Went back to CLEMENTINE just for a few cocktails and their steak tartar which again was very good, couple of pics and I'll go back again I'm sure love this spot. Last few pictures are of that short visit.

Today's review however, is for DOSC in downtown Edmonton. Decided to try out their brunch, Edify magazine recommended it, but unfortunately the experience didn't meet our expectations.

We arrived without reservations (didn't see the option on the website) so the wait was to be expected, about 15 minutes. Once at the table however, one expects things to run a little more smoothly. We waited about 15 more minutes for a cappuccino and a pot of tea and another 15 for the meal. We ordered 2 different types of egg benny and although they looked great both arrived cold. Thankfully the customer service at this point was great and they hurried a refire which arrived about 10 minutes later. The flavors were good but nothing out of this world, I really was expecting more (MEAT's bennys blow these out of the water). I really enjoyed their Salad Verte and the crispy hashbrowns had a great texture as well, so it wasn't a total disappintment. The brisket on the Benny was chewy and overcooked, that was unfortunate but they properly poached the eggs at least which is so important.

We'll have to try DOSC at night, see if all the hype is really deserved. 5/10 for this experience.

Just a quick stop at WOODWORK but it was wonderful. Excellent selection of cocktails and the brussel sprouts were amazing. The tartar was just ok, a bit bland but still tasty. Will be back to try more, nice looking menu and a great bar. 7.5/10

Just go!!! Pick up the phone and make a reservation for SABOR. jesus everything was so delicious Haha!

So my friend Manuel booked our reservation late in the week and they had to squeeze us in. This was evident once they took us to our first table that was in the back room beside the coat closet 🤦🏼‍♀️But I was excited about the menu so we sat and began to enjoy our night. Our waitress was Ching and I found her to be in too much of a rush with everything and when asked for recommendations wasn't very helpful in that she just read me the menu essentially rather than relying on her our knowledge or clients' experiences.

AAAAAAAnyway, we ordered the house red Cab Sav Grand Reserve from Chile and it was quite nice. Along with that we asked for the bacon wrapped dates, stuffed piquillo peppers and an assortment of empanadillas. The flavors in all of these were so different and close your eyes and moan delicious.

By the time ordering our main course came I had tired of the noise coming from the adjoining club battling the restaurant's music as well as the strong vibration and Express style service so we asked to be moved to a better table. Wish granted!! We ended up in what I would think is the best spot in the house, near the entrance overlooking their bar and the rest of the restaurant. Now my evening of culinary bliss could continue!!

Sooooo we ordered not only the Seafood Platter but also the full rack of lamb 🤤🤤🤤🤤oh em ji...everything was cooked perfectly, so tasty and the sauces provided were just wow. I loved it all and of course a bunch had to be packed up because we ALWAYS we leave space for dessert. The passionfruit (maracuya) cheesecake recommended by our new funny, personable and attentive waiter Richard was on point as it wasn't too heavy, sp fresh and delicious. The pastel de nata was also a creamy crispy delight and paired with our digestive (fernet and cant remember) plus our coffee and mint tea rounded off the night nicely. Even danced a short merengue before heading home. We will be back to Sabor for sure, I need their charcuterie and tapas in my life...can't wait to try them all!! Bravo!!!! 9.5/10

Well, going out to eat is one thing but having to prepare it yourself is another!! It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end! We will go back for sure to the SORRENTINO'S COOKING CLASSES.

The menu was AMAZING!!!! We prepared the dessert first, cheesecake, as it had to cook for a while to be ready on time, it was quick and easy to prepare and turned out delicious! The soup was a bit more involved but still a simple preparation and yummmmmm, important to know jot to overcook the fish and mussels in the soup but otherwise a very simple yet scrumptious treat! We got to enjoy that right in the kitchen. Then went on to prepare the final course which was the roasted potatoes and the sirloin grilled steak with chimichurri.....I'll just say this....I suddenly feel like steak should not be eaten without chimichurri anymore!!! So effing yum!!!!

