i also went to limon on wednesday night with my visiting sister from nyc. we thought the space was lovely with the two tiered balcony setup and the colors and decor was as tasteful as most of the food we sampled. we went for a...

For lunch near the Met, I highly recommend Cafe Boulud, on 76th St., b/t 5th & Madison. While this may be 4-star chef Daniel Boulud’s second tier restaurant, the cuisine is absolutely first-rate! Service is very polished,...

For pastry, Cafe Besalu, in Ballard, is top-drawer, with Bakery Nouveau in the same tier. Nuveau won our local croissant taste-off, but only by a nose over Besalu, and it wasn’t clear if the drive across the bridge caused...

but invisible to passing motorists. Frankly, I did not expect this Korean operation to be in my middle tier at all. This space used to be Sue’s Sushi, a kaiten (boat sushi) operation. (By the way, did I mention that before...

for a fairly easy restaurant to get a table for a group of 10, with a bar/lounge? location: near the Ktown area (so Hollywood/Los Feliz/Silverlake/Mid Wilshire are all good). food: mid-tier decent quality / reasonable prices /...

comfortable, because it is less crowded, less noisy and the tables better spaced. Do make reservations soon if you’re planning to eat at some of these top-tier places, they might still be hard to come by on friday and...

will never buy top tier fish because most guests will not know or care. 3) Catering conditions (heat, space, light) are sup-par for sushi making. So...either resign yourself to rolls and lower tier products (whatever the caterer...

Hi, I’m an architect researching spaces and buildings related to food consumption and production, and am currently in Barcelona and later Madrid, for a week each. Can anyone reccomend a range of high and low endemic...

Definitely Eleven Madison Park. Chef Daniel Humm’s cuisine is sensational, service is first rate, and the space is gorgeous. The perfect place to celebrate a special occasion. http://www.elevenmadisonpark.com

My wife and I went initially to see what was up. We had a wonderful meal then, and each time since, now been 4x. First, the space is worth the visit, but its nothing without the food. High quality ingridients being used in...

with the antiques of the previous tenant. A tier below Lowenbrau Keller, but designed to the hilt nonetheless. They were playing opera and classic movie themes like Moon River at full blast and the scene was totally surreal....

6555 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy Open 7 days for lunch and dinner On RM’s rec, used my coupon for this place tonight. It’s a pleasant space in a strip mall, not too far out on Hwy 10. They have decent decor, minus the...

Lalimes is great. Consistently good food, reasonably good prices. I put it in that middle tier of places that includes Rivoli, Citron and Bay Wolf.

You are talking about Birria Estilo Jalisco. It has been in the nieghborhood for many years. I think it just moved into a different space up the street. I have not eaten there in years, but recall that it was good.

problem is that the space is pretty dumpy (uncomfortable chairs, bad lighting, tightly packed tables) and the music is both bad and extremely loud. My feelings are mixed- the food’s worth the trip but you may want to bring...
