Sea Harvest Fish Market
Of all the time I have spent in Carmel or visited there, I always take time to head to the Crossroads Shopping Center on every trip. Why? Because located there is the Sea Harvest Fish Market & Restaurant. Also, because there Lauren and I delight in buying some of the freshest seafood available. From shrimp […]
C Restaurant + Bar
On a whim – as is often the case for us – we headed to California this past October. We had longed for the ocean breezes and the crash of waves on the shores of the California coast. Of all the many stops in the Carmel area, one memorable venue in particular was the Intercontinental […]
Catch
Although I cannot be certain, it would appear from the menu that Catch Restaurant acquired its name because of its heavily laden / abundant-with-seafood menu selections. On our first day in Carmel during a recent trip for an anniversary celebration, we were casually strolling along the south side of Ocean Avenue and passed a restaurant […]
Lumberyard Bar & Grill
Heading to the northern climes once again – and hoping to score some good scenery (like fall colors) – we stopped off in a medium-sized city for the night: Marshfield, Wisconsin. There, we had dinner at Lumberyard Bar & Grill. (This page may contain affiliate links. Read our disclosure about affiliate links.) Some Brief History […]
Wissota High Shores Supper Club
As I look back at (a part of) my career, it somehow does not seem possible that I have written as many reviews as records would indicate I have. The number is somewhere north of 150… But I digress. So, here I am, contemplating a review of a dinner Lauren and I enjoyed recently at […]
5 O’Clock Club
The 5 O’Clock Club has an incredible view, sitting atop a hill that overlooks Granite Lake. It’s 155 acres of scenic beauty with plenty of your favorite fish species. But wait! I’m getting way ahead of myself… Getting Comfortable Again Lauren and I have – at least temporarily – reconnected with a long-time friend. You’ll […]
Little Traveler Brunch
When it comes to shopping, for anything in any season, there are few better or more authentic venues. The Little Traveler has been a proud part of Geneva’s history and has served well, countless generations of patrons. Brunch in the Storied Atrium Café The Traveler has been – and will always continue to be – […]
Sandbar & Grill
An interesting address, I mused. We parked the car right on the long pier that extended out into the Pacific Ocean. Delicately sequestered beneath “Wharf #2” — amongst the power- and sailboats — of Monterey Harbor is a friendly little place that, should I return to live on the left coast once again, I could, […]
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse
One could easily believe that either 1) I have been hired by Flemings to write good things about them or 2) I have become enamored and addicted to the food at Fleming’s. Neither is true; it could however, reasonably be argued that I am somewhat enamored of what I have found at Fleming’s. Size is […]
Pegasus Restaurant & Taverna
It was only supposed to be dinner with friends — not a night out to do a review. But when an experience is memorable, pleasing and fun, it is almost impossible for me to refrain from writing about it. Such was the case last night when Lauren and I headed to Chicago’s Greek Town with […]
