HRW 2013 Lamb Meatballs with Tzaziki sauce
    David B.

    My wife and I went here for HRW 2013. The menu they had sounded fantastic and we both knew we would regret not going here if we didn't give it a try. It feels weird walking into a school knowing you are going there for a nice meal. The decor is very minimal and nothing fancy at all. We were greeted at the hostess stand and shown to our table. There are only about 20 tables at most in the place. Our waitress we had was not good at all. She didn't ask us for our drinks, took forever to take our food order and just was really bad through the whole dinner service. I know these are students and they are learning, but she needs a whole lot of work still. The food was better than the service at least, well some dishes were anyway. The amuse bouche was not very good and I would skip it next time. The bread they bring out is pretty good though and we were hungry so it went down well. 1st course was the lamb meatballs and the pork belly. The lamb meatballs were very good and one of the best things from the meal. They were very tender and had nice flavor. The tzaziki sauce went well with the meatballs. The pork belly was cooked well and had good texture and flavor. The langostine it was served with was delicious. It was nice and tender and not overcooked. 2nd course was the grilled pineapple and quail salad for us both. This one was a fail all the way around. Do not get this if you see it on the menu. For entree, we had the veal osso bucco and the ribeye. The entree portions were huge and my wife could not finish hers. The veal was melt in your mouth tender and had great flavor. The ribeye was a little tough, but had a good taste. It was served with french fries and grilled asparagus. The veal was the better of the two dishes. For dessert, I had the sticky toffee pudding and my wife had the homemade vanilla bean ice cream with toasted lemon pound cake. The sticky toffee pudding was extremely sweet. Very rich and heavy. The ice cream and pound cake was a lot lighter and a nice ending to the meal. I am glad we came and gave this place a try. About 1/2 of the dishes we tried were good the other 1/2 not so much. I probably will not return.

    Mixed green salad @ Art Institute Courses Restaurant

    Ok, granted this is a culinary cooking restaurant. However, I figured for students who are about to graduate , the food could have been much better. Don't get me wrong......... SOME of the courses were good...but not "over-the-moon". First things first. This meal is 6 courses...YEP..that's right, SIX ! The Appetizers :: We had fried calamari , as their black mussels were not up to par to serve..so only fried calamari was served. ( no problem ) However, the batter was falling off, and looked as though they were fried with corn meal. They were *meh*. The Soup:: We had Pasta Fagioli.. basically penne pasta with italian sausage meatballs with cannelloni beans in a tomato broth. VERY tasty ! The Salad :: Mixed greens with red and yellow cherry tomatoes, walnuts, and feta cheese served inside a red cabbage leaf..and dressed with a creamy vinaigrette. YUM ! The Pasta :: Langostino with linguini, served with herbs and parmesan cheese. They serve the pasta with langostino meat already incorporated and also with one whole langostino aside the pasta. Nice looking presentation. The pasta was ok.. not great , but not bad either. The Intermezzo :: ( palette cleanser ) Raspberry sorbet with orange liquer. Nice. The Entree :: ARE YOU FULL YET ?!......... I am ! LOL The Entree :: Husband had Veal with gnocchi in a brown gravy. It tasted very much like "Beef stew ". It tasted good, though. I had the seared Tuna Steak served over a mashed butternut squash. The tuna steak had chimichurri on top which I loved. The steak was seasoned well, but it was so heavy.I ate a few bites of it and was done, but I finished the squash. and finalllllllllllyyyyy The Dessert :: Tiramisu *sigh* Not only was it not good looking, but it didn't taste worth a thing ! The lady fingers were drenched so heavily in brandy, that they were mushy . I found a piece of the second cookie that wasn't loaded with brandy and it was crunchy...but overall, the dessert was not good ,,AT ALL ! All in all, I can't complain... We had a 6 course meal for only $35.00 per person..so $70. bucks for the husband and I , and we were beyond FULL ! I would go back..and I would recoommend this spot to others. Each week is a different menu, so why not ! I will get a chance to try all kinds of culinary cuisines for not a lot of money.

