We were invited for dinner at Tagaris Winery for their monthly “last supper”. Tagaris will feature a theme-style dinner on the last Thursday of every month. Tonight’s dinner was themed “One Stop Pub Crawl” and it was an amazing assortment of very delicious food. The appetizer portion was a pretzel served with a very delicious […]
We pushed up our planned date night from the 21st to the 14th because we anticipated that restaurants would be getting shut down again. We lead off with some great cabernet sauvignon and their avocado fries. I believe the wine was their 2018 Reader. She went with their Steelhead salad. This was the second time […]
This was one of our first date nights during this COVID bs and it was great. Kim went with the steelhead they had on their fresh sheet. It was substantial and delicious. I went with an Italian style chicken they had. It was also substantial and delicious. Between the two dishes, I would have gone […]
One of my favorite places in the Tri-Cities for a great date night is Tagaris in Richland. The venue is great. The food is great. The wine is great…. And you can see where this is going, the service is great. Tonight we just did some wine and appetizers and listened to some good music. […]
Kim and I decided to go to Tagaris for Valentines Day. It was perfect. The service was on point (Thanks Mero) and the food was outstanding. Here’s what we had. Fried Artichoke Hearts These Fried Artichoke Hearts were really good. Much better than I imagined they would be. They give the avocado fries down the […]
I hadn’t been to Tagaris for dinner in a few years. The main reason for this was really because I thought they were very overpriced and very undervalued for what they were offering for food and wine. It was really that simple. They just didn’t meet my arbitrary threshold on my “value meter”. That has […]
There have been a couple of actual “breakfast burgers” done up by restaurants in the Tri-Cities. This breakfast burger is the front-runner. It is absolutely delicious. Tons of flavor and a great value. Bookwalter is upping their breakfast game so be sure to get in there. When you’re looking for a place in the Tri-Cities […]
PROOF Gastropub in Kennewick is the newest restaurant to open in the Tri-Cities. It is offering some outstanding food and drinks along with a very nice view extending north to the Columbia River. Crab Cakes My friend Ginger said these were the best crab cakes in the Tri-Cities. I wouldn’t disagree with this statement. They […]
I love an Old Fashioned. The best one I’ve had yet was in Las Vegas at Giada’s in the Cromwell. It was made with Bookers and it was outstanding. Here in the Tri-Cities, I haven’t found a place that carries Bookers yet, but I will always ask for an Old Fashioned when the opportunity arises. […]
I popped out to Bookwalter for a quick bite and to talk “foodie” shop with a good friend. She recommended the Smoked Gouda Bacon Burger so I said, “why not?”. This is a darn good burger. The beef was flavorful and the mustard aioli and homemade “steak sauce” really made the burger pop. Bookwalter continues […]
