Cosi - Arlington, Va

Today, I went to Cosi for lunch.  First I will have to say, it took a very long time to get my food.  There were a bunch of people waiting in front of me.  I got the shrimp remoulade sandwich.  The sandwich was decent.  It had a little bit of spicy to it.  They shrimp was good.  I really like the bread at Cosi.  Overall it was a little better than average lunch.  I might come back.

Harry's Tap Room - Arlington, Va

I ventured out of Rosslyn to Clarendon to eat lunch at Harry's Tap Room.  This was my first time there.  It's kind a fancy place to have a business lunch.  I ordered the Thai steamed mussels.  This dish was actually very good.  It had a curry flavor, but very mild coconut flavor.  The mussels were very plump and flavorful.  I had two servings of bread.  I'm not sure why, but they were both different.  I first loaf of bread was a thin oily kind of bread.  The second loaf was a thicker heavier bread which went well with the mussel sauce.  Overall, this is a nice restaurant, which I will go back to in the future.

Tenderjacks - Leesburg, VA

I went here for dinner with the kids. I had a crispy chicken sandwich with some steamed vegetables. The sandwich was pretty good. Overall the food was decent, but it was a bit pricey for what you get. Five dollars for a grilled cheese with fries and a drink is a little much.

Rainforest Cafe - Orlando, FL

We actually ate here a couple of times while in Orlando. The food is better than average, however it is over priced. Unfortunately the kids really like it and they actually eat the food here. So after an uninteresting seafood meal the first time, I decided to just get the appetizer sampler. The best part about this meal was the eggrolls. The calamari wasn't that interesting and the chips and dip were average. Next time I will just get the eggrolls.

It's an tourist destination which kids enjoy.

Kentmorr Restaurant - Stevensville, MD

We ate at this restaurant after spending an hour or so at Sandy Point Park. Although the park was quite crowded, there really wasn't too much there for us. But we found a nice restaurant, out in the middle of nowhere. It is located about 15 minutes outside of Annapolis. What we found interesting driving there was there is a street with houses which have garages for small aircraft and a runway in the back. This restaurant is located right next to a marina, so parking was an issue. The inside of the restaurant was pretty basic, since it is a crabhouse. I started with the Maryland crab soup. This soup was very good. There was a lot of crab meat and it was a little spicy. Next I had a crabcake sandwich. I think this was the best crabcake I have ever had. There was no filler, all lump crabmeat. It was cooked too perfection. Overall this was a very nice restaurant with excellent Maryland style seafood.

Bonefish Grill - Ashburn, Va

Bonefish has a special going on Dinner for two for $38, which included an appetizer, salad and main entree. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. Of course I forgot to make reservations. We were seated after 30 minutes. The appetizer was a selection of either the Bang Bang Shrimp or Calamari. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp. It was delicious. The shrimp was lightly breaded and deep fried. It has a sweet/sour/spicy sauce on top. There was a lot of shrimp for an appetizer. Next we each got a salad. I had the house salad. It was a pretty decent house salad. I was starting to get full after the salad. For the entree I had the grilled shrimp and scallops with a mango salsa and vegetables. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The mango salsa added a little sweetness. The vegetables were asparagus. Overall this was an excellent meal. I've eaten at Bonefish before and I thought it was good, but the special menu made it even better.

Red Rock Canyon Grill - Centreville, Va

This is one of my favorite restaurants. We order the crab dip as an appetizer and it was very good as usual. There were big chunks of crabmeat served with bread. I ordered the Ahi Tuna salad. When it first came out, it looked a little cheesy. Only a few slices of tuna, on a bed of lettuce. But it was very tasty. It has slices of marinated ginger on the side. The croutons and pine nuts were sweet. The salad was more than enough for one serving. It also included a slice of corn bread. Another great meal at Red Rock Canyon Grill.
