Mai's - YES, please!

Location: Midtown
Mai's Menu
Price: $$
Reviewed: Dinner
Reviewer: Yas
Attire: Casual
When Mai’s burned down back in February of 2010, the city of Houston mourned the loss of a popular treasure.  Well, Mai’s is back in full effect with a swanky makeover. And the best part of it all? The food hasn’t skipped a beat!

Taverna - LOVES IT!!!

parmesan crusted shrimp on crispy polenta...uh, YEAH!
*****
Location: Downtown
Price: $$
Reviewed: Dinner, Happy Hour
Attire: Casual, but feel free to get a little jazzy
Reviewers: All 3 Foodies!


Taverna has an intimate feel with amazing Italian food. Great for a date, or just a dinner with the girls. If the weather’s right, sit outside and people watch for a New York eating experience. Come for happy hour and get great $2 peach bellinis or orange mimosas and half-off pizzas and appetizers!

The Easiest Salmon (with pesto) Recipe EVER.


I love this recipe because it takes less than five minutes to prep, requires NO MEASURING, and cooks in 15 minutes.  Pair the salmon with fresh veggies, a baked potato, pasta...(or some leftover pasta salad from La Madeleine's like I did), and you have a fresh, healthy meal that you didn't have to slave for.

For the recipe...
