Wine Lab tasting flight

Wine Lab at The Camp

April 5 by Priscilla 10 Comments

As if THE CAMP couldn’t get any cooler, the recent opening of  the Wine Lab seems to say “you complete me” 🙂 The casual, hipster, eco-chic vibe of THE CAMP is a favorite of mine –  and many others who seek respite from SoCal’s ubiquitous strip malls and gargantuan shopping districts – and the perfect place […]

Mi Casa; a Family Favorite

November 4 by Priscilla 11 Comments

But one thing is for sure, not many have been around for 40 years, seen three generations of family ownership, and […]

Lobster Rolls

The Capital Grille

May 26 by Priscilla 11 Comments

This week’s obsession…. It’s Thursday! The official beginning of the weekend here in SoCal and possibly everywhere, but I can’t vouch for that 🙂 I could officially use a happy hour about now – how about you? Now if only Capital Grille, Beverly Hills was a little closer so I could indulge in a luscious […]

Cuisine and Couture

September 21 by Priscilla 9 Comments

Being the only restaurant in the U.S. with a fashion runway, AnQi by Crustacean evokes glamour and sophistication the instant you enter the Asian-inspired eco modern space. As the Orange County glitterati streamed in for the first-ever Bloomingdale’s fashion show, a palpable excitement fills the air. Once the throbbing techno beat begins, eyes are transfixed […]

Hosted by the ebullient Frank Groff, bloggers were greeted with chilled, lip-smacking-good blended Chambord Margaritas. We had a chance to mingle and chat with bloggers from all around Orange County while the kitchen, headed by Chef Danny Stevens, kept rolling out […]

AnQi

March 12 by Priscilla Leave a Comment

Another restaurant I visited during Orange County Restaurant Week was AnQi, at Bloomingdales in South Coast Plaza, where I met Tanya of Design Action Studios for lunch.  Considering it was only 11:30 a.m., we refrained from ordering the Pink Lotus martini  but savored every bit of the three course lunch. The first course was a Roasted […]
