Love First Fridays at Forgotten Tonic. Great “prelude” to concerts at the Cathedral Basilica! Always consistently good!!

We had one of the best meals at Asado Life. We got the Trio where all 3 meats were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Our friends got the Tomahawk, they had 1 left on Thursday and it was huge and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Had a lovely anniversary dinner tonight at Collage. Service was impeccable and the food was amazing. We tried new entrees this time and both were as good as our favorites. The wine recommendation went perfectly with both beef and seafood. This is our favorite place for special occasions.

Reservations are recommended for this restaurant. On arrival I was quickly seated and my waiter Kit was quick to provide me details on the specials of the evening what dishes the restaurant is known for and explanations of some of the wines and they’re fairly extensive wine list. I opted for the pepper beef. It was served with Rosemary mashed potatoes and a side of green beans and carrots, which were all al dente. The beef itself was served medium rare as requested. The entire meal was excellent. Kit also provided recommendations on wines by the glass and the restaurant allows you to sample before you make your buying decision. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Our first experience at a Columbia, but hopefully not our last! We truly enjoyed our dinner from our first steps inside, where we were warmly greeted at the host stand, to the last where I purchased salad dressing, olives and pottery in the gift shop. Seated next to a fountain, we reveled in the trickling water and colorful tiles as well as the careful attentions of our server Virginia. The 1905 salad was a delicious starter. My only regret was I don’t have a large enough appetite to have tried any of the three amazing-sounding soups as well. My husband’s Palomilla steak was tender and flavorful and he adores platanos, so he was content. My cannelloni de langosta was lobster in a flavorful, creamy sauce-so good! Our server Virginia definitely made our experience outstanding. On learning it was my birthday celebration, she brought our flan with a candle. Perfect ending to a memorable dinner. Can’t say enough good things about this experience. Will definitely seek them out whenever we are in Florida.
