The best part was that she delivered the food warm that day and helped me with the last bit of set up!

This place was SO cool. The interior has greenery hanging from the ceilings, and the seating area…read morehas a cute lounge look. I also love the neon sign that says "from Russia with love", as soon as you walk in! For food, we ordered the Beef Stroganoff, a lamb chop dish that I don't know the name of, and the Beef Pelmini Dumplings. The Beef Stroganoff was probably a 3.5/5 due to the fact that I felt like it needed more flavor. It's basically pasta with shredded lamb in a gravy. My favorite meal was The lamp chop lollipop dish, which would score a 5/5 in my book! It came with mashed potatoes, and this amazing sauce. The Beef Pelmini dumplings were unique but tasty! These dumplings are similar to super tiny meat filled raviolis, and It came with a side of sour cream. There's a full bar so I had a dirty martini, then wrapped the night up with a Jasmine Tea. The tea came in this adorable teapot, and the display was so chic! Make your way over to Babushkas for a unique dinner experience, with authentic Russian Cuisines, and great energy!

Finally made it to Babushka's. The decor is a cosy lodge look. The staff was friendly. We sat at…read morethe bar versus a table. They have some interesting cocktails but we opted to try a Russian beer which was nice and refreshing. We ordered the salmon bruschetta which was simple but tasty. We also had the Beef Stroganoff which again was simple, the beef was tender but the dish needed a little more flavor. We will return to try the flight of house-made infused vodka.

Courtney herself also came over along with her Mom to check on how we were doing. Such a classy gesture. The venue has both indoor and outdoor setting. You have the option of Mimosas or just the buffet. For two of us with the Mimosas and buffet, plus tip, rang right at $60 total and was well worth it.

I found Courtney' one Sunday when Three Coins was happy to tell me they stopped breakfast at noon! I saw Courtney's brunch sign on my way home "11-2". I stopped in and I've been coming to Courtney's ever since. Sunday Bruch is to die for! Especially with mimosas! $20 for brunch, $25 for BOTH brunch and bottomless mimosas! What a price point! Now that it's getting cool, the shaded outside seating looks better than ever! Don't wait in that Trip's diner line! Walk half a block; no line, outside and inside seating, GREAT food and Truly bottomless mimosas! They bring you a bottle of champagne right up front! Local artists' works are displayed on the wall and everything is for sale! Courtney is, in addition to an amazing chef also involved in the community. They are currently conducting a Brand Name cereal drive for kids in Ybor. Parking behind 82 Degrees West is plentiful if the up front parking is full. Pics show this weeks offerings which vary by the week. Everything is totally delicious! Don't wait in line in the sun at Trips! Stumble on up to Courtney's for brunch and mimosas! Go once and you'll be back for sure! No doubt the catering business is equally amazing!

We booked Julie to cook us two meals during our recent family reunion in Clearwater. The food was…read moreextremely tasty and well done. She made us Thai one night, and grilled out the next. She also made us a strawberry champagne cake that was devine. Nonetheless, I'm rating her service as three stars because it was extremely expensive for what we got. Also, on the day she grilled for us, there wasn't nearly enough food. We actually ended up ordering in after we devoured what she served. So all in all, all the food was very tasty, but I probably wouldn't go with her again because of the price. Can probably do better from other caterers/chefs.

I am a Mom with 2 toddlers and a new baby. Chef Julie's cooking has been an utter blessing to our…read morefamily! Not only is she a joy to have in our home once a week, intuitively figuring out my kitchen and utensils, she comes in, makes delicious food (gluten free per our request,) and leaves the kitchen spotless! Her food does not only tastes delicious, but she always makes it look extra appetizing! We have used her now for almost 4 months, making 5 meals per week in our kitchen and she is so creative in making new but appealing meals for us grown-ups and the children! I appreciate how savvy of a grocery shopper she is, making use of ingredients we already have and purchasing items on sale, making this arrangement way more budget friendly than I could have imagined! Still, she consistently purchases the better quality meat, seafood and produce as we have requested. Chef Julie is a delight to communicate with, takes feedback very well and is always a delight. We had a very poor experience with a previous chef here in the area, that was quite high maintenance, so we appreciate Chef Julie's food and attitude! Because of her, I am able to spend much more time with my family! Thank you Chef Julie!!

She worked with me to develop a menu for a small in-home dinner party for my husband's birthday, but that was no easy task. We have a 5 year old, people with picky palates AND a Type 1 Diabetic that doesn't eat fat of any kind. Yeah, good luck with that. She developed the most amazing menu with something for everyone - Seared Ahi tuna appetizers that our 5 year old (FIVE!) gobbled up and my "raw fish is disgusting" husband couldn't get enough of. Grilled swordfish so fresh, flavorful and mild that my husband asked "did she seriously go fishing for this today"? A curried asparagus soup that was so good, my super picky adult son noticed there were some leftovers (which she left for us), grabbed the pot and walked away jokingly saying "this is mine and if you try and take it I will fight you". Ok maybe he was only half joking. But the creme brulee. Oh. My. Gosh. I have had it in some of the best restaurants in America and hers, by far is the best I've ever eaten. Like, by a mile. It was unbelievable. She showed up on time, her price was similar to a dinner at a nice restaurant and, best part? My house was seriously cleaner when she left than when she got there. My kitchen was immaculate, all dishes washed, she even does the FLOORS. I just got to enjoy the evening with zero worries. I cannot possibly recommend her more. AMAZING experience from start to finish.
