Bistrot Bagatelle: Fancy French.

Bagatelle has been on my ‘really need to dine there’ list for well over a year. Photos of the interior have looked amazing, and it always seems to be a venue that ‘vibes’ (and I really need to make some attempt to define what this concept means to […]

Hey there and thanks for bearing with me while I get my website fully migrated to its new platform! Sorry if a few posts have gone missing, but hopefully they’ll turn up soon (and have not been permanently misplaced). Technology! (*shakes fists like an old […]

Having been impressed by the interior at Molecule (but not too much else, unfortunately), I was ready to give one of the other d3 restaurants a try. While I still had bad luck locating the venue (oh well, a few extra steps for the day […]
