Rivers Restaurant

posted by JohnG on 8 May 2009 at 23:20

Rivers is a very nice, trendy restaurant which overlooks the Chicago River. It has a very nice menu with a good variety of meal options that are attractively prepared and very tasty. The menu changes seasonally, so what is available now may not be available in a few months, but that is one of the reasons I like this place. You never know what they may be featuring and it's always a nice surprise. I really liked their seared duck breast (I like duck and try it whenever I see it on a menu) and love their Mexican-inspired dishes. It's a really nice place that has consistent quality. It's good for families but not particularly kid-friendly (kids 12 and up are OK). Little ones may be out of place.

Maze

posted by JohnG on 8 May 2009 at 21:33

I promised my fiancee that I would take her to one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurant on our trip to the UK. We decided to go to Maze, which is very contemporary and overlooks Grosvenor Gardens in the Mayfair area. It is a very upscale restaurant and pricey, but you will not find anything like it anywhere else. The food has a French-Asian influence, and the menu items are unique. They have a tasting menu, which might be a suggestion I'd make to anyone going there for the first time. You can also order a la carte. The desserts are quite decadent, but make sure you leave room. I would recommend this for a very special occasion and it is for adults only. Children would not appreciate its finesse and you won't want to pay for kids to pick at their food, which they might do here. It is a very adult restaurant with deliciously different food. I recommend the duck breast!

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway

posted by SuzyQ on 7 May 2009 at 22:13

Breathtaking and magnificent are the words that come to mind after taking a trip to the top of Table Mountain. This is one of the most spectacular views you will ever see from the top of any mountain (and I've been to several). As you ascend to the top in the rotating cable car, you are able to take in the entire landscape of Cape Town and the surrounding area. The ride is about 10 minutes, but it goes by quickly. Once you get to the top, there is a great little cafe where you can get a good meal while still enjoying the view. There are also several nature walks at the top of the mountain, which provides opportunities to see local flower, fauna and animal life. This is a great family activity and one point of interest you won't soon forget.

posted by MassNssen on 7 May 2009 at 20:20

This small restaurant is a real jem in Prague,Czech. It skillfuly and wonderfully blends recipes from the local czech cuisine with the mexican and southwestern cuisine, creating an irresetible bouquet. The restaurant serves a number of cheese plates, hot vegetables, salmon and Crepes in addition to Czech favorites. Howevere delicious food needs money, it's not quite cheap.
