Great food. The best seared duck we've ever had. Pregnant woman, the tastiest things are not for you to eat. Much to my disappointment (and my hubby's delight), he got to eat all the delicious, delectable bites, (esp off the charcuterie plate), which left me with a lot of salad and soup. Sigh. Next time, I'm going to steal the fois gras bon bon off everyone's plate! I heard how fun it is to eat there- the shared tables and meeting new people. Alas, i was there on anti-social night and did not talk to a single new person except our waiter.

Fun time prices are extremely high. First they told me the wait for bowling was 45 minutes so I got a pool table 10 minutes into game they had a lane so I asked if we could finish the game. They said they would have to give up our spot so I paid for pool for no reason. Then we Bowles which was okay and had a few drinks bartender was very nice.

What can I say - this place is out of this world! We walked in at around 3pm with no line. Ordering was fast and the food was prepared within 10 minutes. We got the potato hash with chicken and vegetables on top, and it was incredibly delicious. The chicken was so tender and tasty, and the hash was so unique and flavorful. I honestly wish I could go back to Pandora just to eat at this place again. I ended up paying less than $15 for my entree and a drink, which is very reasonable for its generous portion. Do not miss this restaurant if you're in animal kingdom!

Really nice little place: I love the blue and orange theme, and the menu is really well chosen although their "veggie dish" signifier applied to dishes with sausage, chicken, and fish in them. (I think it's a very Brazilian take on the term "veggie": it ain't beef.) I had the lasagna de banana--i.e., plantain lasagna. It was super heavy and not really lasagna so much as fried plantains drowned in cheese and baked, but it was certainly good with black beans and rice. My fellow diners had the flatiron steak and the cod capixaba. The steak was good, but, you know, just steak. And the cod capixaba (salt cod with hard boiled eggs, plantain, and coconut milk in a kind of stew) was, by my friend's account, amazing. My only problem with the meal was the fried calamari: the calamari was rubbery and the batter had the consistency of the onion rings they used to serve at my elementary school cafeteria (hint, Ravensworth Elementary School Cafeteria: 1 star). I give these guys 4 stars for food, 5 stars for service, but they get the full 5 because they were willing to seat us without a reservation on a busy night (another party was 15 minutes late and didn't call so we got their table!). They're very friendly people here.

Well that was a fine experience. I got a burrito, chips, and a drink for about $4 after a big coupon which was presumably to get people back in the door after the norovirus outbreak. I trust that after such a high-profile health story affects a financially sound business, they will take measures necessary to fix it. In the mean time, I'm eatin on this here free burrito. I have been to Chipotle twice in my life, both times because I had a free coupon. It's generally a decent deal for good food, since one of those burritos can be stretched to two meals. As a member of not-their-target-demographic, I am still tepidly in favor.

Teddy Rules! Nice guys and great pies! Order here and grab a drink at Irish Village next door. They'll let you bring the pizza in. Awesome subs and sandwiches too. Wings are good. This is not a fancy place, just your basic pizza joint, but the vibes are great. A word of caution however: they are CLOSED SUNDAYS. Teddy is a family man, and that's his family day. So don't give him too much guff about it. Amazing lunch deals too. Terrific value!
