Ampas Sunset is a new addition along the beach in Zona Romantica. The sexy, open dining space with stone tile floors, large tropical plants, and candlelight is gorgeous. It offers gentle tropical breezes and breathtaking views of Banderas Bay & stunning sunsets. The contemporary menu focuses on fresh seafood.
My friends, Luis & Jose, and I spent several hours enjoying the sunset, sailboats drifting in the bay, and animated conversation.
We nibbled on warm, homemade chips and fresh guacamole as we sipped our Belvedere martinis.
For dinner, I ordered the Shrimp with Mango. The 6 large shrimp rested in delicious sauce of pureed mango and guillo peppers. The shrimp were accompanied by a salad of red leaf lettuce, radicchio and shredded carrots tossed in a very light oil and vinegar dressing. It was excellent. The slices of warm French bread smeared with a bit of soft butter were perfect to dab up the shrimp’s incredible sauce!
Roberto, the manager, and his very friendly, well-trained staff made for a relaxing evening at the beach. Great friends + delicious food = fantastic time. I will be returning to this eatery on my next trip to Puerto Vallarta in November!
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm…

BOCA BENTO - Mismaloya/Puerto Vallarta
I finally made it to Boca Bento's new location approximately 8 kilometers south of Puerto Vallarta in the bay side village of Mismaloya.
"Mismaloya is the small bay side village where in 1963 Hollywood director, John Huston, chose to make the movie "Night of the Iguana" which changed the face of Puerto Vallarta forever. The publicity created by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's love affair and interest in the Mexican town where it occurred, put Puerto Vallarta on the world's map.
Since then, this tropical paradise, where the verdant jungle vegetation of the Sierra Madre mountains meets the crystal clear waters of Bandera Bay, has been passionately linked to Puerto Vallarta's history."
[About Mismaloyla]
Stewart and Monica have the Casa Iguana resort and moved Boca Bento into a large covered dining area (without walls). The very comfortable, tropical garden space made me wonder why it took me so long to visit their new location. Yes, Juan is still in charge of the kitchen.
I invited 5 friends to join me for dinner. We all had a fantastic time.
Unfortunately, I can not find my notes on my meal; I believe I left it at the table. We shared so many different dishes, I can not remember exactly what we had. I do recall that we ate shrimp prepared a couple of different ways, mahi mahi, tangy pad thai, octopus and. . . Scrumptious!
I do remember we started with pomegranate martinis. Refreshingly delicious - we enjoyed several rounds.
Stewart, the gracious owner, stopped by our table several times throughout our meal ensuring all of us were enjoying ourselves. We certainly did.
I plans to return to Puerto Vallarta in May have been pushed to mid-July. I have already made my reservation for dinner! More details after this visit.

AROMA KITCHEN & WINEBAR - New York City - Bowery area
Aroma Kitchen & Winebar is a small, relaxed restaurant with seating for approximately 26 including the intimate bar area. Those diners fortunate to get seat will be treated to an incredible meal of very fresh ingredients delivering intense flavors throughout their dining experience. The long narrow space of color, high ceilings and dark woods create a very comfortable ambiance. You will be surprised how quickly 2 hours will disappear. This evening my dear friend, Sean, and I were treated to the soothing sounds of Daniel; he is a superb acoustic guitar player from Argentina. His rhythms were the perfect background with volume allowing conversation without yelling!
We ordered from their Sunday evening 3-course Prix Fixe menu. For $29, that's right, $29, you can choose from 5 appetizers, 5 entrees and 3 desserts. For an additional $8, you can enjoy a glass of house red or white with your meal. I began with the Caesar salad - a generous serving of greens, croutons, parmigiano reggiano, anchovy, & a very smooth Caesar dressing (homemade, of course). This satisfying starter was topped with a poached egg. The egg provided a delicate balance to the anchovy draped across the top of the salad.
My entree was the Whole Wheat Penne with roasted artichokes. The organic pasta was perfectly cooked, accompanied by cherry tomatoes and toasted pine nuts. This bowl of heaven was lightly tossed in a pureed artichoke sauce of artichokes, onion, celery and thyme. All of this goodness was dusted with fresh grated parmigiano reggiano.

