One Bite



A while ago we spotted this "new kid" on the block of japanese restaurants on one of our many trips to/from our dentist office . We even mentioned a few times that we wanted to try it since it was so close to our house and we like sushi so much. However, it was one of those places we never remembered -not even the name- unless we drove by it.

Out of the blue, a couple of months ago the Groupon of the day was for a japanese-tapas restaurant, we bought it intrigued by this new concept since we had never been to one that wasn't spanish tapas before. Little did we know it was the same place, we realized it the moment we were turning up the street, partly because, as I mentioned before, we didn't remember the name and partly because the directions and address given by Groupon were taking us to Quivera St instead of Antioch St.

Room 39













This “Seasonal American” restaurant, as described on their website, shows pride in using local ingredients to provide the best flavors on your plate. I have to agree with them, loved pretty much everything I had.

Mr. Mather and I celebrated our birthdays here with the 4 course meal they recommend for first timers. You get soup or salad, one half appetizer, one half entree and one half dessert. My husband opted for soup and salad and skipped dessert (knowing Paciugo would be on our way home, of course). How to even begin to describe the food.






It's all because of the food.

Oh, my lonely and forgotten blog. I haven't been good with the updates lately, although I have been busy, it hasn't been entirely because of that. I have to say that the increasing frustration with my internet provider and the constant let-ME-try-to-type attitude from Ursula, my cat, have some to do with it, but most importantly I blame it on the food.
