Don’t forget Zettis! Looks like they closed their elmwood location.

I was supposed to have a family gathering at Mulberry’s tonight, but we cancelled it. I guess I will stay home, make BLT’s and watch the Olympics.

this is something i would love to use more. It sounds like whining, but there is a reason why we want everything from banking to ordering delivery at our fingertips. Its easier to search an app for suggestions and open tables than it is to call 10 places. I have also had reservations “lost” after making them weeks in advance. For some reason restaurants in our area dont recognize the impact NOT having an online presence (or an updated one) has on their business.

CRAVing’s twitter feed this week has been a shining example of a restaurant that understands social media, knows their audience, and gets how to engage with customers.

A great example of a place that DOESNT get it? Fiamma. It’s closed, again. This time I think for good.

Remington is fine. It’s gigantic and the noise from the (generally) busy bar floods throughout the building. It’s fun to do drinks and the raw bar though with a few friends!

I must have JUST missed you. I walked over for a whiskey last night.

Yes, it’s good, especially the calamari, but not anywhere near as good as Chang’s Garden was that burned down. I haven’t had that good of chinese since.
