This place was very eleagant very nice a pleasure to dine here you not only get one waiter but two makes you feel special. My Sister in law and I had Steak and lobster it was the best Filet mignon I ever ate I am not a filet person but this one had the best flavor I think I ever had it's cooked on a wood fire. The Lobster was a very large tail excellent flavor. My friend Nina ordered the bone in ribeye Very large steak she liked it alot I love ribeye but I gotta say the Filet beat it.  They also have delishes Cheese bread they give you before and during he meal comes hot and fresh.

Went to Karmens B.B.Q for lunch today was looking for a Tri tip sandwich. This place just opened in Tracy about a week ago they have shops in Hayward and also in Fremont, Ca. Family owned and operated for 32 years.
Well getting back to the food They dont sell sandwiches they give you meat on a plate and potatoe salad and a slice of bread cut in half for $7.00 dollars, Not a bad price you do get alot of meat as you can see in the picture I had the mild sauce it was very good lots of flavor meat was very tender they dont have tri tip it's Brisket. 1 to 5 rating I give it a 4 I will definetly go back but im taking my own roll I want a sandwich.

Went to Garcia's yesterday It's in Carmicheal Ca, When you sit down tey bring you a basket of chips and salsa just as every mexican restaurant does they also give you a bean and cheese dip these are complamentry. Also ordered the cheese crisp for starter It's a crispy flour tortilla with chedder and montery jack cheese on top served on a pizza pan, It was pretty tasty. Ordered the green chili pork burrito Well it wasn't green it was more like a brown sauce Im used to a chili verde burrito this was not that. I wasn't to happy with it but that could just be me. also got the fried ice cream for dessert was pretty disapointed the out side should have neen crispy it was soggy not to good for me.

Dad's Kitchen In Sacramento Ca.

Went to Dad's Kitchen in Sac, The other day it was nice evening went with friends. Ordered the Onion rings they come with a basalmic glaze on top ours were little soggy and not very hot like they were sitting for a little bit so make sure you ask them to be hot and crunchy. My son ordered the Mac and cheese not to tasty he wasn't very impressed kinda bland to my taste. We went for the dad's burger it was very good and very tasty the burger is cooked with the blue cheese and bacon cook on top at the sametime and comes on a very soft bun. Fri's were very tasty you have a choice reg, seasoned, Blue cheese and habanaro, I ordered the blu cheese and habanaro they were excellent. My Sister in Law ordered the chili cheese fri's they come in a preety good size soup bowl covered with shreded pork and cheese they were also very good. I do recomend this place it is pretty small in side and noisy. there is a very nice patio.

Jamie's Bar and Grill In Sacramento,Ca.





Went to Jamie's Bar and Grill had another wonderful meal. This place is Great love it everytime I go here. You would never know from the out side that it's even a bar or a restaurant. Its located at 427 Broadway in Sac. Their closed on the weekends. The building is just plain there is no sign saying the name just a green awning with the address. http://www.jamiesbroadwaygrille.com. We ordered the Smoked prime rib, The Halibit fish and chips which they get their fish in fresh everyday flown in from Alaska, Tri tip sandwich, And the Garlic Steak Sandwich (Filet Mignon) MMMmmmMMM Good food! Clam chowder Is number one! The prices are alittle high but worth every penny. This place is a must go!!! 5 Stars!!! The Smoked prime Rib was excellent smoke flavor just burst in your mouth soon as it enters WoW... Prime Rib is served only from tuesday - friday Its a 1 pound Piece of meat.  Fish and chips 4 large pieces just the right amount of batter homemade tarter sauce was excellet. Tri tip was the best to me the sandwich was piled so high it was hard to fit it in my mouth but the flavor was awsome! Didn't try the Garlic Steak Sandwich (Filet Mignon)
But my sister in law loves it she always orders it when we go here. Can't wait to go back The staff are always friendly make you feel welcome everytime.

The Duck Club Restaurant, In Lafayette Ca.

Sorry I haven't Blogged For a while...




Went to the Duck club restaurant in Lafayette,ca. It was very nice alot smaller then what I expected but a very nice restaurant, Had French onion soup to start it was very good lots of flavor it has Gruyere cheese not swiss also topped with onion strings very differnt but i liked it alot. Full leaf ceaser salad my parents sheared it the kitchen split it, It was still a nice size for each person. Entrees I ordered the Cider-Brined double cut Pork Chop Came with yams and grilled apples, For me the yams were to small of chunks the apples were not cooked enough the chop was very good. Mom ordered the sour dough crusted Halibut she enjoyed it came with broccoli rabe it was not very tasty she said to green and bitter. Dad ordered the Veal Osso buco he didn't like it said it was over done not to much flavor so he gave it back and got the Rack of lamb he loved it lots of flavor. Brother ordered the NY strip steak with fries, He ordered it med-well it came well I really wont even comment on it ordering a steak Med-well to me its like why bother. But thats my opinion. Over all it was a lovly evening I would go back for the soup and really thats about all. The prices were what you would pay at any fine dining restaurant. 1 to 5 scale I do give it a 4 rating cause it is a nice place for a special occasion.
