Three words:
Sweet Potato Fries. That's all you need to order here. Sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and fried to a perfect crispiness.

My family ordered the Truffle Burger, the Manly Burger, and the Manly Burger Poutin Style (which is over french fries that are covered in gravy instead of a bun - death by carbs I think is its nickname).  I don't eat red meat, and I noticed that they had other non-red meat options, but I just opted for the sweet potato fries and was not disappointed.

We also ordered an ice cream sandwich with snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies that wrapped salted chocolate ice cream. I thought it was a bit pricey at $7, but the ice cream was delicious.

Umami Burger is a chain restaurant so Google your nearest location.

Located in a quaint and beautifully decorated alley that transports you to a European city, Gelato Paradiso takes you to dessert paradise, just as its name implies. Reasonably priced, delicious gelato. Three different flavors can be combined in one small waffle cone. Generous portions abound!

This is what I have dreamed of for a restaurant. Attention to detail, detail, detail!!! From the moment I arrived, I could tell that Mama D's employees had been trained well. If guests were asked to wait, the hosts all thanked them profusely for waiting. Lemonade, cold water, and fresh bread were all offered to guests as they awaited their table. The wait staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The meal was OUTSTANDING. The pink sauce for my pasta was amazing, the specials were tasty, and the portions were generous. Complimentary chocolate chip cookies were even given at the end of the meal. The whole experience was stellar! I HAD TO find the manager before we left to let him know that I would be bragging about his restaurant, that I noticed all the details, and that I appreciated the effort he put in to creating this unforgettable dining experience for us. He thanked me and then asked me to wait so that he could run to the back to get a business card for me to treat me to a complimentary appetizer during my next visit. All I have to say, is that I'll see you soon, Mama D's!

A dear friend invited us to this dinner for a special evening out on the town in Orange County, and it will be a dining experience that I will talk about for the rest of my life. Asian fusion served tapas style for all to share, or you may choose to consume each plate individually. The hostess explained to us that the venue is used for fashion shows as well, so pads are carefully arranged around the catwalks to create seating for dining tables for the restaurant.  The décor of the restaurant is stunning, with colors of red and black, and innovative architecture. The food is styled equally as exotic, and is delicious.  The most memorable dish for me was the kimchi fried rice. Anqi Bistro is not just a meal; it is a stellar experience!
