FREE sushi & sake at Imperia!
It sounds too good to be true, which is why I’m giving you such advance notice. Thursday July 3rd, Imperia introduces SUSHI to its already award-winning offerings. From 6-8, the restaurant will be serving complementary sushi and sake. I’ll be there. I haven’t been to Imperia, though it’s definitely on my list of want-to-go-there places.…
Coffeeshop: Dominican Joe’s
So I checked out another new coffeeshop this week: Dominican Joe’s. It sprouted up on South Congress and Riverside about a year or two ago, and I hadn’t been yet, so when I was looking for a new coffeeshop to try and their website promised me empanadas, I was sold. Unfortunately, the empanadas were beyond…
Here’s a Secret: Snow Pea
Amazingly delicious sushi. It won Best of Citysearch in 2006 for sushi and Chinese food, yet you never hear/read anyone talk about it. It’s on Jefferson right at 35th, so it’s pretty close to downtown, but it doesn’t get any of the hype Maiko/Kenichi/Uchi get. But it is SO GOOD. We went for Mom’s birthday…

Review: The Grove Wine Bar / Kitchen
It was my first food-induced coma. A friend and I went to The Grove Wine Bar / Kitchen for a leisurely lunch today. It’s a new wine bar/restaurant just west of the corner of 360 and Bee Caves, on Bee Caves. It has an awesome patio with huge tress shading the entire thing–hence the name…
Restaurants: Houston vs. Austin
I was in Houston this weekend for my brother’s graduation from Rice, so we went out to eat a lot–gotta celebrate with professors, friends, and the girlfriend’s fam. Hitting so many restaurants in so few days left me wondering about Austin’s dining scene: is it up to snuff? Sure, Houston has the highest number of…
Two To Try: Silhouette Sushi and Tacodeli
Tried two new restaurants last night and for lunch today, and both were stellar! Silhouette Sushi: a hidden gem, “cheap eats ’08” by citysearch.com Chances are you’ve walked past Silhouette and not noticed it, or you’ve seen it and never known what it was. Apparently downtown businessmen know all about it, but downtown revelers looking…
