I have been hearing a lot of hype about Cerulean with all the pre-opening dinners they   have had around town, and was hoping the food would live up to it. Hubby and I have been anxious to try something new and decided to give it a go on its first weekend officially open.   This isn’t something I normally do because I like to give a place a chance to work out the kinks, but this time I just decided I’d try it and maybe not write about it.   But our dinner was so good; I figured I needed to share. The first thing you notice about the restaurant is how clean and modern the interior is—there is a giant wooden “nest” in the restaurant which looks pretty cool, but I was kind of glad we weren’t seated in there just yet because it still smelled of pretty fresh timber and of new construction, which I think would have distracted me a bit from the food.  Once it settles in though, it is a nice slightly more private part of the restaurant.  The rest of it is made up simple...

*********H2O is CLOSED ************** Ok, so H2O is one of my favorite places. I probably go out to dinner there more than almost anywhere (and carry out, etc).  I was thinking, if you have just started reading my blog, or have a memory like I do, or just don’t know me personally, you may not realize this.  Therefore, I decided it was time for a revisit.  I have also had a couple of great meals the last couple of times I have been, but didn’t take pictures of one, so I decided to make an effort this last time. We were with my in-laws, who had never been before, and are generally not sushi eaters, but they were game to try any place we liked so much.   We got a bunch of different stuff and shared.   The first thing (as always) was the tuna tartare ($14).   This is a staple for me and I think I would cry if I was told I couldn’t have it. I know I have talked about it before, but it is diced tuna that has been marinated in ginger, soy and lemon and mixed with ...

Because of the breakfast kick I have been thinking about Good Morning Mama’s lately, but we generally only go out to eat breakfast on the weekends, and the place is crazy on the weekends.  So we decided to try it for lunch instead.  It was definitely not as crazy busy for lunch. It was a cold day and something hot and melty sounded good—so I ordered the spinach melt ($6.99).   It was exactly what I wanted.   It was spinach and walnut pesto mixed with seasoned cream cheese, Swiss cheese, tomato and bacon all pressed together in a Panini press on wheat bread.   It was really good. Everything inside was warm and I really appreciated the bacon on the sandwich—honestly it made it for me.   I loved the creamy spinach taste which had that earthy flavor from the walnuts, but the saltiness and the denser texture of the bacon was the perfect combo together. It would just be too creamy without the bacon.   I debated on which side to get because I wanted something...

A couple of people had asked me about or mentioned this place to me, and it is really close to my house, so we thought we’d give it a try with the kids for lunch.   It is a taqueria, so you go up and order what you want, and they pretty much fill it however you like (extra charge for guacamole and queso).   The thing that makes this place stand out from the standard quick service Mexican place is the fact that they press fresh flour tortillas to order.   You go up and pick your vehicle (burrito, taco, etc) and they get out an appropriately sized dough ball, press it, and fill it.   The meat choices were chicken, beef, carnitas or you could have a veggies. I had the taco option ($4.75) which comes with 2 tacos. I had one chicken and one carnitas (the beef was a little too gray and cubed looking for me).   They took smaller discs of dough and pressed them into the right size for tacos.   I had mine filled with the meat, cheese, salsa and pico de gallo.  ...

I told you I was on a breakfast and sushi kick, and here’s the next sushi venture. I met my friend @IndyFoodSwap for lunch at isushi in Carmel the other day—she and I have enjoyed our share of sushi together and are pretty compatible in what we like (for instance, we are both big fans of the Crazy Ho at H2O—possibly one of my favorite rolls ever).  The menu at isushi is quite large as far as rolls go and there are some interesting combos that I haven’t seen before.  Quite a few of them involve krab stick and/or cream cheese though which are generally non starters for me. Suzanne had the salad to start and I had miso soup.  The ginger dressing on the salad was your standard Japanese restaurant version—leaning more toward the tangy gingery side than the creamier type that you sometimes see (and which Suzanne is now spoiled for from Sushi Bar ). It was basic iceberg and dressing. The miso soup was pretty standard too. Honestly, I don’t think you can vary it that much and pre...

We met up with some friends of ours and their kids the other night at Thr3e Wise Men (I still have a really hard time typing that name).  I have only eaten in the place once before, and it was outside and quite awhile ago, so I figured a revisit was in order (we have ordered carry out several times before). The place was very busy and I didn’t think we would get seated right away until we saw there is a small back room as well—it feels a little removed from the restaurant, but was probably for the best given that my son and his best friend were there together.  I like how kid friendly they are at Thr3e Wisemen as well—they give them crayons as well as a little dough ball to play with, which seemed to make them all happy.  There is also fresh popcorn delivered right away which the kids love as well. The adults were happy because we had a long table and could sit down at the other end and have some adult conversation. We started with some loaded potato chips ($6.50) which a...

If you read my blog regularly, you know I get into food kicks that have me craving certain types of food. Fried chicken, burgers, whatever. Right now I am on a sushi binge as well as a breakfast search.   I have always loved breakfast food, but we seem to be trying a lot of places lately with the kids on the weekends.   I am realizing that even when you order pretty much the same thing breakfast-wise, the quality varies greatly. The other day we decided to head to Steer In for a lunch/breakfast combo. I have been there once before but I was by myself, and hubby has always wanted to try it too.  We got there around noon and I was a little nervous that it would be packed—I was happy to see that while it was busy, it wasn’t so packed that we couldn’t get seated immediately. Hubby and I made our usual negotiations, and I got breakfast ($5.79) and he got a pork tenderloin sandwich ($7.29).   We agreed to share.   The kids got French toast from the kids menu ($3...

Hubby and I intended to go to Sabbatical the other night when we ended up at the Sushi Bar, and have been determined to go ever since.   We ended up meeting some friends the other night for dinner—I always like having a few extra people to try tapas (which is generally what makes up the menu at Sabbatical) so I can try lots of things.   I am looking back though and thinking maybe this is not as good idea as it sounds because it means I have a lot of items to remember when I go to write it up. My first reaction to the place is that the interior is really more of a bar feel than a restaurant feel.  Honestly, I haven’t been in the building in many, many years and I am not sure what the different incarnations have been like, but the interior is a little cold.  I think when the patio is open; this restaurant will visually have more appeal. Hubby and I got there first and ordered a glass of wine and a couple of small things that we thought most people would like—the bread ...
