We met some friends this weekend in Newport at Thames Street Kitchen for dinner. Cheri and I have never been here before, and one of the other couples had not either. New restaurants can be fun, or not, but at least the company would be good so we would enjoy ourselves one way or another.

With Alex firmly ensconced in his graduate program in Cooperstown, NY, we find ourselves passing through Albany, NY quite frequently, and usually around lunch time. This past trip we stopped at Provence, which is located in the Stuyvesant Plaza, right on Rt 20, or Western Avenue locally. As you might expect this is a French Continue reading Lunch in Albany, NY at Provence Restaurant https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-cedrics-tavern-at-the-biltmore-estate/ 
Here’s the last of our restaurant reviews from last month’s trip to The Biltmore Estate, in Asheville, NC. You can read about the winery at Biltmore here, and the overall trip review here. All of the restaurants are on the estate proper, so they are an integral part of the trip and a big factor Continue reading Dining Review of Cedric’s Tavern at the Biltmore Estate https://www.redwineplease.com/dinner-in-the-dining-room-at-the-inn-on-biltmore-estate/ 
On our night at the Biltmore Estate Cheri and I decided to have dinner in the Dining Room, the restaurant on the lower level of the inn. It looked very nice, and the menu was pretty attractive as well. They suggest gentlemen wear jackets to dinner, so we expected a more formal approach to the Continue reading Dinner in The Dining Room at the Inn on Biltmore Estate https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-lotus-bar-and-eatery-gastonia-nc/ 
It was a relatively late flight to Charlotte on the recent trip to the Biltmore Estate, so we stopped in Gastonia for a late dinner. The restaurant was Lotus Bar and Eatery, kind of an Asian fusion place in a plaza. The menu looked good online, and it was close to our first hotel. Turned Continue reading Dining Review of Lotus Bar and Eatery, Gastonia NC https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-bistro-at-the-biltmore-winery/ 
We had lunch at The Bistro, just across from the entrance to the Biltmore Winery during our recent trip. It’s one of the three restaurants we sampled on our brief stay. It may be our favorite. The decor is comfortable yet elegant. The menu for both lunch and dinner is very good, although we only Continue reading Dining Review of The Bistro at the Biltmore Winery https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-bonefish-grill-cranston-ri/ 
Update May 2014: while the review below is very good, our second trip to the BoneFish Grill was anything but. This time the food was not ready on time, as they had burned Cheri’s. They were firing another, and we asked them to bring the other two dishes and NOT leave them under the heat Continue reading Dining Review of Bonefish Grill – Cranston RI https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-todd-englishs-bluezoo-at-walt-disney-world/ 
This is the last, and somewhat overdue, review of the restaurants we visited during our recently past Christmas holiday. Todd English’s bluezoo is located at the Dolphin Resort on the EPCOT lagoon. This area is probably our favorite place to stay at Disney World, as you have direct access to two parks from this spot Continue reading Dining Review of Todd English’s bluezoo at Walt Disney World https://www.redwineplease.com/italian-wines-and-food-at-tutto-gusto-wine-bar-in-epcot-center/ 
It was Christmas Day, the parks were really crowded and we felt the need for a little refreshment and relaxation. Lunch at the Coral Reef had been good, but after three hours of crowds we felt the need to sit. On a whim we strolled back to the Italy Pavillion and poked our heads into Continue reading Italian Wines and Food at Tutto Gusto Wine Bar in EPCOT Center https://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-coral-reef-in-epcot-center/ 
Here’s another restaurant review from our recent family trip to Central Florida, this time the Coral Reef located at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center. While not directly connected, the restaurant is in the same building as the Living Seas exhibit, and you need to walk around the right side of the building as you approach Continue reading Dining Review of the Coral Reef in EPCOT Center |
