The Blacksmith Restaurant has put their beer list online. I note this because since their rennovation, they are the best beer bar in town, with selections no one else has. (Of course, if I’m wrong, I’d be happy to check out any other beer bars that people care to point … Continue reading

This sounds like fun; I was aware of Bistro Corlise as the new restaurant downtown, and a French one in particular, but I haven’t been there yet. The old Vino Mercato space. I don’t think we’ve had a French restaurant since, what, Le Bistro on Third Street? (Where Ernesto’s is … Continue reading

(Apparently, Chef Jacques Duc is going to be moving back to California.) By the same vein, Denny’s is closing as well, as … Continue reading
Nothing on their website about it yet—or anywhere else that I know of—but I found out last night that Robby J’s Bistro is closed! As in, out of business.
