Daily Ramblings: Freshen Up Our Palates

SC and I have been going out to eat at the same old places and we're starting to get in a rut. So, in an effort to keep our palates fresh, I've made a list of new restaurants I want us to try before the end of the summer.

Here is the list:

Coda - a more upscale joint in the former spot of the divey Tim's Tavern
Franklin Cafe - SC's got a gift certifcate
Oishii - supposedly the best sushi ever
Toro - Chef Ken Oringer's new tapas place
Union Bar and Grille - just haven't gotten ourselves over here
Wagamama - the popular UK noodle shop has crossed the Atlantic

Last night we kicked off our mission and crossed one restaurant off the list - Coda.

We had a great dinner here with FL. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the ambiance was good. And to top it off, the bill was quite reasonable - $96 for all three of us (we each had two courses and a drink), including tip.

My Caeser salad and 10oz bleu cheese burger were great. I had some of SC's mussels and mac and cheese and they were also quite good. I'd definitely go back.

Guess we can strike one off the list now!
