Come for the oysters, stay for the bread pudding I was blown away by Flaherty’s Seafood. My friend Eric and I dined at Flaherty’s one balmy Friday night on a weekend trip to Carmel, California. It’s well situated right in the middle of the action in the charming seaside village of Carmel-by-the-Sea and within walking…

Poke O
Hawaii’s famous raw fish dish is taking Dallas by storm with poke places popping up all over the city. If you haven’t heard of poke (which rhymes with okay) before, it’s super fresh raw fish tossed with veggies and typically served over rice. If you like sushi, you’ll like poke. A huge poke fan myself,…
Ziziki’s at The Star
Last week I had the pleasure of checking out Ziziki’s at The Star (6765 Winning Drive, Suite 800, Frisco, Texas 75034) with my friend Wendy Darling.

Every course was fresh and flavorful and service was quick. You can even play billiards on the beach while you wait for your food! Since everything at Blue…
Dining Review: Fire and Ice at Blue Haven Resort
Fire and Ice is an enchanting waterfront restaurant at the picturesque Blue Haven Resort on Providenciales in Turks and Caicos. The gentle ocean breeze blows through the indoor-outdoor Mediterranean restaurant, causing the airy white curtains to flow back and forth ever so softly. I particularly appreciated that jazz is always playing. My regular readers know how…
Tea at Dallas Arboretum
If I’m perfectly honest, I’m not a fan of tea. But I am a tremendous fan of any excuse to eat multiple courses in the middle of the day so I happily accepted an invitation to Friendship Tea at The Dallas Arboretum. I’m pleased to tell you that I loved it so much, I actually…
Birthday Dinner at Eddie V’s
Was there any doubt that I’d want oysters on my birthday? I didn’t think so! Last year I celebrated my birthday at Eddie V’s with my mom before flying off to Orlando with my sister-in-law. It was so good, we decided to reprise the experience and Eddie V’s did not disappoint. The sole purpose (see what…
