Favorite Restaurants for 2012

Modesto continues to be on the top 10 list. The same goes for Tivoli Pizza, Onesto's and Pueblo Solis.  Milagro Mexican is also still serving stellar food and the drinks are even better.

We do like Matthew's Kitchen. The fish and chips are my favorite.

A new Mexican place is open where LaSala used to be and it is promising. I still think Lily's is a great place.

I enjoyed a recent visit to the Home Wine Kitchen on Manchester in Maplewood. The burger was awesome and the wine was good, but a little pricey at $8 per glass.

Mojito Tapas was fabulous. The food was good, nice variety and the the wine list was impressive and affordable.

Eleven Eleven has always been a favorite and I want to go there on Thursday when they have "wild game" on the menu.

Vin De Set's fish market night was a big hit. I tried Langostinos from Scotland and they were like mini-lobsters.

And finally, this local gem is on my list. Check out my friend Warren's recent review

We went to Salt for my birthday and I loved it. Definitely lots of other menu items to try in the future.

A friend gave him a gift certificate for Ivory Coast Bistro and we liked it plus the whole vibe of this area in the Patch neighborhood that is up and coming.

Still loving the Farmhaus on Ivanhoe.

Another fantastic place that even has gluten free entrees and salad is the Big Sky Cafe in Webster.

We also truly loved a very authentic feeling Italian experience at Bar Italia in the CWE.

Holiday shopping and Lunch at McCormick and Schmitz-West County Shopping. We had really good Steelhead trout.

Still loving Tokyo Sushi on S. Lindbergh.

We had a wonderful pre-Christmas dinner with two of our dearest friends at a wonderful restaurant on the Hill-Lorenzo's Trattoria. It is located at 1933 Edwards.
