Restaurant Review: Taco Janes – California

taco-janes-san-anselmoTaco Janes in San Anselmo!

I’ve heard great things about Taco Janes in San Anselmo for years, so I was pleased to join my mom her long time BFFs for dinner. While the menu sports plenty of meat lover Mexican dishes, I was delighted to find several veggie based dishes too. I enjoyed the veggie burrito (with optional wheat tortilla). Easy to request no cheese or sour cream for vegan dish. chips and salsa was rockin’ good! Other ladies really enjoyed the salmon on salad and fish tacos. Looked great! This is a great place for family dinner, date night, gathering of friends. If you have opportunity to meet the restaurant owner Matthew, take the chance to ask him about his photography on the walls – he has an eye for capturing Cuban culture in photography.

Loved to connect with coaching clients during breakfast! Delish orange french toast to start a day of meetings in Silicon Valley and Easy Bay. Perfect place for a business meeting, or casual gathering.

Restaurant Review: Shin Sei – Utah

Looking for lunch spot in historic Ogden, check out this great Japanese joint. Wonderful vegan and meat lover options. Sushi was veggie. Can’t believe it’s not a volcano, spicy salmon. Check out their $2 Tuesday specials too. The mussel shooters were great!

Restaurant Review: David’s Kitchen – Utah

davids-kitchen-slcLunch at the famous David’s Kitchen in Salt Lake City.

When I lived in CA and traveled back to UT, I always made sure to stop in for their amazing Hot & Sour Soup. Excellent Chinese makes a difference… crisp veggies, tasty sauces, great service (like customized pot sticker sauce made to order at your table). Lots of options for vegan and meat eaters. Suitable for business meetings, date nights, family functions.

Restaurant Review: Guru’s Cafe – Utah

gurusWarm weather + outdoor seating + healthy food = great dinner out. Chipotle chicken wrap, Asian salad with tofu, sweet potato fries and spiced hummus with pita and chips. Mmmmm… thank you! Great spot for casual dates, business meetings, and large family parties. Always something for everyone in the crowd.

Restaurant Review: Thailand Restaurant – Utah

thailand-restaurant-draperThailand Restaurant in Draper.

Veggie spicy pad ped, Tom ka, veggie egg rolls? Yes, please! Thai House in Draper was sold and renamed to Thailand Restaurant. Same great location, food is pretty good too. My only gripe was not enough wait staff for busy lunch, otherwise great location for business lunch.
