Thanks for the tip - got ribs, etc. from there and it was really good. Then had lunch at Dreamland in Montgomery. Ribs again. Divine.

That's correct - and I miss it. Union Jack is fine if you want a pub-like experience (it was PACKED during World Cup). -
Longshot but if anyone knows, you all do. Will be flying into Birmingham Sunday night and am staying in Hoover for early morning meetings in Montgomery on Monday morning. Dining solo. If there are any viable options in or near Hoover (I'll have a car but don't want to venture too far), I'm game. Thanks.

As much as I'd love, LOVE to go, we have a soccer game at 12:30 back in Arlington so we'll have to pass. Please put me as #1 on the list for the next time and thanks so much for doing this! Nancy

I'd love to attend, and bring my son - how long is the tour?? Thanks for doing this again! Nancy

I'm at a table here now - but I had to park around the corner on the street. The coffee is really good, I'm the only one here and the wifi signal is strong.

What about street parking in the neighborhood? I don't think it's all restricted around there. But it will be interesting once The Italian Store opens. I'm so steamed about the parking at Lee-Harrison. Today, after the Peter Chang lunch (organized here), I had to climb into my car from the passenger side IN A SKIRT. The person who parked on the driver side parked so close to me that I couldn't get in my car. I will not go there on a weekend, ever. I hate that parking lot . . . And I will try the blueberry - thanks. But that's a pricey cup of joe.

Toward the back there's a family style table. It's kind of dark in there so I imagine it's hard to see much if you just look in but don't go in.

I was in last weekend (got a cheddar chive scone for later - not bad) and there is space to sit and, yes, they have wifi (I asked). The bathroom is really nice. Good addition to the neighborhood.

I just booked an outing with my son (rock wall climbing place) based on the fact that it's in Laurel and that I get to go to Pasta Plus for an early dinner. I really hope it's still as good as it was about 3 months ago . . .

I should have known better than to order from Thai Square on a Friday night - I aimed for non-spicy and got flavorless glop. The dumplings tasted . . .old. The tom kha kai soup was the only decent item. Even my 5 year old rejected the pad thai. Won't risk it again.

I used to travel to Harrisburg regularly for my old job and always stopped here on the way back. Love the pies - I get the frozen ones. Very reasonably priced. Their apple dumplings are good too. And, of course, the fruit. I don't miss that job but I do miss this place.

At my desk craving sushi and had no idea where to go for take out. Google search and this place came up. Website offered lunch special - $9.95 for three rolls. I'm game so I head over - crazy strip of haphazard stores facing Shady Grove Road on one side, this place around the corner facing Gaither Road. Ordered yellowtail roll, Philadelphia Roll and Spicy White Tuna roll. Got some eel nigiri too. I'm no sushi expert but the fish was fresh, rolls presented nicely and held together well, and the eel nigiri provided generous portions. I thought the yellowtail roll was kind of small so I'll stick to nigiri yellowtail next time. Staff was friendly and restaurant area had a few lunch patrons on a rainy day. I'll go again for sure.

Such a good time with such good food - I may have secured another regular customer when I gave the lamb shank leftovers to my babysitter, who text the next night raving about the food and wanting to know where it came from. Excellent company too - nice to meet you lovehockey and belated happy birthday! Nancy
-
I'm a little confused too - my friend and I will be there at 6, because I'm thinking that's when we are supposed to be there, even though I had previously said we'd be there at 7 on the Facebook event page.
-
Here now, parents with kids along, not feeling like we want to cook tonight. Please recommend somewhere close by for us to go. Thanks.
-
Wow, I just ate there with friends less than two weeks ago and we had a lovely meal. Sorry to hear this!
-
I have the Timolino 16-Ounce Icon Vacuum Tumbler - got on Amazon in 2011 after Cook's Illustrated rated it the best to keep liquids hot. And it really does, with no funky taste. Have to hand wash but I'm okay with that.

I meant to post this before but life . . . I celebrated a significant birthday here almost 2 weeks ago. While I did not organize the event, my dear friend did and said the management was amazing - over the top helpful. There were about 40 or so people around the bar tables that were reserved for us. No complaints, no hassles. As for the food, I never sat down to eat a meal but things were passed to me during the night - the parmesan tater tots, some excellent mussels and really good bread (my cousin was ensuring that I wouldn't be too sloshed - hence, the bread. It worked). I love the setting and the proximity to my house - I plan to visit on a regular night soon.

Ate at the Mosaic District location last week - I like that the front windows open so you can sit at the bar-like seating and be partially outside on a nice day. Don't remember which salad I had but it was delicious, fresh and free - it was my birthday, I mentioned that while the preparers were making my salad and they said "Lunch is on us!" Making me a customer for life.
-
Is this place still open? Meeting an old colleague for lunch in a week or so, and he suggested Elephant & Castle - yuck. But their website is a shell and I'd like to confirm it's still operational before I suggest it.

And that bartender may have been my law school classmate/friend Chris who worked there to make coin for tuition. Spent many an evening there as well, free shots included.

I'm taking her out in DC, she's taking me out in Baltimore (and she'll pick that one). I originally thought Fiola but now there are so many options and I'm so out of the loop (thanks, kid). I trust DRers to steer me in the right direction. I loved my one meal at Fiola but I know there are so many good options now. I'd prefer somewhere that takes reservations. It's for a Friday night at the end of the month. Thanks, Nancy