    Salty butter!!!
    Britney G.

    Well, I wasn't expecting perfection because I knew these were students that were learning, but some of the food was inedible. Luckily we didn't pay much for our meal, thanks to Groupon. The FOOD: - Bread and Butter: The butter was so salty that you could feel the salt granules in between your teeth. I took one bite and literally, could not eat another crumble. Rating: 1 - French Onion Soup: Pretty good, very flavorful and hearty. Rating: 4 - Haricot Vert Salad: You could tell this was pre-made, sitting in the refrigerator, served on a cold plate. Not very good. Rating: 2 - Coquille St. Jacque: Not sure if it was the preparation or the quality of the scallops, but they were watery and fishy. I couldn't eat more than one bite. Rating: 1 - Salpion of Wild Mushrooms: This was pretty good! Rating: 4 - Lemon-Lime Sorbet: this tasted like an Italian Ice. It was ok, just too lemony for me: Rating: 3 - Duck a la Orange: This was by far the thing I was most impressed with. Usually duck can be very dry or very gamey. This was nether. Kudos to the chefs on this one. - Vanilla Bean Éclair: No. This was very dry and the cream was not tasty. Rating: 1 - Cream the Dream: This was way better than the Éclair, but still not top notch. Rating: 3 The SERVICE: The wait staff was very friendly, but not well versed in table service. Our table was set for 4 and with only 2 of us there, I was expecting the other 2 table settings to have been removed. They were not. Also, we had to ask for refills on water a lot. The ATMOSPHERE. The atmosphere was very cold and not too welcoming. Some of the plates were dirty as well. OVERALL: We probably won't try this experiment again.

    One of my favorite restaurants I have taken out of town…read morefriends here as well and they love it My favorite things are appetizers and the pies And well duh the dilly bread

    Walked in around 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday. The host offered several seating options, a regular two…read moretop table, the bar or a high top. I opted for the high top right by the kitchen, and honestly, great choice -- it smelled amazing. Most people prefer not to sit by the kitchen with all the foot traffic but I didn't mind it at all. Nobie's is a house that's been transformed into a restaurant. One of the bartenders told me it's a 104-year-old house, and the whole place has very "house party" vibes in the best way. The music is LOUD. And it gets progressively louder as the night goes on, so if that's not your vibe, keep that in mind. But I was very into it. Lil Flip was playing when I walked in and it took me back to high school house parties. On shuffle were more throwbacks and classics: Ludacris and "Notorious Thugs" by Biggie. The chairs, however, were not my favorite. They're low-backed and kind of cage-like, with only a thin cushion, so they aren't exactly the most comfortable for a long meal. Started with a cocktail: the Remolacha del Corazón -- beet tequila, mezcal, watermelon (house-made syrup), lime and a tajín rim. You can hardly taste the mezcal, which I'm assuming is the point. I like mezcal so it would have been nice to taste it but the beet tequila is definitely the star, with the watermelon and lime adding a nice balance. Appetizer: Don't Worry, Brie Happy ($18). Brie, local honey, smoked grapes, toast. There was basically no local honey on my plate, but those smoked grapes?! They're topped with flaky salt while they're still hot and OMG!! The combination of warm, smoky, sweet and salty was fantastic. My only complaint was the amount of toast. There was a little too much toast for the amount of brie and grapes, so the ratios felt slightly off. Main course: Jamón With Your Bad Self ($45). Ibérico secreto pork steak, tonnato, shaved Brussels sprouts, salsa verde and almonds. I'm particular about pork, so I was taking a bit of a chance here, but this dish sounded too interesting to pass up. The pork steak was cooked perfectly and had some wonderfully crispy pieces around the edges. The tonnato underneath the pork was really good. It almost reminded me of a Caesar dressing and added this rich, savory element to the dish. The shaved Brussels sprouts were great, too, especially with the almonds and Parmesan. Everything worked really well together. Dessert: Olive Oil Cake. A house staple, and for good reason. A lovely way to end the meal. Overall, Nobie's has a really fun, unpretentious energy. Between the old-house setting, loud music and memorable dishes, it feels like somewhere you go to hang out as much as you go to eat. Just know what you're getting into with the volume and the seating -- this is not exactly a quiet, polished fine-dining experience, and that's kind of the charm.

