What a surprise this place was for my mom and myself. We walked in without a reservation around 7pm on a Sat, and the hostess sat us in 5 min even though anyone else who came in had to wait 20 min. Amazing, maybe they saw a mother/daughter pair and wanted us to feel special! […]

This is a shot of the baby Chocolate cake I ordered (second time I ate at Fava in 3 weeks), it was delicious but a little toooo sweet at the end. My main meal was the Almond Crusted Trout with Pancetta (second time I ate it) but the best was the butternut squash […]

We went here for dinner last Wed after wandering around the MFA for free. I got the chicken coconut soup (so delicious) to start, along with sharing the combo app (amazing). For dinner I had the seafod pad thai which was so spicy and yummy at the same time that I kept sweating profusely but […]

We were at Caneel Bay in St. John, USVI for 5 wonderful nights, over Labor Day weekend. This place was so amazing, it felt like we had entered paradise when the Caneel Bay boat sailed into the dock. The sky was blue, water was blue-turquoise, and the sand was white. Birds flying overhead. We LOVED […]

As I mentioned in the Mikla review, Scott and I wanted a more authentic Turkish dining experience for our last evening in istanbul, so we opted for a seafood restaurant right on the Bosphorus! We went here with another couple, and we all loved it. The fresh grilled fish was perfect, and we got to […]

Scott and I stayed here for the Falmouth Road Race weekend (I ran it in 1 hr, 6 min, 47 sec, yay!) and we had the best time here. Deb gave us bikes courtesy of the B&B, and we biked all around Woods Hole and Falmouth, stopping for occasional swims in the Atlantic and some […]

This meal at Mikla was July 27, 2006 - but we can still recall all the minarets lit up for a religious holiday that night, and the incredible view of the city from the seventh? floor of the Pera Hotel. The food was like something we could get at a swanky place in Boston, but […]

Check out the 3-course prix fixe menu that we enjoyed on Sun, Aug 20, 2006 with my in-laws and close friends of ours. The majority did the wine-pairing, which made this an incredible bargain. My fav was the wild mussel chowder, yummy - light not too heavy on the cream. plentiful and tender mussels, plus […]

Phusion Grille is a great contemporary/eclectic mix restaurant at Woods Hole, MA - right on the water. We enjoyed a lobster bisque and the tuna sushi over fried wontons for apps. For entrees, Scott got the lamb loin special, and I enjoyed a 1.5 pound lobster in a spicy asian coconut sauce, YUM!

This was the BEST hotel to stay at in istanbul, Turkey. The staff, service, quality, food, and LAUNDRY service was amazing. We especially loved the view of Hagia Sophia from the rooftop terrace and our room, rm #304.
