Hillstone Santa Monica is good. I would go back for sure. I like the atmosphere and the service. Casual and a touch upscale. I guess Hillstone is a chain. 9 across the country but it’s solid. The Grilled Artichoke and California Burger were great. Next time I go I will get the Famous French Dip […]

There is so many good sushi joints in L.A. and Wabi Sabi in Venice is one of them. Plus it’s on Abbot Kinney which is a fun street to stroll on. Lots going on. I could eat their hand rolls all day long.

I really like Jan’s Deli in Meno Park. Nothing fancy about this joint and their food is fresh and scratch made. They don’t even have a website. Great place for a quick sandwich. The Roast Turkey is delish. They are open 10-2:30. Mon-Fri. That’s it. Love this place.
