Open for almost a year now, I have eaten at Renata’s many times. The location doesn’t have great parking, and it can be quite crowded, but the food is awesome. There are several good vegetarian choices as well as carnivore options. The salads are good, but really the crepes pretty well fill you up so I’ve ordered only one in all these months. The dessert crepes are excellent as well, although again you’ll want to share because you’ll be too full.
The names of the dishes are a bit on the odd side, so be prepared to ask your server for a ‘Blessed Heart’ or ‘Sweet Sappho’. Also be prepared to go without a decent iced tea, because for some ungodly reason they don’t have it. The offer a prepackaged tea drink with high fructose corn syrup, but that’s it.
Other than the absence of iced tea this restaurant provides a fantastic menu with reasonable prices. If you are coming through Humboldt County, definitely stop and eat at Renata’s Creperie.
Three things brought me to the Hard Rock Cafe in Baltimore.
1.Hunger
2.Novelty (I live in a small town)
I’ve been reading Dave at Blogography talk about the great veggie burger at Hard Rock for so long, I half expected the burger to come with a side of crack. I’ve never eaten at a Hard Rock Cafe, but I had pretty high expectations to say the least. Being pretty hungry our table decdided to get an appetizer of onion rings, they sounded good at the time and I can’t think of the last time I ate some really good onion rings.
Twenty-four hours after eating at Hard Rock Cafe, I still can’t.
We ended up being at Hard Rock for more than on hour. Five minutes to order, 45 minutes waiting for the food, 1 minute to be disappointed by the food, ten minutes of chasing down a manager for the check, and 2 minutes to pay and run out the door. I will never go back.
The onion rings were icky and greasy. The veggie burger was a pile of brown rice & veggie bits pressed into a patty, a tepid pile of carbohydrate that no sauce could save.
The accompanying salad was topped with a piece of rotten black drippy lettuce.
Really, ’nuff said.
