Gaslamp Strip Club- San Diego, CA

This steakhouse was beautiful inside! The outdoor seating was fantastic for enjoying a meal under the stars in the Gaslamp Quarter. However, the food was just so-so. The idea of grilling your own food is fun until you actually have to stand there and grill. You think to yourself.....I could have done this at home for half the price! The fun fizzled after the first 5minutes. This may be a great first date spot, as it gives you an activity to do together that may help break the ice.

Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion- San Diego, CA

Kim's Review- The 1988 Martini was excellent. It was a mixture of ABSOLUT Ruby Red Vodka, SOHO Lychee Liqueur & PatrĂ³n CitrĂ³nge Liqueur. The location of this restaurant is breathtaking. The patio is the ideal spot to share a romantic dinner in the San Diego area. The ambiance was better than the entree I ordered. I found the steak to be over cooked. That's what I get for ordering steak at a restaurant known for seafood. I recommend going to Roy's for cocktails and relaxing on the patio at night.

Cuban Cigar Factory- San Diego, CA

Kim's Review- The wine selection was top notch. There was a lot to chose from while my husband enjoyed a cigar. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very relaxing atmosphere and walking distance from the convention center and many hotels. There are several restaurants in the area, so you can stop here before or after dinner.

Royal Thai- San Diego, CA

Kim's Review- This place was awesome! Great food at a great price! The service was outstanding. No complaints. The outdoor seating was cozy yet still had privacy from the other patrons. Try the curry.

Belly Shack- Chicago, IL

Kim's Review- The tostones were awesome! I enjoyed everything I tasted. My friends were also impressed at the unique menu selection and great flavors. The brussels sprouts are a MUST TRY. Even if you don't care for veggies, these will change your mind. The interior was casual and inviting. I will be going back soon!


Chez Violette- Chicago, IL

Kim's Review-
Newer restaurant with a lot of potential to be excellent. The service is great and the atmosphere is casual and friendly. Be prepared to spend some extra time during your meal. They are on island time. :) Worth a try if you are in the Chicago area!
