TimeOut

It's nice to hear someone trying out my favorite spot, and of course liking it too!
And oh yes, I have. I was there back in September having dinner with my family before heading back to Irvine. My family likes to take advantage of the live music on the patio most Wednesdays in the summer months. The live music and food are a pretty tough competition to beat. Things are going well down here, hope the same to you.

I haven't been up that way, had a road trip planned but couldn't make it. Vineyard House is on my list so I can't wait to try it.  ErikS, is there a recommended item on the menu?

I had quite the week.
Now of course people all have different taste, but I would have to recommend: the tomato bisque soup (not always on menu), and/or vineyard salad, seafood ravioli, and if you're lucky they'll have lavender crème brûlée. Really any of those are a great addition to your meal. It's hard to go wrong so long as you go in for dinner and pick an entree. And of course depending on your timing, summer months on the patio with the live music is very nice.

seafood ravioli sounds tasty! This message has been edited by DRMW on 2015-11-05 22:07:01

But BK tends to put me off - somehow do not like their burgers at all...

But I don't really like either BK or McD's anymore either.

It's an interesting spin on the festivities but not a selling point for me.

But it was funny to try it
I think both BK and McD's don't really have much going for them when there are much better places around.

Hope your having fun.?

I've been placing nicely in poker with the last nine games I have two first, two seconds, a third, a bubble and three zilch's.   My Croatian friend is teaching me how to use English on a two wall bank to sink a ball in front of a corner pocket.  All is well in my part of the world.  How are things with you?  Helen

and just found out there is a Shake Shack in London....ha ha. It's a tiny one in Covent Garden so time will tell if it is the same quality as Vegas baby.
Fingers crossed for your poker competitions

I'll have to try it next time I go to London or Vegas (lol). I just enjoyed an unusual treat using a hamburger bun. I have the fixings for a chili dog but no bun. : ( Since the chili dog doesn't know the difference, I shredded the burger bun, mixed in the chopped up cooked weenie, poured the chili atop, then mixed it all together. It was delightful interesting variation in the use of a hamburger bun.

But of course if you ever find yourself in London I'll pop down from Macc
Interesting take on a hot dog.....did it taste as good as it sounds..? I didn't try many of those over there except at the Baseball...but then again Ming got me all the food there to try..!! All of which was excellent and I did find a Nathan's hot dog in Vegas...I think the baseball one was much better.
I also only had one pizza....I think I need to come back to try more food..!! Ha ha

Boston; where I wore a London Fog trench coat. : ) The chopped up hot dog hamburger bun with chili was good. I should have topped it off with cheese and onions to make it better... Next time maybe. In Jr High, the local grocer made the best hot dog chili sandwiches. The hot dogs were sliced up and cooked into the chili then poured onto the center of fresh, french loaf upon ordering. Hummm... I need to scat to write my grocery list. : )

I had one at the Las Vegas airport yesterday. After a week of overpaying for quality food, it seemed the appropriate way to return to common life, uncommonly.

It definitely did not taste "A-1 infused" -- the mayonnaise was fairly overpowering, strangely -- and was otherwise unremarkable.

Oh, and no "side effects" in the "rejects"...yet.

I'm sure any side effects will be imminent....unless of course yours was made with squid ink..?
But yes like you it was rather unremarkable yet interesting and I had to try one.
