I’ve been driving by Kretch’s for several years and have been wondering what kind of restaurant it might be. Nobody I’ve asked has been there or heard anything about it. Last month my friends Sol and Carin told me they have eaten there several times and enjoyed it. They said the food was sort ofContinue reading “Kretch’s on Marco Island”

The night before Sol and Carin returned to New Jersey we decided to have dinner at Verdi’s on Marco Island. We ate there several times last year and enjoyed all of our meals. They have comfortable seating outdoors with heaters. They permit me to bring wine for a $20 corkage fee. They also have aContinue reading “Verdi’s American Bistro on Marco Island”

We chose to have dinner at Kareem’s a few nights ago. They have a nice outdoors setup and excellent Lebanese cuisine. Their wines by the glass were good and I’ve always enjoyed a Lebanese Bordeaux blend that they always have on the menu. We also ordered a plate of three different Hummuses, which I didn’tContinue reading “Kareem’s Lebanese Kitchen in East Naples”

This is the first time I’m following up on a place that I have previously posted. Thai Sushi by KJ has been our favorite local spot for sushi since we found it. The sushi is always fresh, delicious, creatively and beautifully presented. The servers are nice and the ambiance is very pleasant, sometimes loud. TheContinue reading “Return to Thai Sushi by KJ on Marco Island”

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”
