Have you ever gone to a restaurant, looked at the menu and said to yourself “Hmmmm… this looks so good, I’ll have one of everything” ? Well, that is kind of what happened last week when I was invited to a blogger lunch at Hot Tin Roof, at the Ocean […]

When the new owners took over the dated Square One earlier this year, I was not the only one thrilled that the place would get a much needed makeover. I hadn’t gotten around to trying the new incarnation until last night.
You know that this weekend is going to necessitate some recovery time when it starts on Thursday. Well, this past weekend kicked off Wednesday night with drinks at our friends’ house (two bottles of prosecco and some limoncello) followed by dinner (and another three bottles of wine), followed by the […]
After a couple of truly abysmal experiences at the point 5 tapas bar, upstairs at nine one five, I was uninspired to try the downstairs restaurant. However, they have been advertising 50% off wines all summer, and I am a sucker for a good deal. I will clarify: it may […]