So either we are amazing chefs or the ingredients are top shelf or both but it was all so awesome. They even let us take out own wine which made the prepping even more fun and delectable! We will be back for a pasta or pizza class for sure!!! Thank you! 9/10 only because it felt like we were being rushed out a bit by the end and they had no bajativos or the waitresses didn't know where to look for them (digestives?? Like mint, amaretto, fernet, limoncello etc.). We weren't offered coffee or tea or anything either. Otherwise a really awesome experience 💛🙌 can't wait to try it out again!!

A visit to Costco in Sherwood Park took us to MEXICO LINDO for a late lunch and we enjoyed it. We had the Queso Fundido with mushrooms, chorizo and peppers to start, the strechiness was epic lol tasty too although La Patrona's version tops it for sure. We then had the Shrimp Tacos and the Green Enchiladas. Tacos were delicious and the enchiladas were just ok but maybe because by the time we got to them they had cooled. We were so full though, portions are well sized. We made room for the Tres Leches cake and it was moist and tasty. Ambience was decent, as was the service. I want to go back to try their specialty which I can't remember the name of but it's like a grilling pot full of yummy goodness. Molcajetes! That's what it was! Anyway. Want to try that one day. Will go back, 7/10. :)

Last night I was treated to an amazing meal at downtown's RUTH'S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE.

You're greeted by a very friendly and efficient team of hosts and then led into a beautiful dining room with incredibly high ceilings, big comfy booths, an enormous and gorgeous fireplace with Ruth hanging overhead and another lovely team of servers ready to take care of you.

The menu is amazing.....had I not looked at it before arriving it would have taken me forever to choose as everything looks amazing. The wine list is extensive, surprised me to see no Chilean wines on the menu but the midrange Malbec we chose was delicious so no love lost. We picked the spicy shrimp and crab stuffed mushroom caps as our appys, the shrimp were very good and the mushrooms were tasty but you couldn't really taste the crab which was a little disappointing. We were then served, on sizzling hot plates which apparently their signature style of serving, a 16oz ribeye for him and the lambchops for me. Oh my God....I had my eyes closed for most of the time just savoring....so good. As our sides the brusselsprouts with bacon and the grilled asparagus were a perfect match and cooked to perfection in both cases. Yum yum yum. Couldn't leave without trying dessert of course, he had the raspberry gelato and I downed a huge and delicious creme brulee. Ah, forgot to mention that my date had mentioned it was a belated Vday dinner and the hostess sprinkled hearts all over the centre of the table as we sat down, nice touches lile that definitely make all the difference. Appreciated!!
All in all the meal, the service and the ambience were all fantastic. I would go back in a heart beat and only take off one point for not having one Carmenere (or even just a Chilean red wine in general) on their huge wine list. 9/10...can't wait to return and next time will reserve a booth!! Enjoy!!

Last night was an amazing 3 hours. We started at CLEMENTINE on Jasper ave and 119st and oh my, my, my. Margaritas were on point and our server Mitch had no problem making it the way I like with no sugar and a spicy rim. The chef's choice charcuterie board, the pork ribs and the beef tartar were all SO SO SO delicious. A little bit of cartilage in the ribs but nothing too overwhelming. I would have liked more cheese on the board but it was the small version so I'm guessing the large might have more variety.

The only complaint I had, and made, was a server who was just a disaster. Rude, inattentive, no eye contact, fast and short answers to any questions about the food or future events etc Just make sure you're served by Mitch and not the bald guy and you'll be golden lol someone like him normally could have ruined the evening but considering Mitch was wonderful, the ambience and music were great and the food was phenomenal he quickly faded into the background.

We ended up at the Candlelight Concerts night of Queen at Allard hall and it was just wonderful. I recommend that experience wholly and it's happening again on April 16th, enjoy!

