Vesta pizza

This was one of the Best lunches I ever had in Jersey!!!

I started off with a flight of their local beers. What I could remember, I had a local Pumpkin, a Pilsner, Don't remember or care for the Stout and the Chimay

Of the 4 I loved the pumpkin and the Chimay 

Obviously I liked the Pumpkin a bit more!!!

 

Now for the food!!!

Here we have the Thursday special, and the main reason I walked into the place!! ( I held off eating lunch in the office to just get down here for this) I was not disappointed!! 

Ciabatta of the Day $13

Thursday

Blackened Flounder- blackened flounder, arugula, cherry tomato, chipotle mayo

The Description alone should explain how awesome this was!!! The bread was fresh, the fish was seasoned well and the Fried OMG the fries were soo freaking awesome... I had to save half and share with My hubby, and also So I could savor another bite later LOL

They are known for their Pizza... So I got the Margarita

Van Diemen Experience

OH how i love visiting friends in the city on my off days, And today was the best visit yet. Being a  Pescatarian has it's down sides when it comes to eating out but when you find new items on the menu, you remember what it means to be a foodie!!1

They added Fish Tacos on the menu and boy oh boy were these bad boys good!!!!!. At $14 these bad boys packed a whopping flavor punch all in my taste buds! The tangy sauce, the great spice on the actual fish right down to the mango salsa on top! Now this wasn't my only order... I sure did order another one to goo... Couldn't keep this great experience to myself, I had to share it with my Boo of course!!!

Their Truffle fries are to die for! I don;t ever have to ask what else I need/ want with anything I order, the Truffle fries are mandatory at all cost. They have a really good truffle oil in that kitchen, so good I went looking for it and found a decent one to make these amaze-ball fries at home my damn self!!!

WELL Well WELL I highly suggest going here, and tipping the bartenders really well You hear!!! Never disappointing when I travel here! Till then

NIOS happy hour

Wow What a great place to find and spot good food...and guess what! Complimentary WINE for an hour.... I'd say it's a gold Mine!

Here we have Truffle fries, they were okay...the aoli on the side was good, could have used a little bit more truffle though.

Buffalo Mozzarella

12

Sun dried tomatoes, basil, evoo

We really liked the pizza. Talk about a thin crust. We wish we ordered two of these because it was done within seconds.  This would have been a better option to double up on and not waste time on the next dish....

Thai Fried Shrimp

14

Sweet chili lime sauce

The Shrimp was cool... We didn't think that the price fit the dish.... It was well over priced and wasn't that much to share. Not sure if I I would get this again...

And the Complimentary Wine guys!!! Yes free wine from 5 pm-6 pm. They do a rotation of a red and a white during the week. Great way to Sample a new wine a week I'd say. Inside of a snazzy hotel, I bet the rooms are as amazing as the lobby is. I would Love to go back and just watch the fire place and a have a few wines along with it.

I would recommend this place and have people try their dishes. i', not sure how the Lunch is set up... I might go in on a pay day to see what my Dollar can get me.... Till next time... Stay snazzy!

Cove Lounge (Happy Hour Time!)

What an amazing Happy hour with the booski!!! 

Lets jump right in...

LOBSTER ROLL

$18

Fresh Lobster served on a warm Garlic Bun with Truffle Fries

The Lobster roll was really really good. I really enjoyed the truffles fries the most though. Something about their seasoned fries just feels comforting and the hint of truffle oil in the background just make it go over the top. The lobster roll had enough veggies in it. Nice light mayo flavor, full lobster taste. The bread was a potato bread and it did not over power the whole dish. I would get this again. (oh we shared this dish...You'll see why)

The happy hour wine are all the house wines you find on sale at your local wine shop. That didn't bother me, I was also happy that the bartender had us finish the bottle at no extra cost for the happy hour!!! LUSH.COM Yes I AM

SPICED FRIES

$7

Crispy home fries seasoned with Cove Special Spice Blend

The spiced fries are heavenly, so heavenly we ordered two of them one for me one for him. Something in the spice in unforgettable, it's also fried well, every fry is edible, nothing goes to waste in that basket...that's all I have to say. 

