little ms foodie

also has anyone been to Michel Rostang in years? Heard anything?

Heading back in 2 weeks for my birthday. We're only going to be in town 2 nights. The first will be casual at Ver Jus wine bar. Saturday (bday) we planned on Chateaubriand- called upon their opening today (2 weeks) only to be told they are already booked. GRRRRRRRRRR!! Suggestions for a semi-fancy, modern French place for a party of 6 on a Sat night that still might be taking ressies?

I've got some recent good cocktail info from my last two visits here: http://luggagetag.blogspot.com/2012/08/bon-appetite-sante-paris-part-une.html http://luggagetag.blogspot.com/2012/09/bon-appetite-paris-sante-paris-part-deux.html My favorite right now is probably Candalaria and Conserverie

LOL!! you are too much

We are heading there tomorrow night, I'll report back!

in August I had a very good lunch at Saturne, good but both my dishes needed a bit of salt. Still I'd go back. I also had a fantastic dinner at Comptoir du Relais. Stunning. Have loved Frenchie Wine Bar. If you are in the area and in need of a quick nosh the tacos at Candalaria are surprisingly good. Heading back to Paris for my birthday in Dec. Looking forward to ongoing reviews so I can choose a great dinner. Thinking Vivant? Sola? Yam'tcha?

I haven't been to the Skillet Diner yet and was thinking of going this weekend with some friends. I know it got some meh reviews at first (but so did Poppy which is now a favorite of mine). Has anyone been recently? Also I can't tell from their website if they take reservations?

Hello! Last month on our way to and from Punta Cana we did two overnights in Miami. We decided to stay on the Biscayne Bay side which was perfect (as we were already spending a week on a beach). one night at the Hotel InterContinental and one night at the Kimpton Epic. We ate at the Yardbird which I loved. We don't get a lot of true southern food in Seattle so the delicious fried green tomatoes, cheddar waffle with chow chow and fried chicken were welcome treats. Oh and they have a lot of Bourbon. We also ate at Ole! which a friend suggested. Although I found the location and dining r

Hi BOM'ers! I'm doing social media for Seattle City Search and just posted asking about the area's best cheeseburgers. Who knows better than you all?? I'd love it if you'd chime in with your opinions CitySearchSeattle Many thanks in advance!!

We drink a lot of blueberry caprihaina's (sp) in the summer. I also love blueberry handpies- make them up and keep them in the freezer (like poptarts) and then just stick them in the toaster when needed. And speaking of freezing I always try to freeze a bunch- loose on a sheet pan and then pop them into ziplock bags. Then you can use them in the winter for pies, muffins, pancakes and yogurt toppings when all that is in season are apples

So where have you booked?

lunch also booked at Saturne. Yam'tcha is closed during that time - boo/hiss Also if anyone is going to be in town Aug 19-22 I'd love to meet up!

I recently found myself in their bar, a sweet and sticky cocktail menu mess of sorts. But good to know that the food is better. It is a pretty place

Sola is opened near the end of August. So is Saturne. I believe Mini Palais is open all August, though I have heard not so great recent reports. Agape Substance was my favorite last year, especially my dinner there in May (even better than my July dinner). Thanks Nancy, we have lunch booked at Mini so I will report back. my friend really wants to try it, fingers crossed. I'm going to check on those others right now!

Tighe, we are very excited about it, and yes you really need to get up there for a 'regular' dinner- if they can be called that!
