We finally got back to Little Bar last night. Its the favorite casual place of all our family and friends. They have music in the bar every weekend and most nights in season. They have a full bar, a well-selected wine list and very tasty food. The service is always pleasant, never rushed and onlyContinue reading “Little Bar in Goodland, Florida”

A couple of nights ago Barb and I went to see ‘Come From Away’ at Artis in Naples. Artis is Naples’ very well endowed Center for the Arts. Before an 8 o clock show one must always catch a good dinner. There are several popular places nearby, but I find them overly crowded and overwhelmedContinue reading “Le Indya Naples”

The first place we go for dinner every year upon our return to Naples is Pelican Bend. It is a family owned, simple and convivial restaurant. Many of the servers are somehow connected to the owners or are the owners. The food is consistently good, always fresh and tasty. Their Hush Puppies are down home,Continue reading “Pelican Bend on the Isles of Capri”

We went to Mistral a couple nights ago with our friends, Sue and Zola. We had high expectations for this meal because it has been touted heavily by the press, other restauranteurs, and several friends. One local friend doesn’t “get it“ and I respect his opinion. So we had to check it out for ourselves.Continue reading “Mistral in Princeton”

Whadayado when you have a night to go out and just wanna stay local and don’t wanna spend an arm and a leg and wanna bring your own wine and wanna be sure your gonna have a great meal? You go to your local “go to” place. So far, we are happy with Romeo’s inContinue reading “Romeo’s Ristorante Italiano in Plainsboro, NJ”

It seems that I have reviewed Ko many times in the past. I guess I posted it on Facebook or previous blogs. We have been going to Ko as often as possible since it opened as a spin-off of Oishi. Last year it was the first place I ate indoors after recovering from Covid. TheContinue reading “Ko Modern Korean in Newtown, PA”

Last night our place to try was Kristine’s in downtown Princeton. We went with our friends, Vince and Claudia. The cuisine was French, as was the chef who did his training in the area of Lyon, France. He’s a very likable guy who meanders around the restaurant, checking to see if you’re pleased and suggestingContinue reading “Kristine’s: a French Bistro in Princeton, NJ”

Last night I had a hankering for Caribbean food. I haven’t had any oxtail or goat curry in forever. We noticed this small spot this week while searching for clothing stores for Barb. Struck out on shopping spots. Jackpot on little restaurants. This is a place not to be missed. On Saturday nights they haveContinue reading “Positive Vybz Island Grill, a Caribbean Restaurant in Princeton, NJ”

We are starting to explore Princeton, NJ, our new stomping grounds. So far not a great shopping town for Barb, but lots of dining options. We need to explore our byob choices. Being a college town, there’s lots of great ethnic cuisine and more affordable restaurants. We started with tasty cocktails at the bar. BarbContinue reading “Agricola Eatery in Princeton, NJ”

For our last night in Summit and to celebrate my coming of age(70), we decided to go to the Summit House for dinner. It is easily the best all around restaurant in town. Pleasant ambiance with an energy level that keeps it far from dull or staid. Very friendly servers are well-informed on the menuContinue reading “Summit House in Summit, NJ”
