My husband and I are fans of Melissa Kelly’s- she started in the northeast. We are considering staying over in Tucson just to go to her restaurant. Is her cooking and her husband’s baking still special for an...

. It is a bigger space at the bottom of an office building. It used to be "Lashers" (yes, of Long Beach fame, but very different from them) and the doors still have the large Lashers “L” on the front. (I find that...

I have been to Nora numerous times and the food has always been something special. In addition, I like the fact that the servers are low key (while still on top of things). Maybe they had an off night. I hope you get a chance to...

Your server will pull over a chair, sit down with you and ask what you’d like. Definitely get a red sauce pasta dish and some antipasto (some meats, cheeses, seafood salad). And a great thing to order, surprisingly, is...

attempts to find our server, we were finally greeted by an unfriendly and forgetful waitress. She even ARGUED with us when we went to the bar for a drink!!! One in fact, that she even forgot to bring. The crab cakes were not...

was visiting and we took her to a very nice restaurant. The dish I wanted to order came with asparagus (another green veg Ive never liked) and as I negotiated a substitute with the server, I told her "I just don’t care for...

Sweet Melissa's on Sanibel fits the bill, and gets you to a special island for a special birthday. They have a nice butterfly garden in front. They are not on the beach, so get some nearby Sanibel sand between your toes, before...

I’m sorry to hear you had terrible service at Farmicia—I go there fairly often myself and have only had good experiences. Perhaps you should contact the management and let them know that the server did not take care...

was a little older. Secondly, we were concerned that the service might have been a little green, but it was terrific. Our server, in particular, was both knowledgeable about the menu and the wines, and very friendly. We began...

: duck&bacon, Kielbasa with onions and peppers, and to try any one of their two dozen beers again. LOVE: -The sausages on display in the deli case. Naked, and oh so full of potential. -The server Melissa with the sweet mug. -The...
