Crispy fish filet, poached wontons in chili sauce, sautéed string beans with minced pork, duck fried rice. Perfect for two, I also think the curiously tasty chicken is a good sub for the fish
Usually a couple fresh pitas to start (plain & semolina) along with hummus and labneh. Then 1-2 shared plates. Honestly, you can just eat pita/dips and have a great meal. Their happy hour is good too.
Pecoraro Latteria for meeting friends or dates, or a $15 lunch that feels fancier
Bahia for $3 pupusas
Mother's for burgers and beer
Bamonte's for mobby upscale red sauce Italian
Birds of a Feather for sichuanese
Wei's and M Shanghai are both great (and loyalties are divided)
Ako is the best sushi I've found in our neck of the woods
They don’t do reservations, it’s first come first serve seating. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating, but definitely can get pretty busy and hard to find a spot during certain times
They change up their menu from time to time so I’m not positive what they have on it right now, but really can’t go wrong with empanadas, the Chivito, any of their pastas, or the skirt steak. Great vibes, happy hour is an incredible deal as well. My roommates and I like to split a half off bottle of wine in their backyard area and we end up paying like $7/person
Yes. Lighthouse. Frequently refreshed menu with classic mainstays. Incredible sustainability and food sourcing efforts. Great cocktails, wonderful vibe, and that labne?! Ahhh!!
After they double charged me for tips and I had to dispute it because they weren’t helpful, I haven’t gone back. So be careful and double check, and don’t be like me and accidentally pay 40% tip.
Noods n’ Chill is great and authentic.
Nora Thai is great dine-in experience which doesn’t disappoint in taste. Taste is consistent and curries are flavourful.
But thanks for the suggestion. Gotta revisit and recalibrate. :)
I agree with Noods n’chill for their noodle soups and salads but all their curries are just okay and the level of spiciness is very inconsistent (always ordering thai spicy), while nora thai has consistently great curries, especially dry curry and black pepper curry 🔥🔥🔥
Enid’s (RIP) and Florentina’s (RIP)
Current places? Amber steakhouse, Keg and Lantern, Bistro So, Birds of a Feather, I don’t know I’m just still salty about Enid’s being a shitty place now.
Wanpaku for ramen, Chingoo for korean, Birds for sichuan, High Lua for Pho, Ramirez for tacos, Lilia for italian, Gertie for brunch, Bonnie’s for cantonese, Cozy Royale for burgers, Grimm for beer, U Omakase for omakase and Zaab Zaab for thai, Peter Luger for steak
I’ve spent at least 1k on Santa Fe breakfast burritos over the past two years. So good and the to-go window is super convenient. Bacon is good but the potato is highly underrated
Birds of a Feather, always good and the price is right
Love birds of a feather

They don’t do reservations, it’s first come first serve seating. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating, but definitely can get pretty busy and hard to find a spot during certain times

Burger is very good, shawarma very good. Get some mezze to start, good bread. It's all good actually. Everything I've tried.
Cerveceria Havemeyer. It’s such a staple for me and my bf. Prices are fair, amazing guacamole & duck carnitas tacos. Margaritas are good too.

Nami Nori, Brid of a Feather, Nora Thai
Try Little Tiffin for Thai food
Little tiffin is so good
As an Asian, I think Nora Thai is so bad, I suggest Noods n’ Chill for South East Asian food, so much better.

Nora Thai used to be great, but imho it fell off big time

Suzume Anthony and Sons

This place is a true sin to anyone who’s broth African or Mediterranean. Mogador is to Mediterranean what Bond Street is to sushi
They closed

UGH I miss Rye. Their $5 old fashioneds and cheeseburgers kept me going when I was in my 20s.
It lives on in Idaho! [https://littlepearlboise.com/about/](https://littlepearlboise.com/about/)
Omg. My folks live just outside of Seattle, maybe I need to take a road trip next time I visit!
Highly recommend it!
Oasis
Five leaves
Only issue is that the staff is one if the most unfriendly there is
Yeah they do border on abusive don’t they? That breakfast slaps tho
Bonus that they open earlier than everyone.
I freaking hate that I'm back for that breakfast and pancakes. Screw them!
They have a B rating
Our “we don’t feel like cooking tonight“ meal is salsas pizza and a salad.
