Has anyone checked out the Laguna Culinary Arts Gourmet Cheese and Wine Shop?
Laguna Culinary Arts is a multi-faceted cooking school offering hands-on classes for cooks of all levels of experience, from casual beginners to serious professionals.
]]>Anyone else have any surprisingly yummy recommendations to share?
]]>What are some your favorites? Any wineries you thought were particularly good to visit? Any other tips, tricks, or suggestions?
Right now, we’re particularly enjoying Albarino whites (from the Rías Baixas region of Spain) and any bubbly (Cava, Prosecco, Champagne, etc.). We recently took a side trip to Temecula, and tried out Wiens and Miramonte.
Our last real wine adventure took us to Preston and Meeker, among others. We rather enjoyed our experience at Alpha Omega.
For those who keep more than a few bottles at a time and like to keep track of them, I would recommend Cellar Tracker.
]]>So finally went over on Sunday with my son to catch part of the 1:00 PM game and
have lunch and a beer.
So here is the Review. Pro and Con style.
Pro:
Great sports bar TV setup. You can watch all the games and they did a great job setting up the TV`s
for easy viewing anywhere in the Bar/Restaurant.
Like 20 selections of beer on tap. Reasonable prices.
Great sauces on the wings going from mild to “Insane Hot”
Cons:
Service is still really poor and slow. Normal for a restaurant starting up a couple weeks ago.
If your into maintaining some personal space. This may not be your restaurant. They spent hours jamming every
inch of the restaurant with as many tables as was physically possible. Its elbow to armpit with the table next to you
in the bar area in particular.
Bring your own paper towels. They give you the cheapest napkins ever made. Using them is like using toilet paper
to get the sauce off your fingers. Nothing like little chunks of paper to get off your fingers while you eat.
Wings are like $ 7.99 for 7 pieces. And they are some of the smallest wings I have ever eaten. Nothing Buffalo
about these skinny little dudes.
Bring your ID. Now I expect my son to get carded. He looks only about 25. But when you card my obviously over 50
person its a little stupid. But these corporations need to protect themselves. So just card everybody. Hooters does this too.
I will give Buffalo Wild wings another go and try some of the other sauces and hope the service is better.
But how the stock for this company can be about $ 40.00 is beyond me. Your going to get much better food value
over at Wingstop or at even someplace more upscale like Yardhouse.
Anybody else try this place yet ?
