  1. I`d like to get everybodys attention to Eola. My first visit was last night (with my wife) and it was awesome. We had the tasting menu which is 6 courses and asked if they can do 2 different menus for us so we sample more of the food and they did. I noticed some of the food on the menu but most of them was created by Chef Daniel Singhofen on the spot. Overall we had a very nice, calm and relaxed dinner. The best course for me was a `sous vide rabbit` and apple sorbet was excellent. The rest of the meal was very good as well. From a tiny kitchen Chef can put out great food. Service was excellent provided by Dan. I believe once they settle in more they will have a very successful restaurant.
  2. I used to race on the streets and highways of Istanbul when I was younger. Since I`ve been living here I now drive like `Ms Daisy` which sucks for me.
  3. He actually is very down to earth person besides his `rock star` like looks. Few years ago when he was the executive chef at Bastide in LA (now closed) I had the chance to dine there and his food was amazing. Everytime I was in I had long chats with him and he is really a nice person.
  4. 5 minute bike ride from 208 Talbot to the water side and there are 7-8 crab restaurants next to each other. I tried one without knowing anything about them and was very satisfied. They use the old bay seasoning very generously.
  5. Crab and Squid Ink Pasta Crispy Soft Shell Crab with 40 Year old Vinegar Sauce
  6. Todd Wiss (former executive chef of Black`s) and his wife Nichole, recently took the ownership and re-opened last week after some decoration was done. Menu used to be a massive one but now it is much smaller with a lot of attention. Everything in the kitchen is done by Todd and Nichole is running the front. Homemade pasta dishes, mussels and pizza are all great and very reasonably priced. They still do delivery. It is a great spot if you are in the neighborhood. Congratulations to both of you!
