Food Fights!

Wazuzu (Encore Hotel & Casino)

WaZooom!

Yes, that is is the zound of money flying out of your bank account for mediorcre Pan-Asian casino food fare.  I guess I shouldn’t have set my expectations so high.  But the joint is three doors down from the Hermes store!  Interior is really innovative.  Staff is helpful.   I stopped in for some quick Sushi.  Portions are really skimpy, and the prices are really uncalled for in light of the quality and the quantity.

Volare is Vunderful!

ok…here is the first two inches of the menu:

Bruschetta Tradizionale
Toasted Italian bread, chopped tomatoes, olive oil and basil
Carpaccio di Manzo
Thinly sliced beef with Arugula, parmesan cheese, lemon capers and olive oil.
Antipasto all’ Italiana
Imported Italian meats and cheeses and seasonal vegetables
Melanzane alla Napolitana
Layered breaded eggplant with Arugula, tomato and homemade fresh mozzarella.

Get the picture!  This place is the Italiano’s Italian ristroante!  As we were walking past the Drake Hotel in Chicago, we elected to approach the concierge and ask for a recommendation for a good Italian joint.  Turns out, she was full blooded Italiano!  She said, let me call Vito and see if we can get you in.  The rest is history.  Along with the Miracle Mile, add the Miracle Antipasta to the list whilst visiting the City of Wind.

The Goat is Great!

Before reading this review, you must know that i visited the Goat during a U of Tex football game. I hear their team is ok. Anyway, this place is an absolute crazytown during afore mentioned festivities.

Do you remember the days when life was simple, people did things without all the flash and fireworks? Well I don’t either. But the Goat does a few simple things very well. Burgers and Tacos. The prices cant be beat.

Go to the Goat!!!

The cioppino is manna from heaven!

One of the really great places in SFO isnt in SFO.  Just drive across the GG to Scoma’s.  Located in the center of Sausalito, a rich fat cat enclave overlooking the bay.  They serve great fresh seafood with an emphasis on the local.  My fav by far is a poor man’s fish stew or Cioppino.  Red sause mixed with everything fish.  Not to be missed.

Italian Kitchen=Little piece of Italy in the GEG

One of the very best Italian joints in the pac northwest.  Food is all original and cooked to order.  Desserts are worth the calories!  Outside of the building is really not anything to write home about but the food and the beautiful bar inside make up for it.
