Restaurant Roulette with Suzanne! January Issue!

by Suzanne Lorenzi Sala

There are 3 rules to the game:

1) Every month one person picks the places to dine.

2) No one in the group could have eaten there before.

3) Everyone splits the bill.

Follow me on this journey of tasting new things and learning more about the city I love! Feel free to use this game with your own family or friends and share below the amazing places you find throughout your travels!

-JANUARY-

Happy New Year everyone! We hope all of you have a happy and healthy 2023.

Speaking of health, in case you missed us for our December blog, I was out of commission. I had pneumonia and was in the hospital! We’re back but we’re kind of lame for our New Year kick off dinner. It was my pick. I chose Blue Sky Kitchen and Bar in East Liberty. It was more casual than I expected. The food was decent but the service was really off.

Rachael started with a cute apple pie drink with a salted caramel rim. Unfortunately, she said it was mediocre. ($12)

For our appetizer we ordered burrata with a balsamic reduction over arugula and mixed greens served with nice grilled bread slices. Very tasty. ($13)

Rachael had the French dip and fries as her main course. She commented on the fresh roll and the great quality of beef. ($16)

I ordered a Caesar salad with salmon. It was a generous portion but nothing out of the ordinary. ($18)

We passed on dessert!?! We both laughed and said we need to step it up for next month.

Until then….cheers!
