I have hung out at this lovely bar before and I thought I should review it since the staff is so warm and welcoming and the drinks are pretty awesome. I first tried the Dear Irene after heavy recommendations from a friend, and I was not disappointed. It is a mint green color, gin or…

Thank you Lovely’s for your incredible fishwich…. I dined here last week and now I am scheming on how I can go back as soon as possible for another round of greatness. The menu is delectable, the staff is super sweet, the food is to die for, and I can’t believe it took me this…

I come here when I am in the mood for a really tasty veggie burger, the Impossible Burger to be exact. Umami Burger makes them the #BEST. hands down. I have tried these vegan patties all over town, and this place does them justice! Umami has fresh french fries, which my daughter prioritizes because frozen…

One can not go wrong with roasted potatoes of any kind, in my book. Well, Patatas Kitchen has a side dish of roasted potatoes that makes a whole trip to them worth it. Olive oil, sea salt. crispity yum. I came here for the potatoes, and now I return to this place over and over…

Oakland, CA Let me first say how muchI love the food here. The sandwiches, the soups, the salads. The lattes, the teas, the spritzers. The danishes, the baked goods, and other tasty – pretty items at the counter…yes, try them all! I have spent a lot of time studying upstairs in their ‘work’ zone. Back…

I just recently found out that one of my local faves – Luka’s Taproom in Oakland, is making a name for themselves, on the ‘right’ side of history. The owners started Community Kitchens to give back during the quarantine by organizing Oakland city restaurants to feed houseless families, and also by supporting local restaurants to…

Albany, CA My family loves a good pizza night and for a while during the quarantine, Rotten City Pizza delivered up some gourmet goodness right to the comfort of our own home. We would binge on a large regular cheese pizza along with their BBQ baked chicken wings. When we were feeling ‘healthy’ we would…

Street Taco is mind blowing deliciousness, let’s get that straight right off the bat. Fresh, and organic, with super quality ingredients ~ this place is a Mexican food at it’s best. Situated on 9th Street in San Francisco, kind of in a hott area of town, if you will…. You will pass it if you…

I was fortunate enough to stop by Angela’s Kitchen last week. I stopped in for a beet and citrus salad, (that was exquisite, btw), and I realized that I need more time to spend here. Yes, I picked up my salad to-go, bathos I wish I had stayed and ordered more off of the menu….

This old school bar really came thru for me last week when I was floating around the city of Alameda, craving some delicious fried chicken. I found that in the fried chicken wing order at this new place (new to me!) called McGee’s. I researched them online, and then put in my to-go order thru…

Being that I am from the Lone Star state, it just made sense that I would fall in love with a bar called the Lone Star Saloon. Well, it’s really not about the name, or the Texas reference for me. Its really about the great service and cool vibe in this place. I had the…

Can I just say that I may be biased here, but Rumors in SF is an absolute gem of a place. It appears to be a hole in the wall from the outside, but once you get inside, you will see just how big it is. Spacious seating, and even pool tables in the back….
