Z-Pita

Location: Port Jefferson Village, NY.

Usual lunch and dinner fare are Mediterranean but they have fondue nights and great breakfast too. Here's a picture of my Eggs Florentine. Yum!! Rating? 4.5 out of 5 loaves.

Crepes No Ka 'Oi

Location: Kailua, Oahu

Deeeelish!! That's all that needs to be said. And friendly!! We thoroughly enjoyed our crepes here, including the sweet crepe pictured here called "Lover's Delight". We shared this after a meal of savory crepes. Yum! Rating? 5 loaves for sure!!

Tiger Lily

Tiger Lily serves an abundance of vegetarian and vegan food, along with a few poultry options as well as various cold and hot drinks, including fresh squeezed juices. I love their Chai Lattes. This is a yummy falafel wrap. My favorite usually is the crab cake sandwich but I thought I'd try something new. FYI: this is a cash only place. Location? Port Jeff Village. Rating: 5 loaves. :)

The Point

Location: Montauk, NY. Variety of food from burgers to fish & chips to seafood marinara. Reasonable food at reasonable prices. Rating? 3.5 loaves.

Colosseo Pizza

Pizza doesn't get better than this around these parts. Colosseo has the best pizza for miles! Yummy New York style pizza. Location? Mount Sinai, NY. Bring some cash cuz they don't accept credit or debit cards. Rating: 5 loaves.

California Pizza Kitchen

I usually don't include big chain restaurants but considering I'm happy we have CPK to resort to when in search of good food in my area, I'm including this one on my blog! This is one of my favorite pizzas at CPK - the Jamaican Jerk Chicken pizza ! And I'm so glad they have a CPK here on the middle of Long Island!! This one is in Lake Grove, outside the Smithhaven Mall. Rating? I'd give it 4 out of 5 loaves. :)

La Casa Pizza & Restaurant

Location: Miller Place, NY. Type of food: Italian.

I don't know if this is a chain or not, but I definitely would not go here again - especially in light of what awesome food there is at O Sole Mio! The garlic knots that they serve you prior to dinner (after making you wait a very long time for them) was very very doughy....It's like they popped it into the oven just for a few minutes. Bringing back a "fresh" batch that was a bit browner did not make them any better really. The food was quite bland, except for the fried stuff (scallops, flounder, shrimp). Overall, it wouldn't be a place to which I'd return. Rating: 1 loaf

Sabai Thai

Location: Miller Place, NY. Type of food: Thai.

After a few disappointing eats of Thai here on Long Island, we have finally found one that will satisfy the craving when it hits. We really enjoyed our dinner here. But don't overstay your welcome as they kick you out precisely a few minutes before the closing time stated on the door. Rating: 3.5 loaves.

O Sole Mio

Location: Nesconset, New York (Long Island). Type of food: Italian.

This place has a take-out counter, sit-in-and-eat area, as well as a formal dining area. The food is fabulous and the portions are very generous. The bread they bring to your table is a must-try! But don't fill up on it if you want to eat your meal! I've been here several times and tried something new each time; and I must say, everything is always good. Rating: 5 loaves.

Gordon Biersch

Location: Old Town Pasadena. Type of food: Assorted popular (we went for steak).

This place is like a brewery. But we didn't try the ale. We just ate the food. :) It wasn't so great. Sylvia had the meat and I had BBQ salmon. I think the salmon was better than the steak. Oh, and get this... they didn't have any more steak sauce! It was only 6 p.m. when we went to eat!! How could this be???? Ah well. Can you guess how many more times we'll be going back there? Price range: $12-30. Rating: 2.5 loaves.
