South End Buttery Cafe & Restaurant Review

South End Buttery

My Opinions:  I adore coffee. Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Peets, and the like ... and I have got to say, I really like the coffee drinks here! They're strong and flavorful, but without a hint of bitterness - The bakery and cafe food here is very good too with fresh quality ingredients, but pretty expensive - They offer a sit-down dinner option, but this doesn't strike me as a place to go for a "meal" - Service is good, though they run on lean means, which can slow down the delivery process.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Peanut Buttery – Yogurt Parfait – Mixed Greens – Buttery Club – Chicken Caesar Wrap – Red Velvet Cupcakes – Chocolate-Hazelnut Cupcakes – Peanut Butter Reese’s Pieces Cookies

Turtle Club Restaurant Review

Turtle Club Restaurant

My Opinions: The service and food were good, but you really come here for the scenery. This was my first time here, and I can't wait to come back. I had the opportunity to experience the on-beach dining, and it was beautiful, especially when the sun starts to set ... plan to get there about a half-hour before sundown and wear shoes you can kick off so you can feel the sand between your toes!  To note: Once night falls, there are some pesky sand bugs that really pick at you, so I finished my dinner inside.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Harvest Salad – Fresh Pear Salad – Oak Grilled Filet of Beef Tenderloin – New York Strip Steak – Chocolate Turtle Ice Cream Pie

Chops City Grill Restaurant Review

Chops City Grill

My Opinions: Service was decent and the food was good, but not fine dining quality – the ambiance was what you'd expect of a typical steak house – Bar scene is nice in theory, but was spotty in reality

Caliterra Restaurant Review

Caliterra Bar & Grille at the Hilton

My Opinions: The food is surprisingly good, fresh and well prepared – Service is excellent at the bar – The décor is comfortable and basic – Bar scene is hit-or-miss because of the Hilton Hotel, it’s not a typical pick-up spot, but can offer some interesting patrons

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Chicken lettuce Wraps – Wild Mushroom Pizza – Pepperoni Pizza – Heirloom Tomato Salad – Filet Mignon Sandwich – Chicken Panini – Turkey Panini

Troquet Restaurant & Bar

Troquet

My Opinions: I started coming here for the cheese and discovered this restaurant had a lot more to offer!  They have a lovely cheese cart that they bring to you and cut your portions as you select them - Their wine list is fantastic, and they offer tasting portions so you can try more than you usually would be able to (drink responsibly) - The newer small bar by the front is nice, and best in the summer season - When I finally ventured upstairs one evening, I found a flavorful menu of meats and fish - the seating is spread out, so you don't feel like you're sitting with the table next to you - in this photo, I've actually sat at the boot by the window 

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Marinated Beet Salad – Ricotta Cavatelli – Crispy Duck Confit – Short Rib Canneloni – Roasted Sucking Pig – Veal – Hazelnut Mille

Lobby Bar & Kitchen Restaurant Review

Lobby Bar & Kitchen

My Opinions: The food is surprisingly tasty - the bar is a basic bar, with friendly service - the setup is like a mini casual lounge - We all like outside dining during our warm season, so their sidewalk-tables are a great offering.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Beet Salad – Duck Quesadilla – Petit Filet Sliders – Risotto – Steak Frites

Ivy Restaurant Review

Ivy Restaurant

My Opinions: The bar service is typically very good, but the wait service could use some refinement - When they first opened, the food used to all be excellent. Currently, the dishes' quality and flavors can range from good to disappointing ... luckly they offer tapas-style dining so you can try a variety of plates - Their affordable wine menu has always been the biggest draw - To note, the bar can be a good after-work meeting ground

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Ivy House salad – Italian Butcher Block – Arancinis – Fettuccine with Meatballs – Steak Frites – Chicken Cacciatore – Tortellini alla Panna

BiNA Osteria Restaurant Review

BiNA Osteria

My Opinions: Service is average – Food is of high-quality but sometimes the flavor pairings are a bit harsh and disconnected – As odd as this may sound, I think their pizza is the best item on the menu – Interior Decor is simple and modern, but doesn’t get the crowd it requires to be very lively – Bar offers some unique mixed drinks and some special wines by the glass – Private parties of 30+ are the most suitable for the bar/lounge and they will work with you to bring in your own wine/alcohol for a corking fee

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Rabbit Pate – Mozzarella di Bufala - Prosciutto Pizza – Bistecca – Pollo
