Sushi go round

 Although the concept wasn't need idea we wondered how the sushi on the conveyor belt stayed cold.

 The two selections we had off the conveyor belt were tasty which prompted us to order a full roll of the sushi love. The role itself was very large and require does to couldn't have to eat it with our fork.

The order of beef bulgogi was very good although the steamed vegetables on the side were somewhat disappointing.

Homemade Spring Rolls

 Why serve your guests frozen processed spring rolls?  Freshly prepared spring rolls offer your guests a tasty treat and allows you to be creative with the fillings.  

Serve them with hot out of the fryer with your favorite dipping sauces... or serve then plated (as seen here) cut on the bias and your guests will feel like they are in a fine dining restaurant. 

Poached Pears... Yum

Poached pears in Sweet Red Wine - then topped with fresh Gorgonzola Cheese, Candied Spicy Pecans and drizzled with Balsamic Glace...

A New Twist on a Ol' Favorite

Rather than just baking your cake... cut it out with cookie cutters and layer it in mini dessert or even cocktail glasses.  Layer it with your favorite fillings and garnish it with fresh fruit, cut in half and lightly coated with sugar.

Your guests will lick it clean - guaranteed!!!

Fresh Bruschetta

Fresh Tomatoes, Basil and an incredible vinaigrette is all it takes to make a party classic.  Served with freshly baked, thinly sliced baguette and your guests can't get enough!!

By piling the Bruschetta on a flat plate allows your guests to choose whether they want a lot of vinaigrette or just a little.

 

Rutsy's Downtown Grill & Bar

Enjoyed a great dinner there with friends.  Some of the items on the menu are a little higher priced but there are also some reasonable selections.

Our side salads had a great dressing and had a variety of toppings, not just your standard slice of cucumber and wedge of tomato!  The dressing was flavorful as well.

Can't say enough about the complementary garlic knots... you can almost drink the garlic butter with your spoon!!

The Eggplant Parm - served over spaghetti - was very tasty, eggplant cooked perfectly - breaded and fried golden brown and then baked without becoming soggy!  The dollop of ricotta cheese on top did little to add to the dish, but once sprinkled with parm and a dash of salt & pepper it was pleasant.

The Rasta Pasta sounds better on the menu.  The pesto was pure basil and olive oil, and was impossible to eat.   The server was gracious when informed about the overwhelming pesto and offered to cook something different.  So Lasagna was chosen.  It came to the table bubbling hot and full of delicious meats and cheeses.

The children's menu was a little lacking - the kids fried shrimp basket was nothing but fries and 4 little shrimp... thank goodness our dinner salads were large enough to share and the bread was plentiful or our child would have been hungry.

Allens Stone-Baked Pizzeria,

Although many claim to have NY style pizza... Allen's claim is correct!!  The pizza was DELICIOUS.
The pizza had the right ratio of sauce, cheese and toppings.  There was just a hint of crunch to the dough yet it still was soft and chewy. The toppings were fresh and flavorful.
The employees were friendly & service was beyond reproach. The atmosphere was comfortable and clean.
Their Family Meal deal $19.99 for one large 14" specialty pizza and one large 14" two topping pizza can't be beat.

Smok'n Pig Bbq

The place is new and the exterior decor offers great curb appeal.

The food was good, large portions of both entree and side items.  Most selections come with an unlimited salad bar and dessert.

Salad bar was very fresh but was a limited selection compared to most salad bars.    The Chicken was tender, Brunswick stew was very flavorful, Fried shrimp was golden brown. The Fried okra wasn't the best we've eaten but not terrible.   The selection of BBQ sauces are very tasty, although the Spicy sauce is a little sweeter than we prefer.  The dessert items are more to please kids and those happy to have something "free" than to really satisfy someone after a good meal.

The service was excellent. Our server came several times to ensure we were satisfied. She brought clean salad plates before we were finished with our first ones, and our meal came out very quickly.  We asked for Buffalo sauce on the side of our Fried Shrimp since we were unsure of the level of spice and our server brought SEVERAL sauces for me to try in the event that my original selection was not satisfactory.

Pleasant Pad Thai

Came in for lunch in a weekday.  The lunch menu offered a nice variety to choose from at a reasonable price.

I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai... it came with a choice of soup or salad and the friendly server suggested the soup since then I would also get an egg roll.

Soup was hot and after a splash of soy sauce was very good.  Spring roll was hot and tasty.

Entree came out a little too soon, didn't have time to rake more than a spoonful or two of soup. 

Food was hot, flavorful and just enough spiciness, however the spice over takes the peanut flavor.  The shrimps were slightly over cooked but still edible.

The establishment was empty save a couple at another table and a patron at the sushi bar.  The service was excellent.  The restaurant is clean even if the decor is slightly odd.

Airport Sushi... Who knew... Charlotte

What a taste...yet pricey surprise.  

I ordered the Grand Finale...roll was freshly prepared to order...very tasty.  When I ordered my sushi roll the waitress asked if I wanted soup, salad or edamame... and made it sound like it came with the roll but it did not!  Edameme were served hot and lightly salted.

Slightly  pricey...but its sushi at the airport...and if you don't mind eating sushi with millions of people walking past, its not bad.

Pei Wei, ... should be Pay Way Too Much...

Although this establishment tries to imitate other restaurants it really is only 1 step above the traditional Chinese takeout as far as the quality of food is concerned.

The hot sour soup had very little flavor and nothing but 2  pieces of tofu the size of Chicklet gum.
Crab wonton came with a very tasty chili pepper sauce however the wonton sat in the pool of sauce rather than having a sauce on the side to dip which caused the bottom of the wonton to be soggy it was difficult to dip in the sauce.

Thai dynamite with shrimp over noodles came with very little flavor.  The shrimp was overcooked and the noodles were all stuck together and had an odd taste. It would have been a more pleasant and tastier dining experience to have gone to the Chinese takeout establishment down the street.  Which we may end up going to because we can't  eat our food.

The atmosphere was nice even if the background  music was a little loud.
