After a round of tennis at the World of Tennis, we headed to Rocco's Grill where we had made reservations. We thought we could turn left directly into the plaza from Lakeway Blvd but nope- you have to turn left onto 620 and then turn left after you see Wells Fargo. The decor of the restaurant is definitely interesting with original art painted on walls and even ceilings. Most interesting is

On this Sunday evening we decided to try out the Blue Dahlia Bistro restaurant in east Austin. The neighborhood itself around the restaurant has a lot of construction. Parking for the Blue Dahlia was a bit hard to find since they don't have their own parking lot, so we ended up passing the restaurant (which is on 11th street) and parking a block away on Lydia St.The Blue Dahlia certainly had a

We made a reservation for 3 people for Sunday at 7 PM for the Melting Pot at downtown Austin on East 3rd Street. Parking was a problem. We parked in what we thought was a parking lot right next to the restaurant but as we were getting out a guy came and told us that we would be towed. We asked him where does he think we can park and he said the only ones available are valet. Hmmm- sounded

We've been to Clay Pit Indian Restaurant in Austin several times for dinner, but never for their lunch buffet so we decided to check it out. I called ahead to make sure that it is indeed on- and they confirmed that lunch buffet was from 12-3 PM. It was $12 a person. There was traffic on the I-35 so we didn't get to the Clay Pit until 2:20. There were a wide variety of curries and paneer. The

We went to Curra Grill on Oltorf in Austin on a Sunday evening. It didn't look very impressive on the outside, and was crowded by not overly so. The hostess asked whether if we wanted to sit inside or out, and when we asked for inside she had to go into another section to check whether if there was room. Once it was confirmed we got a table inside right next to the window wall to the outside.

We were at Miami Beach the day before a Caribbean cruise. It was around 6:30 PM and we walked to Ocean Dr and looked for a place to eat. We've been at a Ocean Drive restaurant before at our previous NCL Caribbean cruise (Western Caribbean with the Norwegian Sun), so we knew what to expect. Every restaurant had a soliciting hostess but all the menus pretty much looked the same.We wanted

We were looking for a place to go to for Valentine's Day via Restaurant.com and decided to try out Bistro 88 which seemed to have good reviews online. It is supposed to be a Asian Fusion restaurant of the East-meets-West variety. We called ahead and they said they would be having a fixed course menu for Valentines but they haven't decided yet and would call us back with the menu. They never

We were on a vacation trip to New York and the East Coast. It was about 9 PM when we got to Time Square so we decided to get some drinks at McDonald's there. The menu looked pretty expensive- at least 25% more than the McDonlad's we're used to going. It's justifiable I suppose since they probably have to pay high rent costs at this popular NYC location. We got a large ice tea and a diet coke

While browsing around Restaurant.com, we noticed that Louie's 106 restaurant has a $25 off $35 coupon certificate for it. The menu looked pretty good so we decided to check it out. It was a Sunday so I called at around noon to make a reservation for the evening, but no one answered the phone. It turns out that they only offer dinner service, and on Sundays they're open from 6 to 10 PM. I

We read several positive reviews of Cafe Josie online so we decided to check it out. It was recommended as a romantic restaurant, so we decided to go on Valentine's Day. I called a couple weeks before to make a reservation. A credit card number was required to hold the reservation, and the person said if we don't show up and didn't cancel our reservation a week before Valentines, the card
