Restaurant Roulette Elite The Dining Report Lauro Kitchen - All Around the Mediterranean in Under Two Hours I’ve been fond of Lauro Kitchen since the very beginning.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY GRILL AND BAR Yes, the name is a tad strange, obviously a bow to westernization, but the East India Company is a worthwhile place to visit nonetheless.

THE DINING REPORT - BIWA Sucking Up That Never Ending Noodle Well, Spring is blooming in our fair city, but unlike last year at this time, Restaurant Roulette is not burgeoning and busting out at the seams with the advent of the finer weather, in fact it’s struggling mightily.
