restaurants | dining | wine

My career has led me to appreciate everything about restaurants all over the world. From the buzzing energy of the staff, to the symphony of service. You'll see that I also have a penchant for pretty coffee shops.

Folk

Did I go for the floral installation? Yes. Did I stay for the latte and the selection of cookbooks from some of my favorite female chefs? Also yes. This spot is a MUST in Detroit, MI.

Bar Cala

This PDX bar feels like a piece of my LA home. The cocktails are excellent. I highly suggest that you go here with your girlfriends.

A Cevicheria

In the heart of Lisbon's Príncipe Real you'll find this stunning restaurant famous for Chef Kiko's ceviche and Pisco sours. The absolute best Pisco sours. Yes, I did have two. And yes, I would go back for two more.

Leonetta

This restaurant's eclectic-warm design is what drew me in, but it was the Ginga cherry cocktail that really made me fall in love with this beautiful spot, also in Lisbon.

White Wine + Seafood Girly

Try to name a better combo to enjoy during a long summer afternoon. I'll wait.

Beach Club Gran Folie

This salmon tartare was savored by the sea. Bliss, bliss, bliss.
