Have been eying this for a while and finally dined here earlier this week.  

Relatively small restaurant, like the open kitchen. The maitre d was a little iffy. She was not very friendly and seemed more keen to talk casually with the rest of the staff as opposed to focusing on the customers. Our waiter was much better. Very attentive and helpful.  Food was good, not great.  The bruschetta and gnocchi were decent. My favorite was the dessert from the daily menu which was a white chocolate mousse. Yum Yum.

The best bulani PERIOD. Try the ones with the leeks instead of the potato.  The man who works here seems really nice. I wish him well.

Wish I could do more than 5.

Had some people over for dinner and decided to hit up Oasis Grill. The food was incredible as expected and everyone LOVED it. The best babaghonoush and hummus ever.

Hassan was awesome, super nice. He went way above and beyond and made sure that I got everything I needed even though it was a big order and I had not given them any advance notice. IMHO, anything less than 5 stars would be travesty for Oasis Grill.

    Wowza!! Another awesome Yelp discovery. I love these tiny places that have great food.

    The Mezze plate was awesome and the kebab plate was delicious. Nice young guys who seem to run the place.

    Not sure why they sell German chocolate there as well which is  random but I do like Kinder chocolate.

Pizza Hut

Our usual is Round Table or Little Caeser for a quick pick up and Pizza Hut has not been in the consciousness for a while. Decided to revisit Pizza Hut after seeing what sounded like a good deal. $10 for large pizza with 3 toppings and $12 for large specialty.

For a change decided to dine in. The deal was valid which is nice, I have had experiences where some of the stores do not honor some offers. Pizza was decent, not Round Table though. The downer was that even though they say they are dine-in, they have no plates and no cups for water. Weird. Also all the games were broken. I liked their dunkin chocolate dessert. Total carb overload but you need those once in a while.

One of my favorite rides at Disney. The mellow ride and the interesting scenes they have created seem to do it for me.

This ride has not really changed over the years and I think it still works. The jokes are still as dry as they come. Tried it night for the first one and it was nice.

Ridiculous prices just like the other Disney restaurants but better food. They have  chicken and steak skewers with different sauces. The funniest dish was one asparagus with 1 slice of bacon which was around $3.50. It was the best tasting item but really? It was so tiny, can't even call an appetizer.

OMG! Hayward 1 - Palo Alto 0.

Who would have thought that Hayward would win the cupcake wars?? This place is a delight. I have eaten at all the ritzy cupcakes joints in the Bay Area and in other cities and this is now my all time favorite. Everything I had was unique and D-LISH-CIOUS!!

The owner seemed friendly and passionate about what she did.  I am going back for sure and think this is going to be a favorite place to pick up gifts when we visit someone.

4 stars for the convenience especially on a hot day.  Works out well especially if you are staying one of the Disney hotels.

I don't know what it is but this is one of my favorites at Disney. Perhaps it has something to do with the fast moving lines or perhaps with the fact that it is relaxing or perhaps it brings back memories of my childhood.