This is the red wine I got. The rest of the bottle was emptied out by me and I was extremely happy about that!!

CRAB RANGOONS

$12

with Honey Sesame Sauce and Spicy Szechuan Sauce

These Crab Rangoons are ridiculous, another dish that is ordered in twos. On the Happy hour menu they are half priced, which makes it easier to buy more. The filling is pure crab meat and cream cheese. The wontons are fried correctly and they are not greasy at all, that's a major plus. The sauce on top gives off the perfect balance of sweet to the dish. Your mouth will go through a sweet, fried, savory roller coaster in a matter of 3 seconds, and you will want that over and over again. 

This was a shocker drink ( compliments from the bartender) who understood from my first visit that I love whiskey. He made a old fashion with egg white. Boy was this drink STRONG and good at the same time. Now don't get me wrong... I still  feel a way about the egg whites, but I made my boo drink most of it >.< hahahahaha. Other then that, this would have to be a winterish drink if anything. 

                        LOBSTER MAC N' CHEESE

                             Creamy mac n' cheese layered with tender fresh Lobster

The lobster mac and cheese was super different from what I've been used to. The bechmel sauce was super flavorful and smooth. The lobster is cut up a little to small for me, but the lobster roll made up for all of that. I would def recommend this dish for sharing or even for your self!!

This is an awesome low key place. Great vibe, awesome staff, and great food to accommodate. If your in the Harlem area I would def check them out. 

Until next time!!

Zin burger

Lunch with an old friend doesn't get any better than this!! 

Zin Burger is a new burger place that hit Long island. Never heard of it till I saw someone check into it on Four Square. So I had to try it

Here the waitress insisted that we try the truffle fries. We weren't sure if that was too much food or not with the other things we ordered. We ordered it any way and it was pretty food. I really liked the truffle aioli that accompanied the tries. I was in heaven!

Double Truffle Fries – $6 

Truffle Aioli, Parmesan Cheese & Truffle Oil

What I really liked about this place was that they can do half burger/ salad if both parties at the table want to share their meal. Below we have half of a Kobe beef burger with out mushrooms, and a salad with chicken. Below is exactly what we had. 

The Napa – $6/$9 

Organic Greens, Dried Fruit, Marcona Almonds, 

Goat Cheese & Goat Cheese Vinaigrette

 Kobe Burger* – $15 

American Style Kobe Beef, Cheddar Cheese, 

Wild Mushrooms & Mayo

I inhaled my plate faster than my friend could. I was a bit hungry still but gluttony at a burger place is not flattering at all. 

I took a picture of this just to remind me that  need to go here on a Wednesday. 

We also had wine,  the d’Arenberg “Stump Jump” – G.S.M. Blend - which was extremely nice and smooth. I would definitely get a bottle of that on a Wednesday!!!

I really enjoyed my experience here, I would totally recommend this place to a burger, beer, wine, salad lover of all kind. This is a cool chill place to go after shopping, or just because!!

I hope you find one near you or make the trip out here for a good ole burger! Till next time!!

Catch NYC

Catch NYC

Great food Horrible service...

A few of my friends and family went out to celebrate a friends birthday. We were super excited to try this seafood spot.

Here we have spicy shrimp that was out of this world. We fought for the last piece. I wasn't victorious though lol.

 

These were the scallops that had some type of pesto on them. OMG were they good. I only had one and now I regret it. Oh well.

 

These lobster rolls were amazing. So fresh and decadent that we had another order at the last minuet. I

I'm salavating over this picture right now

Here was a mushroom pasta  that was really good, thank god we decided to order and share all food!

 

Here was the lobster pasta. it was really good... so good I snuck a fork or two in before taking the picture... luckily my friends stopped me from devouring it whole!

 

Truffle fries!!! need I say more?

 

I'd go here for the food... and not for the service... other then than it's a 50/50 in my book

Go at your hearts content!
