Voilà "Good Pork Chop" April 05, 2008 - This was my second visit to Voila. Myself and three friends decided to try it out again since we had such a good experience the first time.I noticed one other review that said to avoid Voila due to the bad service. On this visit and our first visit we had the same (bald) waiter. Both times he was a very good waiter, so I'm hoping that the other reviewer caught this waiter having a bad day, but I hope they will try Voila again and not be turned away by that one experience because they do have good food.On this visit, I tried the Pork Chop. It was quite tasty. It was very tender and was seasoned with Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Garlic, Lemon and Herbs. For the sides, we went with the Green Beans and Frites. The Green Beans were good, but the Frites could have had more flavor.For dessert we had the Lemon Tart and Creme Brulee. Both were very tasty and I recommend them both. We finished them off with a nice cup of Caffe Umbria coffee. |

Betty "Perfect Chicken" March 08, 2008 - My friends and I planned a Friday night dinner at Betty on Queen Anne. The week prior we had tried to just walk in for dinner, but with Betty's popularity it would have been over two hours before we would have been seated. So we decided to go to another restaurant for dinner, but told each other that we would definitely be back to try their food. My stomach growled as we left Betty due to the wonderful aroma of food. On this visit we were prepared. We made reservations and were finally able to try Betty's seemingly popular menu. I liked the layout of Betty. It is a nice, clean, simple restaurant.I started with a mixed green salad topped with a light viniagrette and mozzarella cheese. This was one of the better salads I've tasted in quite a while. The greens were colorful and fresh, and I love shaved mozzarella on a salad, especially when it is served with a healthy portion.Before dinner my friends and I enjoyed some drinks. I tried the Crow Manhattan. Crow is the sister restaurant to Betty, both owned by the same owners. This was slightly different version to the classic Manhattan. This was a good drink to start before the entree was served. It's a good thing we started with some drinks as it took a while to receive our food. Betty is a popular restaurant, and with that comes the wait for your food from a very busy kitchen.Like I said, we had to wait a while for our food to be served. But let me tell you, the wait was well worth it. I ordered the pan roasted chicken served with mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes. The mixed vegetables were green beans and roasted garlic. The beans were cooked perfectly with just the right amount of crispness. The potatoes were whipped to a nice consistency, and were surprisingly flavorful. I'm saving the best for last. The chicken breast was cooked to absolute perfection. The skin was cooked to a golden brown and it wasn't too crispy. The chicken meat was some of the juiciest I've ever tasted. Only a few other times have I ever had the chicken meat almost melt in my mouth, it was so tender. The spices and herbs seared into the skin gave the chicken perfect flavor. The chicken breast was a generous portion. I would have eaten the bone too if I could. I highly recommend the chicken, and I look forward to coming back to try the tenderloin which looked mighty tasty also. Even though there was a slight mixup on our bill, that still didn't dampen my experience at Betty. 2 people like this review - Recommend |

Vios Cafe & Marketplace "Great Tzatziki!" March 02, 2008 - Vios is a great Greek cafe. I had the Chicken Souvlaki and it was very tasty. The staff is very friendly and the tzatziki is some of the best I've ever tasted! 1 person likes this review - Recommend |

Union Square Grill "Great food, great atmosphere....." October 19, 2007 - I recently had dinner at the Union Square Grill for the first time for a friend's birthday. Their pork chops are delicious! It's a little on the pricey side, but with the great food, service and atmosphere, it was well worth it! If you like art deco, this is definitely the place to go. |
