Last night Boylan Heights did a friends and family premiere without the alcohol(no abc license yet) and without the servers(so that they could try the food too.) I was impressed, the new red tabletops, fresh paint, and flat screen tvs give the old smoky space a much needed makeover. The menu is modeled […]
I don’t really understand the name Boylan Heights but I’m a fan more than the name The Joint. I wonder what people will call it for short.
The Burger Joint’s name is already taken in Charlottesville by the guys that opened The Burger Joint in DC. The restaurant owners of the new corner spot have been throwing around ideas for a long time, but now that it’s set to open soon they need some help figuring out the name.
What should they name […]
I went by The Burger Joint on Saturday afternoon and they were hard at work getting things ready to open. They decided to change things around with the kitchen layout and an air vent and it has pushed back the opening date since it ended up creating a lot more work and complications with building […]
Al Dente has completed renovations of their new space in the IX building. The white table clothes, high wooden ceiling, big windows and large patio area make the new restaurant look very appealing. Owner, Karim Sellam is also renovating the space beside Al Dente to create a Moroccan themed restaurant and possibly dance […]
Cupcakes are the new easy way to eat cake and Cappellino’s is making it even easier by making the cupcakes for you. You have to know about Cappellino’s or you might miss it because it’s on the newly finished side street across from Fluerie. The cupcakes are very fancy, some are even topped with glitter(is […]

The wraps are made with mostly organic and raw ingredients that are full of fiber […]
Ventana had a soft opening last night. Now they will be open for business, serving Mexican Style Drinks and Tapas. I heard a rumor of an espresso Margarita…sounds interesting! Ventana is next to Bikram Yoga across the street from Salad Creations. It’s in the location of the old Kiki restaurant.
Orbit closed! Yesterday one of the Mellow Mushroom owners, Andrew Watson, and crew made the deal official to take over the space. I like the idea of making that location nice again. I didn’t like how you would walk into Orbit for just 10 minutes and smell horrible and breathe in […]
I finally made it to The Local, only 5 days after the opening. I tried to go on Friday night but the crowd was overwhelming and I’m not a big fan of having to wait for a table. We got there at about 9 on a Tuesday night, so the dinner rush was […]
