30. December 2012: Restaurant Casa de Reyes
Although the Restaurant Casa de Reyes is located in Old Town San Diego (so a pretty touristic area) the food is astonishingly good. Once you are seated, Nachos and Spicy Sauce are brought to your table. The nachos are tasty, the sauce is original spicy like in Mexico. As a main course I had the […]
30. December 2012 – 1. January 2013: Restaurant Prinzimini @ The Westin Gaslamp Quarter
Breakfast at the Restaurant Prinzimini is quite okay. For only USD 19.50 you get access to the breakfast buffet. The choices offered at the buffet are rather limited ranging from bacon, egg, waffles, bread, fruit, yoghurt, and cereals. You also get to order coffee, tea, and some juices. Overall, the food is quite okay. I […]
29. December 2012: Restaurant Urban
The Restaurant Urban was recommended by the Hotel I was staying at – and it was a good recommendation. It is located in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego and as usually I checked in and found a nice surprise – if you check in on foursquare.com you get a starter for free! So, I […]
28. December 2012: Eiffel Tower Restaurant
Lunching at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant definitely sounds cheesy and it is to some degree – but it is also quite a nice experience. The bread which was served in the beginning was empty inside and tasted great. As a starter I had “Cold Foie Gras Torchon (Duck Prosciutto, Fig Compote, Brioche; USD 19.00)” which […]
27. – 29. December 2012: Breakfast Restaurant @Embassy Suites Convention Center
The omelette station at the Breakfast Restaurant @Embassy Suites Convention Center in Las Vegas is okay – the selection ranges from bacon, ham, jalapeños, peppers to onions – the omelette is fine and so are the ingredients but the cheese put on the omelette at the end is just a big no-go. Synthetic crap! The […]
25. – 26. December 2012: Circa 55 Restaurant @The Beverly Hilton
The Continental Breakfast (USD 21.00) at the Circa 55 Restaurant in The Beverly Hilton is quite okay but definitely nothing outstanding. The selection is pretty limited with some salmon (quite greasy), two kinds of cold cuts, and four different kind of cheeses while two of them being very articial. The fruit selection is pretty okay […]
25. December 2012: Restaurant Trastevere
As obviously there was not much open on the 25th, I was not expecting anything when entering the Restaurant Trastevere and I was positively surprised when leaving. I went for the “Gnocchi Ripieni” (stuffed gnocchi with four cheeses with roasted sausage, mushrooms and cream sauce; USD 19.00) and the sauce was definitely tasty, way more […]
24. December 2012: EWR – LAX UA1165 Inflight Menu
The starter was a piece of smoked salmon on some lettuce accompanied by a salad. And well, it was eatable – but that is pretty much it. Definitely nothing good, outstanding, or anything the like. Pretty regular airplane food that is. The main course was chicken with some kind of vegetables and potatoes. The chicken […]
