Best Dessert in town

We have lived in Charlottesville for 13 years.....and this dessert is still our favorite
Banana Bread topped with ice cream and an amazing sauce

Dining.....Downtown

Heading out to First Fridays......
Thought I would list some of My Favorite Restaurants and why...
Please let me know your favorites.....

so....after you stop by 2nd Street Gallery (Abby Kasonik) and Artifacts (Wolfgang Seierl)
(these are both MUST SEE openings)


Here are my recommendations for food:
Bizou-Make sure that you try the Banana Bread Desert....and I always get the Fried chicken and Murdoch LOVES the meatloaf
Ten-Sushi-Escalar.....my favorite--any and every way they serve it....
Blue Light- The Sweet and Savory Popcorn appetizer is amazing.  I had the steak and eggs special the other night-a great protein blast....this is an easy place to take the kids after first fridays.....they feel like they have had a "night on the town" (a great place for people watching)
Revolutionary Soup-Lamb Curry every time....(at least 2-3x/week)I know have it delivered through Retail Relay...The Spicy Peanut Tofu is another favorite.....
C&O Restaurant-The vegetable soup and house salad
FLEURIE by far one of my favorite winter bars-the food....its perfect.
Petit Pois-I have not been here in awhile but always enjoy the menu....
Zo-Ca-Lo-One of Murdoch's all time favorite places to dine.....he  LOVES the Steak Frites.

Pati and Allen, Elizabeth and Temple, Alana and her children, Murdoch's family, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Timmy Smith--the list goes on...and we were NOT all together.

Word on the street is that Peter Chang will move on--- better to go now.  Get in line (early).

Enjoy Really Good Food.

 
 

PS I am pretty sure that they could care less whether or not "scout" sent you;)

Mona Lisa Pasta for Dinner

Murdoch LOVES the Spicy Peanut Soup at Mona Lisa Pasta
 
So Cute....the woman at Mona Lisa Pasta made him a bunch of soup to take home and freeze...he is a loyal peanut soup customer!

I love the homemade pasta and pizza dough

A great idea for the holidays!
Gear up...Grab some SOUP

Ten is a Perfect Ten

The Japanese word ten can mean “heaven", “above" or “celebration" and the dining experience at TEN is all of these things.

 

Beautiful and Glamorous

 This place will make you wonder about this town. 
Secretly Chic and Oh So Sophisticated....but don't tell ANYONE.