For dessert, Sean & I, ordered the Gianduja Panna Cotta and Vanilla Bread Pudding. The lighter-than-air panna cotta was delicately flavored with Italian chocolate and hazelnuts resting on a bed of lightly sweetened graham cracker crumbs nestled next to a dollop of decadently smooth hazelnut gelato (nocciola gelato).
The vanilla bread pudding was a sinful blend of Italian bread, golden raisins, and a very smooth warm chocolate sauce drizzled over the plate. You have the option of dipping your bites of sin in the very fresh vanilla bean ice cream (correctly referred to as stracciatella gelato) with bits of chocolate chips. We could not decide which was our favorite. Make it easy; order both!
The very visible & friendly owners, Alexandra & Vito, move among the tables ensuring all their guests have a memorable evening. This neighborhood gem was named to the "Sexiest Wine Lists of NY" in January '08 and CitySearch's "Best Romantic Bar" in '06.

PALOMINO – Minneapolis
Palomino has long been a favorite of mine. The large comfortable dining room and separate bar frequented by the bold & beautiful overlook a portion of the theatre district in downtown Minneapolis.
The extensive Mediterranean inspired menu includes 36 special cocktails, 60 reds priced from $24 - $275, 45 whites from $28 - $175, and 28 wines by the glass. The wine flights of 3 – 2 oz pours selected from a very nice list of Riesling, chardonnay, syrah & cab sauvignons are from $12 - $18. This is a great opportunity to try something different.
My libation for the evening was the Ginger Peartini; a delicious combination of Grey Goose La Poire, triple sec, ginger liquor and fresh lime sour. Very tasty.
I began with the Portobello Mushroom soup – a luscious velvety blend of fresh Portobello and crimini mushrooms, caramelized onions, leeks, a touch of cayenne, in a light sherry cream base. Simply the best mushroom soup I can remember eating! My entrée of choice was the Chicken Piccata. A large, moist split chicken breast rests on a creamy mound of whipped potatoes. The delicate lemon sauce sprinkled with capers pulls this fantastic dish together.
The entire friendly staff, from the hostess to the bus person, all want you to have a great dining experience. I always do!

TALENTO - Puerto Vallarta
Talento is located on the malecon in downtown zone. Talento is a beautiful contemporary space. You enter this colorful eatery by walking up a couple flights of stairs off the sidewalk entrance. This interesting restaurant is a wonderful surprise. From the outside, you have no clue that it has 30+ foot ceilings, a glass-walled private event space, an elevated bar on the “third level” looking into the main dining area, a glass-walled wine tasting room and market, huge Thai lanterns and numerous aquariums of miniature jelly fish!
Be amazed with the house magician’s slight of hand. Giovanni comes to your table and performs 4 “how did he do that” illusions. All heads turn in the bar and up from the dining room to watch the very sexy, sensual belly dancer perform on the bar level of the room. Both artists were very entertaining.
My friend, Leo, and I began with the Shrimp Rolls. These crispy, delicate nibbles were stuffed with whole savory shrimp. The shrimp rolls were served on a banana leaf sprinkled with colorful bits of peppers. The tamarind dipping sauce was divine.
Our second starter was the Sea Scallop Carpaccio. The thinly sliced, very fresh scallops were served in a mildly spicy citrus sauce with paper-thin slices of cucumbers. Superb!
Leo had the grilled salmon. The salmon served with an herb infused butter sauce came plated with garlic mashed potatoes and crispy shredded beets. He devoured his dinner; I was only able to sneak a taste of the crispy beets. I was surprised at how sweet they were, reminding me of sweet potato fries.
I ordered the Tiger Shrimp entrée. The 4 large shrimp were exquisitely wrapped with spirals of phyllo dough and then deep fried. The shrimp were sweet – absolutely delicious. The beautiful, but excessive, spirals of phyllo held too much oil for my taste. I would prefer one thin piece of dough to hold the seasonings with the shrimp while cooking. The phyllo was easily removed and I continued to enjoy my meal. The shrimp was served with a fantastic tangerine, soy and ginger sauce. A generous side of sticky rice and crispy spinach leaves accompanied the shrimp. The crispy spinach leaves were sprinkled with spicy soy. Unusual and very good.
Our libation of choice for the evening was the Mango Martini. Our server indicated the bar was known for their special martinis – so true! Tropically refreshing.
The service was somewhat lax but the ambiance, dining entertainment and a good friend made for a wonderful evening.
Mmm, Mmm...

