Il Mulino – Tuna Carpaccio, Rigatoni con Funghi, and Cerni

This dining experience took place on Friday, March 28, 2014

We put Il Mulino to a real test on the last Friday night in March – we didn’t contact Angela (manager) ahead of time to let her know we were coming in for dinner, we just showed up and got a table. We

Shula’s Steakhouse, Dolphin Resort – Lamb Chops

This dining experience took place on March 14, 2014

Alert: This was a very nice dining experience. We enjoyed the service, the food was cooked properly, and most of the food was quite good. The main course, the lamb chops, had some issues with butchering NOT with taste; we aren’t likely to order

bluezoo lounge – new item – BZ BURGER #burgerchangeslife

This dining experience took place on March 27, 2014

When we were at bluezoo for the new menu debut (here), Chad tweeted that we had to come back and try the new items on the lounge menu… especially the new burger, in fact he said #burgerchangeslife.

Okay, this we’ve got to see!

We

This dining experience took place on February 21, 2014

I’ll get to the food in a moment, the drinks menu at the bluezoo lounge has undergone a periodic transformation (note: the dining room menu is expecting to change before the end of March)… So, of course, since a night at bluezoo starts with

bluezoo, we tried something new (two things actually)

This visit to bluezoo began with my visit to Mandara Spa (Balinese Massage), and nick waited for me in the bluezoo lounge. At the time, they were working on changing the cocktail menu and he had the opportunity to try the White Negroni … verdict, it’s very smooth.

We’ve talked about having the raw bar

Kimono’s Sushi Bar – an accidental Valentine’s Dinner

We try to go out to dinner on Friday evenings… usually nothing extreme, drinks and a few nibbles or a light dinner… usually at the Swan and Dolphin Resorts. Well, this year, Valentine’s Day was on a Friday and we found ourselves at Kimono’s Sushi Bar… We haven’t been here in a long while and

We return to Il Mulino after a long hiatus

We haven’t been to Il Mulino in quite a while (we think it’s been about 3 years). Why? Well, our first three visits, not long after the location reopened as Il Mulino were all pretty disastrous. One visit with just us went poorly… the service wasn’t good and the food was only moderately good. The

Our first dinner at Shula’s

Surprisingly, we’ve never eaten at Shula’s Steakhouse in the Dolphin. Well, maybe it isn’t so surprising since we aren’t steak eaters (and this visit to Shula’s has undone that). But, Joseph from bluezoo recently moved to Shula’s and since he was our favorite server there, we had to go see him in his new place.

Breakfast at Fresh Mediterranean Market at the Dolphin Resort

We had never eaten at Fresh before this breakfast in December. A couple of reasons: (1) we’re rarely at this resort in the mornings and (2) it’s a buffet with an a la carte option [much like Garden Grove]… However, we’ve decided that we should give eateries at the Swan and Dolphin resorts that AREN’T