We headed over to VIOLINOS just off 124st today for a late lunch. They had just opened apparently when we arrived so we weren't greeted right away and they were getting themselves sorted out so that wasn't the best way to begin but the service improved throughout the meal thankfully.

We started with the lobster artichoke dip and so that my daughter could see the "show" ordered the chicken alfredo flambé that they are known for. They light the huge asiago cheese wheel on fire essentially and then toss the already prepared pasta in there for some extra creaminess. My little one loved the process so it was worth trying for sure. The flavor of that dish was good but was missing something and I discovered what by adding some of the lobster dip to it...yummmmm. That dip was really yummy although I preferred it on it's own or in the pasta or even on the house bread over the pita it came with. Just preference I guess. We then ordered the surf and turf special Eugenia told us about that came with a 12oz steak (I forget the cut sorry!), a lobster tail and some other seafood. That plate was very good. The steak was cooked rare and to perfection. The tail was small but tasty and the shrimp and scallops although they were few were flavorful as well. With that we were stuffed but HAD to try their desserts. The molten lava cake and the tiramisu came and my daughter DEVOURED the chocolate cake and vanilla icecream. The tiramisu left a lot to be desired, you'll have a much better version at Bianco or Tiramisu on 124st for sure.

I would go back to Violinos as the menu has many amazing looking dishes. I'd love to try their take on lamb and kind of wish I had tried one of their interesting looking salads as well. I wasn't overly impressed but enjoyed the meal for sure as the ambience is quite comfortable and quiet considering it's in what used to be a house. I did feel quite a draft though so if we come back during the winter I would likely ask for a table upstairs. Go try Violinos, I think you'll enjoy your meal :)

Last night we hit BRASSERIE BARDOT for supper before going to meet with more friends for drinks. The house is lovely and has been made into a truly beautiful shrine for that incredible beauty. We didnt check out the upstairs but chose to take a table in the main dining area as it seemed a bit cramped in their other small section on the main floor.

We ordered the French onion soup, the baked brie and the scallops as appetizers. The soup was tasty and a nice sized portion, nothing out of this world but definitely was worth trying. The Brie however, was close your eyes and moan loudly until other patrons are uncomfortable DELICIOUS!!!!! SOOOOO so so so good! It's wrapped in filo pastry and baked and then comes with candied pecans and a berry type of sauce. OH EM JI!! I will go back just for this dish and the dessert. The scallops were just ok, only 3 and were slightly undercooked, I wasn't a fan of their presentation either. So 1/3 wins made us decide to just share one more plate and then order more food at the next spot so we picked the seafood crepes. Just ok, not very nicely presented and nothing special. Thankfully though we said we can't leave without trying a dessert and we shared the cheesecake AMD there was a lot more moaning lol It was just amazing, a festival of flavors and textures. I will be back at BB solely to have a bottle of wine with the brie and cheesecake :) 7/10.

We then went to BOTTEGA to meet our friends and of course we ate more Haha this time I'll recommend their wood-fired pizza. I asked for a half and half as the owner was at our table and it didn't disappoint. The mushroom medley was my fave but the pear and prosciutto was also quite yummy. We had a very fun night there, staff is always friendly and the ambience is great. It's always a go to spot.

We tried out the Japanese BBQ GYU-KAKU on Jasper Ave a few days ago. It's a fun experience for sure as you get to cook the meat yourself but I found the spot and service a bit lifeless and lacking. I wasn't left with that OMG I want to go back feeling at all and although there were some very tasty meats and sauces I just didn't feel it. I'd give it a 6/10 as the food was good although the sirloin and scallops both lacked flavor. They also didnt have the wine or the tequila that we would have ordered off their menu so that was another boo moment, we drank water. We decided to have dessert elsewhere and with that you can tell we were just not into it. Maybe you'll have more luck, we tried the "chef's favorite" and added the scallops. Just OK 🤷🏼‍♀️
