This was a totally unexpected, spur of the moment dinner that was absolutely impeccable and well worth the wait! You may be wondering, “how long of a wait could it have been, if it was an impromptu dinner?” Well, remember the L.A. Street Food Festival that I mentioned attending in June 2012? Well, at that […]
Fig & Olive (Newport Beach, CA)
For my guy’s birthday, his family wanted to take everyone out to Fig & Olive. Remember, I loved it when we went for Father’s Day this year in this post! Besides the beautiful food, the ambiance is beautiful in this newest location as well! Here is a view of the exterior with a beautifully lit […]
Bouchon (Las Vegas, NV)
This is Bouchon‘s 5th appearance on my two blogs in less than a year! Wow! The first appearance was for Mother’s Day Brunch in L.A., while the second and third times were dinners in Las Vegas. The fourth time was for the Carnival of Cuisine just yesterday with their scrumptious macarons and hot chocolate. You might think that we have […]
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria (Las Vegas, NV)
Okay, so we WERE stuffed from the Carnival of Cuisine earlier in the day, but we only had a few drinks at Public House at dinner time. So by the time we were hungry again, it was super late and all we had access to were the late night pubs with bar snacks… and Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, […]
Public House (Las Vegas, NV)

Carnival of Cuisine (Las Vegas, NV)
As you may know, we were in Las Vegas for an event, but I never said what event… It was the 6th Annual Carnival of Cuisine at The Venetian and The Palazzo! Now, you may have never heard of this, which is part of their “Winter in Venice” celebration, but it is oh-so fun. 🙂 […]
Pamplemousse Le Restaurant (Las Vegas, NV)
We were in Las Vegas with my family over the weekend and my dad made reservations for the whole family at this restaurant called Pamplemousse Le Restaurant. He was majorly excited because it was a second branch of the amazing Pamplemousse in the San Diego area… or so he thought. It did not even occur to […]
Nick’s on 2nd (Long Beach, CA)
I had to meet my mom for a quick lunch and we decided to meet at Nick’s on 2nd, which was the former site of one of her favorite restaurants called Bono’s that closed a while back. She wanted to give the new spot a chance, so off we went! I love vintage, so I think the […]
