Absolutely DYING to try Venissimo Cheese! Even though they’ve opened a new one closer to me – Del Mar – I bet they’ll have some great bites. 🙂

Yummy giveaway! I was just telling Hubby the other day that I wanted to go to this, as we’ve never gone before. I’ve always wanted to try Ra Sushi.
I’m really interested in trying the Royal Indian restaurant. I love a good curry.

Scrolling through the list of participating restaurants, the one that stuck out for me the most was Urban Bar & Grill. Definitely on my list of places to try out!
I want to try ocean room!
I love taste of downtown! We have gone a couple of times in the past. I wonder what kamikaze 7 sushi joint will serve… Are you going this year?
It’s a tie between Tender Greens and Venissimo Cheese! My fingers are crossed.
