Garibaldi’s Bakery and Mexican Restaurant in East Naples
We put together a last minute excursion to a Mexican restaurant we had only seen from the road. Paula and Scott had been there and wanted us to try it with them. We were joined by fellow poker players, Bob and Dean, with their wives, Michelle and Gladys. As usual, there were a couple of…
Opa Greek Restaurant in Naples
Barb and I haven’t had Greek food since we’ve been in Naples this year, so it was time to check out a new place. Since I haven’t been posting many new restaurants this year, I was hoping to try a place we haven’t experienced as well as a restaurant that would be post-worthy. A brief…
Los Molcajetes-Bayshore an Update
We recently returned to Los Molcajetes on Bayshore in East Naples. It’s been a favorite of ours for several years. We usually go 3 or 4 times a year. The quality is consistent and the servers couldn’t be nicer. This is just a recent update. We had this dinner on a Monday night. Barb’s favorite,…
Paella Mediterranean Fusion: A New Treat in East Naples
This past year they closed La Moraga in North Naples. The chef opened a new place in East Naples. It’s a small, intimate spot with very charming servers . The wine list is small, but well-chosen and reasonably priced. If you prefer BYOB, they have a $20 corkage fee. The menu offers a good number…
Cafe Marquise on Marco Island
Our friend, Jaybird, had visited Cafe Marquise with his wife who was away babysitting. Barb and I invited him to join us for a spontaneous dinner. He recommended this place. The menu looked somewhat limited and a bit pricey, but he assured us the portions were sizable and shareable. We took him at his word.…
Pho Today in Plainsboro, NJ
We went for Pho last month before heading to Florida for the winter. Naples has exactly zero Vietnamese restaurants. When we feel like a nice Asian meal that’s not crazy fattening, fun to eat, not a long wait and predictably delish, we go for Pho. It’s a little high in sodium, but so is almost…
Jules on Market in Bristol PA Updated
We discovered Jules on Market during Covid when you could only go to restaurants where you could sit outdoors. Jules offered that amenity along with really excellent food and service. For me it was the start of a wonderful relationship. I wrote a review of Jules just one year ago. Since then they have expanded…
Summertime Cocktails and Drinks
Sing along with me: “Summertime….and the living is easy.” At least after 5 o’clock. Lots of options. Here’s a simple suggestion: Campari and soda, with or without vodka. Always a slice of orange. Or maybe a Negroni: looks very similar, but has equal parts of Campari, Sweet Vermouth and gin. My friend, Art, has taught…
Kevin’s Restaurant in Rock Hill, NY
We drove up to the Catskills this past weekend to celebrate Barb’s brother’s birthday. Happy Birthday Joel. Lets remember that 75 is the new 65. He’s looking great and doing minimal kvetching. Joel’s son and daughter in law, Mike and Lana, have a great house in a lake near Montecello with plenty of rooms. It’s…
Lupa Ristorante in Berkley Heights, NJ
Barb and I found ourselves in Summit for the July 4th weekend visiting our granddaughters. They all had plans for July 4th dinner, so we were on our own with some suggestions from our daughter. The most appealing menu on her list was that of Lupa, two towns over. I was in the mood for…