COLIBRI MEXICAN BISTRO - San Francisco
COLIBRI MEXICAN BISTRO is an easy 5-minute walk from Union Square. It is located next to the Diva Hotel on Geary Street.
After a long afternoon of shopping and walking in this amazing City by the Bay, I was ready for some authentic Mexican cuisine.
This Mexican bistro offers a traditional menu with a twist. The décor resembles cantinas found in the early 1900’s. I ordered the made-at-your-table Guacamole. The guacamole had the perfect combination of semi-mashed avocado, chucks of tomato, fresh squeezed lime juice & a secret ingredient or 2. This was served with a stack of hand made tortillas, still warm from the griddle. No need for chips when you can eat warm tortillas.
I had a bowl of Pozole Verde for dinner. This chicken and hominy soup was perfection at its simplest. It is served Sinaloa style (recipe typical to Western Mexican) with jalapeno chili, tomatillo and some secret spices. A side plate of diced radish, shredded lettuce, oregano, onion & homemade tortilla chips are yours for garnishing the pozole. I have found no pozole better than this outside of Mexico!
The Diva Hotel is a wonderful boutique property that offers room service from Colibri. I recommend staying at the Diva - excellent location, fair priced, and an extremely accommodating & friendly staff.
I ate at the bar where I could watch the entertaining bartenders. They are masters at making margaritas with lighting speed. I learned that they offer more than 100 different types of tequila. You will most certainly enjoy yourself at Colibri. I will definitely return during my next visit to San Francisco.

THE VIEW - Minneapolis
The View is located across the street from Lake Calhoun. For those of you connected to the web, The View offers online reservations.
Seldom do I stray from my favorite on the menu. By now, you know it is the flank steak and grilled vegetables. I listened to Stephen & went for the seafood. He has never steered me wrong - tonight was no exception.
We started with the baby Portobello mushroom caps stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese. Excellent. We were tempted to order another serving. For dinner this evening, I had the Parmesan crusted sea bass with roasted butternut squash with a hint of nutmeg. The sea bass was drizzled with a very light Gorgonzola cream sauce. Outstanding – the sea bass was cooked to a flakey perfection!
For dessert, my dinner companion, Joel, and I split the Signature cheesecake. On this visit, we had 2 sides each of the homemade caramel and strawberry sauces. This dessert was as good as it was on my prior 12+ visits. This is a perfect solution to satisfy your after-dinner craving for something sweet.

THE VIEW - Minneapolis
The View was last night's place to be in the Cities. The ballroom in the same building as the View was the site of the "BooBall". The restaurant and lounge were overflowing with gorgeous diners in fabulous costumes. The View is located across the street from Lake Calhoun. Plan ahead and request Stephen’s section. For those connected to the web, the View offers online reservations.
Once again, I had the Tomato Basil soup as my starter to the meal. The soup is a comforting blend of roasted roma tomatoes and basil in a base of chicken stock. On this visit, I requested additional basil in my soup. Fantastic!
This evening I strayed from the always perfect broiled flank steak and had the grilled Tilapia. The generous piece of fish was gently grilled and simply seasoned with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. The fish was topped with sliced, sweet & juicy black, green and red grapes. Asparagus was the fresh vegetable of the day. The entrée was simply delicious.
The rich slice of Signature Cheesecake accompanied by a trio of sauces – caramel (my favorite), chocolate and fresh berry. Another perfect dessert to share. The caramel sauce is spectacular; I used a spoon to get every drop from its serving cup.
The View is one of my favorite restaurants. I eat there more often than my blog indicates. I will continue to add my experiences as I work my way through the menu. This could take awhile; I often order my favorite – the flank steak. Farzaad & Lorenzo ensure all guests receive “service with a smile!”
