The one off 270?

Yup… pretty good. My only complaint with that place is the menu is TOO big. I'm not kidding, there are probably 50 options.

Congratulations, we celebrated our 10th earlier this year at Rasika West End.

Though home cooking would have been better.
;)

You can cook better Indian than Rasika?

No, I can't.

But I'm a more pleasant server than the cocky/surly Eastern European guy we had.

We just celebrated 18.  I made braised short ribs and polenta ;D

thanks everyone.  Yup, that one.  That is our complaint so far too.  We don't know what to pick!

It's nice not to worry about a hurricane coming this week :)

Heh, that dude was our waiter when we went too. Odd fellow, but the food was incredible.

Also for Founding Farmers, I'm a big fan of the ahi tuna salad. I typically order that or their meatless bacon burger - it's surprisingly tasty.

I think big menus can be a blessing or a curse.  If a restaurant tries to do too much and doesn't do anything well, that's a huge problem.  If there are too many excellent options, that's a wealth of choices and a pretty good bet I'll be coming back.

Hope you enjoy!

I've had that tuna salad there before as well but it had SOOOO many red onions in it I could hardly eat it.

Looking forward to reading your impression!  I just read that Doi Moi gives it a run for its money…

Founding Farmers was awesome!  I had the fried chicken and waffles with mac and cheese (which gave my favorite mac and cheese at Southside 815 a run for its money…but Southside is still my favorite.  Unless I can go to Cochon in NOLA).  Had the bread with dipping areas and warm cookies for dessert.  Husband had the ahi tuna salad and liked it.  Thought the presentation was a little bit strange, but it was tasty.

Loved their cocktails. 

And I thought it was priced really well.

:) :) :) Awesome!

I went to Cinghale's on Saturday night.  Started off with the Arugla salad then the Duck Lasanga, and for my entree I had Bronzini with potatos and for desert I had Tiramisu.  My wife had some squid ink spaghetti with perwinkless and squab as her entree.  The food was pretty good but I don't know it was worth the price.  I still prefer Sotto Sopra for Italian and it is cheaper. 

Sounds great!
