Barb and Julie are plucking their eyebrows into a high inquisitive arch - to keep people guessing what they are curious about. They ask me to take them somewhere special for an evening of entertainment - fine dining - special and different drinks in an upbeat setting. I of course knew the right place - we’re going “Clubbing” tonight

After my return to Spread the Restaurant for the first time in about a year, I am happy to report that changes have been made. Not that it wasn’t good to begin with (it was), but now it’s even better.

They have changed their serving style to be more in the tapas approach. ...

"Gimme a PBR Tall Can." I order so many of these things that all I have to do now is either show my face to one of the friendly bartenders or imitate the size of the can with my hands.

Drinks: Beer is dirt cheap, and so are the cocktails. Where else in San Diego can you get a stiff ...

I walked into the Cesar Cigar Lounge and was nearly floored over by the delightful aroma of fine cigars. Finely dressed men and women lined the bar and sat at tables. I stared at the racks of wine and liquor, glimmering in the low light, as I took a seat.

I don’t know much about ...

Barb and I were enjoying the soothing comfort; while relaxing at Croce's Restaurant located in the heart of the San Diego historic Gaslamp Quarter. While we were sipping "Tangerine mimosas" and waiting for dinner to arrive my cell phone chimed. I don't usually take calls during dinner, but the number calling told me it was Mitch and I was anxious to see if he had ...

"One more," I tell the bartender. "Fancy meeting you here". Chimes a familiar voice. "What --- you're not washing down crab empanadas with watermelon martinis", I hear Julie say.

We were at the Lei Lounge, and that is two of their specialties.

"I'm not in the mood"; how have you been?"

"As usual, thanks. I recieved an e-mail yesterday from Barb; she talked about the good time ...

This North Park restaurant, located on University Avenue just west of 30th next door to the remodeled theater and across from Clare de Lunes.

This is one of the few locavore restaurants that is also vegetarian.  They use eggs and dairy, but not meat.  The decor seems to be in transition; it began as a funky pop place, with plastic chairs and flatware, and live DJs on the weekends, even during ...

Il Fornaio has other locations in California, 15 others to be exact. From Carmel to Corte Madera, from Beverly Hills to Palo Alto, if you'd like to have a perfect power lunch on the west coast, Il Fornaio has a table waiting for you. But there may be no better table --- and no more effective power lunch --- than the ocean-view seating on the piazza at the well-regarded Il ...

The smell is really the thing about it: as if someone had piled a crate of oranges, stacks of grapes and melons then lit them with a vanilla candle.

Walking through the doors of Fumari you feel as though you have entered some ancient Chinese opium den, or the court of a Persian king; and it even looks the part too. There aren’t ...
