I wanted to like The Plain so much but I guess it was just way too crowded when I checked it out. The boy who lead us in was very sweet. Very warm and welcoming service indeed – the best … Continue reading →

Had a lovely time at Oriole, which is just outside Somerset 313, although I’m afraid the air-conditioning was a bit too cold for my cousin. I on the other hand am a walking furnace so it was just nice for … Continue reading →
