I really liked McGuire’s Irish Pub. It had been recommended to me by several people before my trip. I was really happy to see that it was a block away from my hotel. I therefore didn’t have to worry about what I had to drink. I ate here both nights I was in town.

I have been wanting to write a review for this place since I came here for the first time.
Visited last night with my friends for the third time. By now I have tried pretty much all their specialties.

Mr. Flay, I thoroughly respect your culinary skills but this place is an embarrassment. We were extremely excited to go to one of your restaurants for the first time but I don’t think we’ll be back anytime soon.

I stopped in after visiting The Met and got a regular slice. The crust was crispy and the sauce just right. The staff were friendly. I agree with the other reviewers that the place is really small, but it wasn’t packed when I went, so I got a stool along the window. All-in-all, it was a great experience and very good pizza.

Minibar is more than just an upscale dinner, it is a very personable and interactive dining experience. I’ve been to restaurants that promised this type of experience (The Restaurant at Meadowood) and ones that provided this type of experience as a secondary benefit (like the chefs presenting the courses at Saison), but no restaurant has delivered an experience quite like minibar.

I don’t live in Portland, nor have I been in close proximity to the city for an entire year, but I have managed to go twice.

Mo-Chica is a hidden gem. Their ceviche, oxtail, lamb, passionfruit creme brulee…all very very good. Yet they’re in a strip mall with a bunch of fast food places. So weird. But the prices aren’t bad.

We stopped in here mid-morning Friday the 14th for coffee and pasty. Nice little bakery. A good selection of bread and pastries. The staff were very friendly and patient (not rushing us to decide).

Tasting menu (Omakase) though quite a hefty penny is one of the best ways to go here. There was 7 courses total including a dessert and I loved 6 out the 7 which included the tuna tartar, yellowtail sashimi, oyster with foi gras and uni (OMG DELICOUS), the 5 piece tuna plate, wagyu beef/lobster and the mango/passion fruit sorbet with dried yogurt… literally every dish was delicious and i wish I had more servings of each.

Pizza is one of those polarizing foods. Everyone has deeply held convictions of what it ought to be, their own Platonic Ideal of Pizza, from thinness of crust, tartness of tomato sauce to quality of cheese. Most people have been eating it regularly and often, frozen or out of a box, since before they can remember - especially if “they”, ahem, are from New York, where “stopping for a slice” is the equivalent of grabbing a bag of Doritos.

On a recent Saturday night after midnight we were turned down by both STK and the Dutch because they had both just closed for the evening. Luckily, Mr. Chow was happy to seat us.

Four course tasting menu and arepa is the (only) way to go. Ingredients are fresh everyday and sourced from local purveyors. The best part is that you’re basically sitting in the kitchen and get to watch the chef do his magic. Next time we’ll bring our own wine.

First time eating soul food… my fabulous boss brought me here for a lunch meeting. Needless to say, the “meeting” went out the window and we just chowed down for a good hour. Red beans over rice, mac n cheese, cornbread, catfish… I felt like I was in the movie, Soul Food (can I be Nia Long for a day?)

Remember when you were a kid and you could eat practically anything short of a car tire and run it off, sleep it off, shrug it off? Yeah, well, there’s a certain age you reach where that just doesn’t work anymore. And Ms. Tootsies is your wake up call.

That said, their Tomato Soup is OK. It’s nice to have to dip the Grilled Cheese Sandwich in. So, I would recommend ordering the Combo.

Bring your sense of humor and get ready to eat, drink, and be merry. Mustard’s is set up to delight both your funny bone and your palate.

The food wasn’t that bad but they should give more for the price they are charging. I’m not from the area and this place was the least busiest and wanted to continue my last experience of Detriot food before heading back home.

I still think they take a long time to make the sandwich but I guess it’s “freshly” prepared (they warm up the meat in the microwave) but whatever, it’s good and convenient. Recommend if you live on the LES or if you’re passing through!

I walked in there a few days ago with a date, looking for a hot cup of apple cider. We asked the waitress and she informed us it was only available as part of the brunch menu.

Absolutely Fantastic!! The service and food was impeccable with an atmosphere that was vibrant and energetic, a great place to start your morning off.
