b.b.Bistro: Sitting Around The Kitchen Eating Fresh & Healthy Food

Returning To Killarney House: Lunch On The Patio
As we drove up to the Killarney House , we couldn’t help but notice the beautifully landscaped property. There were very healthy huge hanging baskets and colorful flowering crepe myrtles.

Vin 909: An Exceptional Treat In Eastport
On our first visit to Vin 909, the whirl of the ceiling fans maintained a nice breeze on a 100-degree day.

Rustico Restaurant & Wine Bar: Southern Italy On The Eastern Shore
On Father’s Day, Paul wanted to go to the Kent Island Father’s Day Car Show and I was very much in favor!

Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar: Taco Tuesday
Tuesday is my favorite day of the week! Why? Because it’s Taco Tuesday at Paladar Latin Kitchen and Rum Bar in Annapolis Towne Centre!

It should be pointed out that Paul and I are not very familiar with Thai food, but wanted to finally visit a restaurant in the area of West Street that had been redeveloped to restaurants [...]
Sin Fronteras Cafe: Fiesta On Forest Drive
In my opinion, there are a number of great choices for Mexican food in the general Parole area. For instance, we love the burrito bowl at Chipolte, an amazing combination of tastes for the mere cost of $6.37. Chevy’s delicious fish taco platter is highly recommended, and the newcomer, Plazuelas (located across the street from [...]
Saladworks: It Works For Me
Several months ago, a new restaurant opened in the Annapolis Towne Centre at Parole called Saladworks .

Boatyard Bar & Grill: The Eastport Experience
There is something about the character of Boatyard Bar & Grill that is very inviting. It could be the high ceilings and lots of windows that provide a bright and open feeling. Then, it might be the abundance of interesting wall décor that just screams Annapolis ! We like to bring our out-of-town guests for [...]
Mike’s Crab House: Paradise On The South River
On an unseasonably warm day in March, what could be better than enjoying lunch on the deck at Mike’s Crab House ?

‘LeveL’ Keeps It Interesting And Tasty
Let me start by saying I have been to LeveL many times. I will say upfront that I like LeveL because a–it is different and has tasty food and b–because they make the best cocktails. That said, let me proceed with my most recent visit this weekend. I went on a Friday night with a [...]
Plazuelas Is Open In Edgewater
Plazuelas, the latest addition to the Mexican dining scene in the area opened up yesterday and it was worth the wait! I am not sure what the hold up was–the interior did not look like it had that much done to it, so I will assume it was the County firehosing the business with hoops, [...]
The Jury Is Still Out On Miss Shirley’s Cafe
Last weekend, I had the chance to experience Miss Shirley’s Cafe which recently opened at Park Place in Annapolis. The reputation of the breakfast place preceded it and I was looking forward to a great breakfast experience. What I left with was–not so much! The Decor The restaurant is decidedly chic and upscale.
