Origami | Restaurant Review
My husband and I decided to take the motorcycle downtown this past Saturday night on the spur of the moment. When we made it downtown we decided to get a bite to eat somewhere. I suggest sushi at Origami located in Duval Square. They have parking and outdoor seating and the weather was just perfect. The food is always fresh and delicious and the setting is tropical and unpretentious. Even though they were fairly busy we found a table for two in front of the entrance. (more…)

Roostica Wood Fire Pizzeria | Review
Last night we took some visiting friends with us to Roostica Wood Fire Pizzeria for dinner. I liked it before, but they just keep getting better! The place was absolutely packed on a Sunday night, although that may have been partially due to the last game of the world series playing as there were a few locals sitting at the bar. But most people seemed to be there for the food. Sunday nights only Roostica does a Sunday Gravy, which is (more…)

La Trattoria Oceanside | Updated Review
Our friends Amy and Kevin are in town this week celebrating their anniversary and they invited us out to dinner with them and their son Kyle last night. Amy is an avid reader of my reviews and so she asked, “where would Island Genn go to have a nice dinner?” She decided on La Trattoria Oceanside because of my last review but also because it has a nice view, it is not downtown, it is a classy place, and has good food and service.
We had reservations for 7pm but we arrived a few minutes early. We decided to sit at the bar and have a drink before being seated at our table. La Trat, as the locals call it, is known for their martinis. But I had to be difficult and asked the bartender for a mojito which is not something he normally makes. He ran to the kitchen, got some mint, and made me a refreshing mojito even though he did not have to. (more…)
ZaZa Pizzeria | Updated Review
I know that I said that I would probably not be going back here due to the service I experienced last time I was there, but ZaZa Pizzeria is across the street from my house and since we were going out of town the next day we went there to get an overpriced pizza. The inside dining area is still way too loud, so we once again sat outside.
This time our waiter was really good. Yay! He kept on top of everything and was really nice. We ordered salads and pizza. Initially when ZaZa’s opened they did not have pepperoni or other traditional pizza toppings as they were not “traditional Italian” foods. But I guess due to high demand they have added pepperoni to their list of pizza toppings much to my husband’s delight. The salads were good like last time and the pizza was much better than our last experience. (more…)
