Louisville is the Place to Be!

On our way home from St Louis this past week we ventured our way through Louisville, KY. If you've ever been through Louisville or stopped through you may have noticed this little city has nothing but big flavors. This isn't the first place we have been fortunate enough to try out and it definitely will not be the last. 

Mojito Tapas Restaurant

2231 Holiday Manor Ctr, Louisville, KY 40222

You may wonder what made us chose this place from all of the other wonderful options, well to be honest, it was just luck of the draw. We were headed to Wild Eggs, but ended up running behind schedule and they close at 3 pm. So as pictured you see Mojito Tapas, beautiful modern exterior. 

Upon venturing inside, the restaurant was laid back and relaxing. There were not very many dining so we didn't have to wait, and were seated right away by our kind server. They also have spacious booths and tables, along with delightful Spanish paintings. 

Since it was National Margarita Day, I of course opted for a Margarita with strawberry infused. The margarita was delicious! The flavor and alcohol was well balanced, not too sweet and not too much liquor either. They seemed to have found the perfect middle ground. 

There were so many options to pick from that sounded delicious, we had a hard time choosing only one main entree. We opted for a side of the chicken tacos to share, Seth chose Lamb chops over hummus, and I chose Chicken Marsala. 


The plating was beautiful. 


Via Seth,

"I ordered the Lamb medium rare and they were cooked absolutely perfect. Filled with flavor, juicy and absolutely delicious. The red pepper hummus was great and full of amazing spices and flavors. I would have changed nothing about it." 



As for my wonderful dish, it was wonderful. Did I mention, it was Wonderful? Being a somewhat light eater, I don't usually clear my plate. But this time it was too good to let one single morsel go to waste. The chicken was cooked beautifully, it fell apart at the touch of silverware. The Marsala sauce had a great flavor and sweetness. It was served over mashed potatoes which pulled it all together perfectly. I wish there were better words to explain how exceptional our entrees were!




Last but not least, the chicken tacos. The tacos had shredded chicken cooked in a tomato creole sauce, placed atop a bit of guacamole. 

Loaded with cilantro, and a slight drizzle of sour cream, they did not need many toppings. Everything tasted amazing together. Freshly cut limes were provided on the side for a squeeze of juice to top it all off. Tacos are not tacos without lime! 

Our food was beautifully crafted, the service was good, and the space comfortable. We could not have wished for a better meal. 

Ten out of Ten Mojito Tapas, Ten out of Ten!

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet

Breakfast Time at Table 1

Being Ohio natives we were happy to find an independent restaurant near us. It had Great decor, and the restaurant itself had a visually fun and hip/modern look (no surprise here.. most small businesses take this role). The lighting was at a relaxing level, they placed numbers above the tables to try and give a unique look. Enough about the decor though, lets move on to the important Tids! First things first, drink options. They had a small variety of drinks offering the usual selections - Soda, Water, Tea, O-J, Milk. We decided on getting the Cola, because we had a long drive ahead - we were headed for Amish Country in Millersburg OH. (Blog soon to come..) Our server seemed to be lacking some energy that day as well, I mean it was Saturday. She brought our drinks and we were surprised to see more than a simple cup, Coca-cola served to you in a jar! Enough mumbo about the drinks though, onward to the main course. We both opted for The eggs Benedict. We were unsure o

The Ale House May be Good for Whatever Ails You

All of you Ohio natives out there, if you havent been to Ale house 1890 in Lancaster Ohio you are definitely missing out. They have wonderful hamburgers and so many to menu items to choose from! All of these burgers are specially made with their own selection of fresh ingredients. They definitely know their way around a burger! They also have new specials  pretty frequently such as fried macoroni! (See review for fried Macoroni below!) so go in and don't miss them! Ale House 1890 Our first pick from the menu was the Barnyard Burger.  Barnyard Burger This burger was an absolute taste masterpiece! The first bite I took I could immediately taste the sweetness of marmalade and the grilled taste of the patty which collided with each other creating a  wonderful taste combination. The garlic aoli was a nice touch to the burger as well, better than mayonnaise if you ask me! Also the micro greens was a great bonus to an already delcious sandwich. And what is better on a b