    We tried Milton's out for a somewhat spontaneous date night and it was a good choice…read more Nice atmosphere without being overly stuffy and beautiful decor. Intimate/cozy setting For our meal we had the arancini, broccoli ceaser, chicken parm, rock shrimp scampi. Every entree has an extremely generous portion of freshly grated parm on it-almost comically so. Arancini was delicious, crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Broccoli ceaser was a bit surprising. When I read charred in the description I imagined a warm salad, however this was chilled chopped broccoli. It tasted as if it was cooked in beef tallow and had a surprisingly smoked brisket like taste. I didn't love it. Hubs liked it more. The chicken parm was good. Rock shrimp scampi was delicious. To me, it tasted a bit like if sour cream and onion lays flavor were distilled into a creamy citrusy sauce. We were too full for dessert but maybe next time as I want to return! Service was excellent and prices weren't off the charts. Overall would definitely recommend!!

We had a 7pm reservation for two, and it was in a corner with a small table and high bar stools. It was very hot. We were sweaty, and I am normally very cold in restaurants. I think they go a little overboard with saying that having food here is like traveling the world and breaks down barriers. I like the concept though. They could do more with the decor to give it more of a world traveler vibe. They definitely tried. They were playing American hip hop music, which does not fit the international theme. We got the three course dinner, which was $60 each plus tip. The food was good but did not feel like it was worth the price. For appetizers, we got the Mochiko Chicken and Crispy Pork Belly in Pasilla Sauce. We liked the chicken a lot, and it came with a sweet mango chutney and spicy mayo sauce. The pork belly was alright. It was pretty standard. For entrees, we got the Singaporean Shrimp Laksa and Nigerian Suya Skewers. I liked the noodles and curry, but the fish cakes were not that appetizing. The skin was much bigger than the meat inside, so it would weirdly inflate or deflate. The shrimp came with their tails on, so I got my hands slimy with curry. I did not personally try the beef, but I was informed it was a 3.85/5 and 4/5 with the sauce. The laksa was a decently sized portion, but the beef was quite the small portion with a few chunks and a bit of rice and tomatoes. For dessert, we enjoyed the Orange Torta Caprese and New Orleans Bourbon Bread Pudding. I was kind of confused why the chocolate cake was called torta. It was very small but nice and rich. The orange flavour was strong. The bread pudding, on the other hand, was very big. Although it wasn't pudding. There was a large piece of the bread in whole form. It was delicious. I did not taste bourbon.

The team behind the popular restaurant Nobie's opened up this tiki inspired restaurant. Tiki bars happen to be one of my favorite varieties of bars so I was more than excited to finally check it off my list. I had recently seen them on the Food Network as well. They share a lot with another popular dining spot so parking can be a little difficult in their lot. You can find street parking or park across the street in an overflow lot. Customer service was great from start to finish. We had just ate next door and our intentions were to come in here just for cocktails, but I couldn't leave without trying some of the popular items. I wanted the most tropical drink I could find on the menu so I started off with the Blue Hawaiian. I saw fire on the description so my extra self needed to have it. I'm a big rum guy so this drink was right up my alley and very boozy with two types of rum. It was very coconut forward with pineapple being the secondary flavor. One was enough for me to feel just right. Since we had just ate, we decided to share the World Famous Cheeseburger. This was a great burger. I don't know if they were going for the smash effect, but it had smash burger characteristics. It had all my favorite things that are musts on a burger like American cheese and red onions. It also had a very nice chili aioli that added great flavor to the burger. I came on another stop for a drink visit shortly after and tried the pork dumplings and popcorn chicken. These were also very good. If I lived in the area, this place would easily be a place I would frequent often. I will most definitely be back!

