North Quarter Tavern
📍 Address: 861 N Orange Ave, Orlando
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
A true "scratch" kitchen. We've been twice now, and two 5 stars! The steak and frites was awesome (fries are perfect). Last night i had the tomato salad and wings. Perfection!!! Dessert was cookies and malted milk. Just do it...even if you're too stuffed to move, get it! Everything, included in the ketchup, is homemade! That kind of dedication really shows in the food. The service has been on point too. BONUS: we just discovered an extra bar room to the left when you walk in. It's darker, has a bunch of board games to play, and has a different menu for bar snacks!
Pine State Biscuits
📍 Address: 2204 NE Alberta St, Portland
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
So let's get straight to the skinny. The man and myself are both professional cooks. We love to eat, and we love to eat some more. This place was delicious. The service, well... be prepared to wait. The seating? A mess... so get ready to try and snag a seat and cozy up to some new friends. The shrimp and grits? BANGIN', our son who is 10 months old loved it! We had the Reggie and McIsley. Be prepared to get down and dirty. It may not be easy to get these babies in your mouth but it's well worth it.
Bondir Cambridge
📍 Address: 279A Broadway, Cambridge
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4)
Just another person to put a feather in Bondir's cap. I had changed my reservation from Saturday to Sunday and they were very accomodating. The service throughout the meal was excellent. The ambiance was perfect and warm, despite it being a freezing night in Boston. The food was interesting, complicated without being pretentious and just perfect. Great wine list with plenty of affordable choices. We shared a few of the half-size portions so that we would have the opportunity to try more dishes. One plate was better than the next... Bondir makes you feel far away from home - like you've been transported from East Cambridge to some perfect home in the French Countryside. We loved it!
Hyatt Regency Atlanta Perimeter at Villa Christina
📍 Address: 4000 Summit Blvd, Atlanta
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3.5)
Overall the hotel staff was very friendly. The rooms and hotel overall was very nice and trendy. The shower in my room could have used a good scrub down on the grout. Overall though very nice hotel!
RAM Restaurant and Brewery
📍 Address: 6632 Longshore St, Dublin
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐ (3)
The beer is really good, and the food is as well. What sets RAM apart is the individuals that work here. Miles in particular was a stand out. We had a group of us wanting to watch the Masters Golf, and he made sure the sound was on in the bar area. YOU DA MAAAN!
Monica's Mercato
📍 Address: 130 Salem St, Boston
⭐ Stars:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5)
Monica's is an awesome little walk-in deli and market in the North End. This has become my go-to place on nice days when I want to grab some take-away food, and walk down to the harbor for people and boat watching. the bread is super fresh and fillings top notch. My favs are the chicken parm, a killer Italian sub, and the Italian steak tips with extra hot peppers. Delish. You can also pick up cheese, wine, boutique sodas, and fresh pasta.
