Thanks to all our followers and readers – we hope you are enjoying a fine holiday season and are looking forward to a wonderful 2020! Frankie took a couple days off to enjoy the holidays with family. We will be back with more restaurants tomorrow!
Frankie made a quick visit to Mac’s Bar-B-Que today! She thought it was so good but everything was gone before she could get a photo. Check out her write up from 3/18/19 in Dallas. It’s still running and very good, don’t miss your chance to go!
La Meunière is an old bistro with walls decorated with cooking implements and old pictures. On a mirror is a daily special to add to an already good sized menu, which includes some combo menus.

Frankie and I wish you a happy holiday season! We hope you will enjoy many wonderful dining experiences in 2019! Thank you for following or just looking in on our blog! (Frankie’s playing with friends for a couple days).
The Crow’s Nest is on the 20th floor of the Captain Cook Hotel, which are the 3 tall buildings in the downtown area. It was built around 1976-77 and offers a wonderful view of the city.

As you got off the elevator the large bar is in front of you, finished with lots of wood and low lighting. To one side is the medium sized dining room. Widely spaced tables are set into deep booths or against the floor to ceiling windows. Tables are draped in beautiful embossed linens with matching napkins. Service was exemplary – friendly and helpful – and very polished. They offered probably the biggest wine list we found in town. Continue reading
Frankie and Helen wish all Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