They have an outdoor eating area, a bar area, and seating in the very back. It's very spacious, comfortable, and intimate. The theme of the restaurant is seen all over from the moment you enter, to the music, the menu and the restroom. They paid close attention to detail with decorating. We had an amazing server, delicious drinks (a must try), and ok food. We ordered four drinks the painkilla, vamos à la playa, captains grog, and the Hemingway daiquiri. All were great drinks and we loved how they give you flavor characteristics of the drinks on the menu. The appetizers that we ordered were the sweet and sour cauliflower and the pork dumplings, which is why I gave this place four stars. The presentation of both appetizers were excellent. However, the pork dumplings were disappointing. They came with only six dumplings for $17, were served cold, and are very bland. In my opinion, they weren't worth the price. On the other hand, the sweet and sour cauliflower was our favorite and is definitely a must-try.

    Okay, Nancy's Hustle is officially a HIDDEN GEM!…read more I chose this place for dinner based on a recommendation, and it absolutely did not disappoint. This was the dinner portion of a first date, and the vibe was PERFECT. First things first--Nancy's Hustle is kind of tucked away, so you need to know where you're going. Map yourself there and pay attention because you could easily pass right by it. But once I opened that door... YES! It's a small, intimate restaurant with low lighting, a bar, table seating and a patio. We arrived before the patio opened at 7:00, which was perfectly fine with me because I actually prefer sitting at the bar. The whole space just had that cozy, intimate, grown-folks-date-night feel without trying too hard. We started with cocktails. My date ordered one of their summer cocktails--I cannot remember the name to save my life --but it was a beautiful yellow drink served with a pineapple slice, and it was GOOD! I stuck with my favorite, a classic Long Island, and they made it perfectly. Now let's talk about this FOOD! We tried the Parmesan and Pancetta Croquettes, and they were delicious. Crispy on the outside and incredibly soft, creamy, savory and cheesy inside, with shredded Parmesan across the top. Even the presentation was beautiful. I ordered the cheeseburger, and I almost NEVER get excited about somebody changing up a burger, but this one came on an English muffin and IT WORKED! The fresh beef smash burger was cooked perfectly. I left off the pickles, aioli and onions, but otherwise I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was honestly one of the best-prepared burgers I've had in a while. Then, halfway through my burger, I discovered they had French fries. How did I miss the fries?! So of course I ordered them late, and I'm glad I did. Fresh, hand-cut potatoes, perfectly cooked, and served with a dipping sauce that I cannot identify--but whatever was in that little cup needs to keep happening because it was AMAZING. From the cocktails to the food to the atmosphere, Nancy's Hustle was exactly what I wanted for a first-date dinner: intimate, relaxed, interesting and GOOD.

The dining area is a good size and they also have a nice patio which is where we sat. The staff was nice, but they were slow at times. The biggest issue was with the food. I ordered the Chicken Tenders which came with Fries and Honey Slaw. I also ordered a side of Broccoli. The Fries and Broccoli were cold while the Cole Slaw was too salty for my taste preference. The Chicken Tenders and dipping sauces (Cayenne Ranch and Honey Mustard) were tasty. One of my dining companions sent some of her food back because it was also served cold. One of the employees was going to reheat her food, and she had to ask for a new order to be brought out (which they reluctantly did). For my beverage I had the Blueberry Spritz which is a mocktail. It was very good and refreshing, but took quite a while to be brought to the table. The staff was nice enough to grab extra napkins and utensils for us when we asked which was very nice of them to do. Maybe it was just an off day for the staff and hopefully they have fixed the issue with serving cold food that is meant to be served hot. I'll wait a little while longer before returning.
