Cafe Du Jour

Dinner at Cafe Du Jour on August 14.

I picked Cafe du Jour for girls night out. I heard about good reviews about the restaurant. Yes, it was good, and nice atmosphere. This restaurant does BYOB and corkage fee is $2/person. And Cash only.

Nice Patio

Crepe filled with ricotta cheese - I was not sure about this first. It seemed like too much cheese. But I was wrong. Def, I will order this again.

Mushroom Soup

NY Strip Steak - The sides, grilled zucchini and potatoes were tasty. But the steak..... I am sad that I have to admit but it was awful. I asked for it medium rare. It came as medium well. So I asked a server to make another one. A few minutes later, the server asked me to check the steak how it looked like inside (because our table was outside). I was not sure what he was trying, but I followed him and checked steak under the room lights. Of course, it was still medium well. So I told him, I want my steak medium rare. He accepted my offer (of course) and brought the steak. This time, it was medium rare. I was happy with it. However.... it's tough and chewy. Ok, no more steak at Cafe du Jour. But don't get me wrong. Appetizers were good and my friend enjoyed her meal. I will come back.

Kassab's Restaurant

Lunch at Kassab's on Feb. 17. As usual, Salad after Yoga. Not Bigham Tavern today, I went to Kassab's. I love tabbouli here. I feel like it works good for detox.  

BTW, I got a parking ticket while I had lunch. How stupid! I missed no-parking sign. I was pissed at myself, but think positive. I was lucky that my car didn't get towed. Anyway, be extra careful when you park at south side.

 

Tabbouli : Parsley, Tomato, Cucumber and Tabbouli

Falafel Sandwich : Falafel, Lettuce and Tomato - I usually order this sandwich or Portobella Mushroom sandwich. I can be a vegetarian at Kassab's.
