Very cute place, crepes were delicious. We had four crepes between Jimy and myself. Two savory, 2 sweet. I was stuffed, but what was I to do, just try one crepe? Here's the low down, I had the vegan crepe, which was great! It had beans, corn, and a few veggies, with an Indian kind of spice, very good. Jimy got the Chicken Carbonara because they said it was the most popular crepe. He said it was very good and that I was messing up his diet...as violins play softly in the background...or maybe just in my head. I took one for the team too and totally over ate, for you...all my faithful followers.
I asked the crepe guy, who happens to be Moroccan, I know this because Jimy asked, because he's from that side of the world too...anyways I asked the crepes guy what is a favorite sweet crepe, he said the apple, so that's what we got. Jimy saw Oreos & Cream and never mind his diet, we ordered that one too! They were both good, but after I tried the Oreos crepe, I couldn't go back to the apple. All very good and such a cute place. Definitely recommend!
Hearing about it more and more recently...this farm to table restaurant, Coltivare Pizza & Garden, was on the destination list for tonight's date night. We arrive and it's a 1.5-2 hour wait, they do not take reservations. We sit at the bar and between the two of us we had a glass of wine, 3 blonde bombshells, and a Lilly Langtry. Apparently, they just got their liquor license so they are still very limited on the wine and beer, only had 2 beer options. I'm a light weight, so they said the further down you go on the crafted drinks list, the more boozy...so I got the first thing, Lilly Langtry, which was just the right drink for me! It was tangy, sweet, not too strong, just perfect!
Our bartender was owner, Morgan Weber. I asked him what he recommended, he recommended the below appetizers. After he made his recommendations, I asked if he has good taste, or was his taste unique. He said, he thinks his taste is good, haha. I don't think he knew I knew who he was. He recommended the cauliflower and the Bycatch Baccia, which were amazing! BB was light and tangy, with some hints of nuttiness, very good. The cauliflower appetizer to me tasted somewhat similarly to Uchi's brussels sprouts appetizer, but with Uchi it's almost too saucy. This cauliflower dish had the right level of sauce, sweetness, and tang. I think it's better than Uchi's brussels sprouts, and that's saying a lot.
So we finally get seated, our main meal we had the butternut salad, pepperoni & yukon potato pizza, which are Morgan's favorites. All so excellent! The butternut salad, recommended by our server Laney, was tangy, crispy, so good! Great recommendation! The pizzas, I'm not really sure because by this point I started to go into a full force allergic reaction to the amount of alcohol I had, which I really hadn't had a lot. Disclaimer, I have very low tolerance, but the Lilly Langtry was soooo good, I couldn't pace myself. I thought the textures of the pizzas were good, the crust was so crispy. I saved some pizza so I could try again later, but my dining partner thought both were really good. We asked our server, Laney, to surprise us on the dessert and she brought out the pear crostata with a salted something gelato, which I could barely taste. I did sense a salty, sweet, and butteriness. I was very pleased with my entire dining experience, except the 2 hour wait. I thought the atmosphere, food, heart of the restaurant were so excellent. And for everything we ordered, our bill came out to $100, which I thought was so reasonable. Excellent experience, I definitely sense the love in the food, drinks, the whole restaurant, actually. Fabulous experience!
As you can see the pups love it! Especially the chews! What is it? It's a box full of treats, chews, new products and toys that comes once a month. I figured it would be something fun for the dogs, so I went ahead and ordered it as soon as I heard about it. My box is only $19/month and I figured if it comes to be too much, I could always give it as a gift to my followers. If you have a pet and would like to sample or see what one of these boxes are like, post here and the next one that comes in is yours! This service is not in Houston, but from Brooklyn, NY and you know...not matter where the location, I always support great, fun ideas!

Well, it's probably been over a year now since Smashburger has opened. I missed the Yelp grand opening party. I'll be honest, I probably won't be visiting all that much, but hey, it's always good to try new things, even if fast food, once in a while.
I know it's weird going to a joint like this and asking for recommendations, but that's exactly what I did. Yeah I did. I ended up getting the Baja Chicken and the Avocado Club on Sandwich, smash burger fries and a salted caramel milkshake. Both sandwiches were good, I preferred the Baja because it had a nice little kick. The fries were good, but so oily. But, what else do you expect at a fast food restaurant. The salted caramel milk shake...wow....wow...no really, it was a real wower. Soooo good! So tasty! I may come back for that, for sure.
Staff was great, place was clean, and I thought they had fairly healthy choices for a non fast food eater. Please try the salted caramel. If you have to pick one thing, forget the main meal, get a salted caramel milk shake!!!
It's cute, but not a big selection and I found the staff not very helpful or friendly, so I'm not so sure about the chocolates. I sampled one dark chocolate covered almond, and purchased a little container for my mom for mother's day. The others I wasn't sure since I wasn't about to buy a whole container or package without trying them and the lady that helped wasn't very helpful. Definitely not quite the experience I had in Paris. I probably won't be visiting this place again anytime soon.
I so had the wrong impression of Top Golf. All this time I was thinking it was $40/person, but it's really $40 per bay. So, if you're like us and go with 6, it was less than $7/person. That is a deal! Our whole visit cost us just under $50 for 2 including food and golf. That's a steal deal and it was so much fun. As a matter of fact, it's reinforced my interest in taking golf lessons.
It's a little strange, but everyone has to buy a $5 membership card to start. You wait with your party till they buzz you that a bay has opened. Then, if someone else has a $50 priority pass, they can squeeze in before you and you're left waiting again. That's a little rude.
That's ok it gave us time to socialize. Finally we get to our bay and I'm pretty excited. They have heaters over your bay, so that's nice, however ours was not working. But it was fine, it was getting warmer as the day progressed and we had a great time trying to hit our microchipped balls into the different point pods. We had a great time and it's definitely worth the drive out.
Underbelly has been on the top of my to do list, but somehow it's taken this long to visit. I really got a mixed set of reviews, but I have to say, I'm a definite thumbs up for Underbelly. As a matter of fact, I thought they would have more exotic meats, which actually makes me a little apprehensive. I think it's neighbor, Hay Merchant, has chicken feet and fried pig ears, that actually look like pig ears. I was scared. But, I am happy to report, the most exotic thing they had on their menu was maybe, pork belly? Man, I really loved it! Actually, I probably only liked two out of the four main dishes we got, but those two were so so good. My favorites were the Korean rice cake dumplings with braised goat...a definite must try. I also loved the seared Wagyu beef dish...made me have a moment. Anytime a restaurant has Wagyu, it's what I am getting! My party of 4 agreed. We also got the swordfish and butternut squash dish, which were good, but not as fabulous as the two I previously mentioned. For dessert we got the vinegar pie and doughnut dessert. I gave our server permission to surprise us on desserts. The vinegar pie almost tasted like lemon pie...and you know...I love me some lemon pie!
I love a restaurant that has a beautiful interior and Underbelly has it. It's one of those places that you just want to visit often and stay awhile. I like most and don't say it often, but I love loved this restaurant. This is definitely one of my favorite spots!
