At The Chocolate Moose in Tamarack having a dark roast with a touch of sugar free chocolate and Diane had a "Mothman" latte. Wow, really flavorful coffee with no bitter aftertaste. Some of the best dark roast I've had. Diane was super impressed with the latte as well. Next time by we'll have to check out the original store in town.

6.25.26 dinner

After years of hearing about this place, we finally got the opportunity.
Limited dinner menu.
We hade the Joe T. fajita nachos to start. They were plentiful and good. They come with peppers and onions.
We also split the family style dinner. 2 enchiladas, 2 tacos, 2 cheese nachos (really a cheese tostada), a generous portion of guacamole, rice and beans.
The food is above average good and plentiful.
The patio areas are the big atmosphere draw and almost no one eats inside.
Highly recommended two-thumbs up 👍 👌

Abingdon VA

3.14.26 late lunch

Upon the recommendation of a fried who lives local and met us to visit, we chose pizza.
We love brick oven (and wood-fired is even better) and we were not disappointed.
Diane had a "select your own" with beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions.
Our friend had pepperoni and I had a side salad (diet).
I did enjoy one slice of Diane's and it was very good. Fresh ingredients and the dough had very good flavor. While not trying the pepperoni, I assume it was good since she recommended it.
The salad was not much but fresh and crispy.
Overall it was good.

Port Lavaca TX

3.19.26 dinner

Quaint spot on the bayou in Port Lavaca.
Nice patio to sit and enjoy what was a pleasant evening.
Diane had the red snapper with loaded potato salad and hushpuppies.
The fish was a nice portion, cooked perfect and was flaky and juicy. The hushpuppies were good and she was pleased that there were no jalapeños. The "loaded" potato salad was not. No scallions, bacon or cheese. Upon mentioning this to the server she assured us that it was mixed in, but it was not. After further questioning we learned that they don't don't make it in house and when they checked, the batch they had was very lacking in everything but just the potato salad.
Word to servers. While our server was nice and attentive, when a customer has an issue, take it seriously from the beginning and don't assume they are not correct.
It was sad to hear something like this is not made in house and causes one to wonder how much they serve that is freshly made.
I had the bone in wings and they were cooked perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Overall we enjoyed our experience and can recommend it.

Port Lavaca TX.

3.20.26 brunch

Upon the suggestion from a lady at the local Enterprise, we came for a late breakfast early lunch.
Diane had an omelet swapping out ground beef for the listed meat options. It came with potatoes and toast. The omelet was flat instead of folded but so what, it was fresh and good. She would have liked the potatoes to have some crispness but the flavor was good.
I had a ground beef taco salad. All the ingredients were crisp and fresh. The ground beef might could use a tad more seasoning but it had a good beef flavor and was not a greasy mess that so many places choose to make theirs. The shell was very good and crisp and the flavor was clean and really enjoyable. I almost didn't try the homemade salsa because they had no Chalula (which is my preference) but I did at the last second and was glad I did. It could be much thicker but the flavor was excellent.
The young ladly who served us was nice and helpful.
Overall, highly recommended two-thumbs up 👍 👌

2.17.26 dinner
Restaurant at the hotel and usually means we go somewhere else but we were tired and the reviews were good.
The reviews were justified by the food we ordered.
I had the southwest Chipotle chicken salade and everything about it was fresh and flavorful.
Diane had the pick four platter with tostadas, tacos, chips and queso and fried avocado. The avocado was crispy on the outside while soft but not mushy and the inside. Just right. The tostadas and tacos were, once again, fresh and flavorful. Friendly service topped off a nice dinner.
Highly recommended two-thumbs up 👍 👌

2.22.26 lunch
Diane had the salmon on Quinoa that had a nice crispy edge but not overdone. Very good flavoring.
I had the queso fundido with chorizo. It's a favorite dish of mine and this one hit the spot.
It also didn't hurt that we sat beside the canal and enjoyed the gondoliers singing Italian songs.
Highly recommended two-thumbs up 👍 👌

2.22.26 dinner
Nice porch seating area and the service was very good. I had the roast beef sandwich with loaded tots.
The beef was plentiful and tender but really needed more seasoning. The au jus seemed to be made from a packet of brown gravy mix, ok but not the best.
Diane had the Chicken Tacos and they were good but the corn tortillas just fell apart making them fork food.
Overall, we might would give it another try but there is so much realy good food in Vegas that somewhat ordinary doesn't stay on your menu of choices.

2.23.26 dinner
New York New York Hotel, Las Vegas

We don't usually get the thick crust but these Sicilian style slices caught our eye and so we went for it. The edges were nice and crispy and the flavors were very good. We would certainly try them again.
Recommended two-thumbs up 👍 👌
