Sage Restaurant, River Cree Casino, Enoch, AB - pricey, hit and miss dinner

Rating Service 6/10, Food 7/10
After one of our fellow foodies ate here a while ago and things went well for them - one raved about the passionfruit dessert, we chanced it and booked a special occasion dinner with a large group at Sage. Sadly, things were a bit hit and miss at the restaurant both in terms of service and food (on on that in a bit), but since we had an amazing spa filled afternoon, with plenty of pampering, getting acquainted with our girly girl, lots of great friends, lots of laughter made it a special girls night out.

Gaku Sushi Izakaya, Oahu Hawaii Part 1 of 3- Best Traditional Japanese sushi in Honolulu

Posted by

Rating 9.5/10
After our last tasty visit a few years back, as we were in the area, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to eat at Gaku! After making hasty reservations, (and luckily getting one!) we parked in their free parking just adjacent to their restaurant and was greeted by a chorus of welcome's in Japanese by all the staff. Our luck continued, and we were seated at the cozy dark wood sushi bar with Chef Nobu, Chef Hideki off to our left and who we presumed to be the master chef off to our right. After ordering some green tea, we asked our talented Chef Nobu for an omakase meal - one where he creates on the spot, pairing up menu items that he feels best go together. After asking for our preferences, its amazing food time!!! We had so much food, we had to split up the posts into three parts!

Raing Service 8/10, Food 7.75/10
Its been ages since I've been to the Keg mainly because of a bad experience involving a super charred and overcooked steak a while back at the Whtye Ave location, but we figured we'd give it a whirl again - this time we went to the South Commons location.  We were greeted with dark wood tables and chairs, a bustling dim dining room, cheerful lit fireplaces and friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Rating Food 8.5/10, Service 8.5/10
With a craving and fond memories of the delicious grilled cheese we had last time at Corso 32, and drooling at the pics TastingTraveller took of the truffled ravioli, it was a no brainer we had to head back to Corso 32. Just to be through of course! :)

After spotting the bright neon pink massage parlour sign just above Corso 32's venue (hey, its a good landmark!) and a Transcend franchise joint right beside it, we went into the restuarant with the air already redolent with the scent of buuter, cheese and tomatoes... Yum!
