  Dinner at Boxcar Cantina is always fun. Even on a Tuesday night, there is a lively crowd, both in the dining room and the bar. The wait staff is unfailingly friendly and attentive. You can’t beat their Super Chief Margaritas – they are delicious. Sharing a plate of Boxcar nachos is a great way to start. Fresh from the oven, the chips drip melted cheese, olives, tomatoes, and scallions, sour cream and salsa. Perfect comfort food...

  If you like creative sushi, order the Magical Roll – spicy crunchy tuna, cucumber, and rice, topped with smoked eel, sweet shrimp, avocado, tobiko and scallions, and drizzled with chef’s special sauce. Definitely an unreal taste experience. If you are hungry, you will love the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box – tender grilled chicken over al dente veggies in teriyaki sauce, rice (white or brown), salad with ginger dressing, potstickers, California roll, miso soup.

  It was nice to see a good crowd on a Wednesday night at Firenze. And although almost all the tables were taken, it was still possible to converse, thanks to the new acoustical tiles they have installed. The men started off with the Tagliere to share: an abundant board of Italian hams, salamis, delicious cheeses, olives, grapes, walnuts and honey. This is a wonderful taste experience, but it does leave you pretty full. Determined to have...

The appetizer menu simply said “Thai Crab Cake,” leading us to expect a few bites. Instead we got two large delicious crab cakes drizzled with a chili crème sauce next to a substantial mesclun salad with papaya and daikon strips as garnish. This dish definitely made for a great lunch. Other appetizer favorites that can make a meal at Tengda: Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps (diced chicken in mild Thai bean paste sauce wrapped in leaves of...

Party with Moms loves Tengda. We’ve written about the amazing appetizers, and how we often make a meal of sharing them. We’ve extolled the great sushi, from California and tuna rolls to the special creative rolls. Last night, we limited ourselves on the appetizers and the sushi offerings to sample some of the great dinner entrées. We didn't go wrong. Green Tea rubbed Salmon with mashed potatoes and lobster was incredible. How luxurious to have lobster...

It is hard to resist filling up on the delicious appetizers at Tengda, but you should definitely save some room for the sushi. Tengda features lots of creative and attractively presented sushi and sashimi. You can pig out on the sushi boat for 2, or dine more modestly on the regular rolls, like tuna, California, yellowtail, spicy crab salad, eel/avocado and many more.  We like to sample the special rolls, products of the sushi chef’s creativity....

Chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes, and French Toast with strawberries are perennial favorites.
