Poochie "Rated M for Meaty!" M.'s Profile

This place is insane!  The seafood is so fresh it's not even dead yet!  They have huge fish tanks filled with lobsters, crab, striped bass, catfish, and more.  Then there's the live snails, blue crabs, oysters, fish heads, and squid!  I love the aisles and aisles of asian condiments, even though I don't know what any of them are.  You won't get that at Safeway baby!!!

Sausages Snausages!  Went here for the AmAzInG Family Dog Rescue fundraiser.  I'm new on the whole sausage craze scene so I didn't exactly know what to get.  I tried the chicken habanero sausage (smoked in tequila), which seemed like a winner!  It was OK, definitely spicey in a "I'm gonna regret this in the morning" kinda way.  The real winner here though is the beer menu!!!  Lots of great beers on tap.  Minus a star because the website said they had Paulaner and they didn't!  Grrrrrr!!  Why do these people think they can get me all excited for a beer that they don't even have anymore!?!?!?!  Seriously, don't torture the dog!

Pretty standard pub fare.  Both the food and drinks are a little pricey and the service was a bit slow.  I got the pulled pork sliders which were pretty tasty and a side order of fries and onion rings.  My friend's burger looked pretty awesome (see pic).  They were out of Carlsberg (after making me want it so bad) which sucks because that's one of Poochie's favorite beers.  Grrrrrrr!!!

As a card carrying carnivore, I can honestly say that I liked this place!  One of my best friends was in town for a meeting and just so happens that she's allergic to meat.  I know, I asked if she's tried buffalo and she won't go there.  Nonetheless, me being the open minded fellow yelped vegetarian restaurants and came across Millennium.  The deep fried oyster mushrooms were pretty much the highlight of the meal.  The person who said they were bland probably didn't put some of that table salt they have on top.  The entrees were a little pricey and the 3 course price fix menu didn't include all items, so we just ordered a few small plates.  I was all over the gnocchi with lobster mushrooms!  Although the lobster mushrooms weren't quite how I would make them, the gnocchi was decadent.  Didn't taste vegetarian at all.  We also got some seasonal salad with apples but they forgot the apples.  It was OK since they brought us a plate of apples once we realized that they weren't in our salad after our server had raved about them.  They have a nice wine list too, although our $14 glasses of Talbot pinot were a little skimpy.

This place has some cool stuff but the giant Akita was more helpful than the employees were.  No one asked to help us find what we were looking for.  They sell used/salvaged laboratory equipment but the prices are pretty steep.  A (used) tissue culture bottle from UCSF shouldn't cost $6.  I'm just sayin!

$7 for a pint of Asahi?!?!?  Are you SeRiOuS?!?!?  I was roped in by the $13.95 all you can eat special but wasn't expecting to pay $7 for a beer.  That's just bait and switch.  Sure you can eat a ton of sushi, and we did, but none of the rolls were particularly spectacular or inspired, plus I had a  blow-out when I got home.  Wasn't pretty.  The crazy roll has 3 different kinds of fish in it so that's about as exciting as it got, though the rock and roll was pretty good.  They still use fake crab and the rolls were sticking to each other such that they fell apart when you tried to separate them.  My friend likes this place but I'm not sure I'm that crazy about it.  :(

I was expecting it to be insanely delicious based upon all these 5 star reviews, but it was just OK.  We showed up around 2 which is a little late for lunch and the place was empty.  They haven't gotten their liquor license yet so it was just tea and water for me!  The soup was pretty simple egg drop soup.  Egg roll was cold.  The Mongolian lamb was pretty good but something was missing.  It was pretty healthy tasting but it wasn't spicy enough and probably needed some more salt/msg.  The portion was pretty huge though.  I would go back but I would try something else next time (like General Tsao's chicken).

Well, I'm not a huge fan of the beer selection.  They really need a Stella or Carlsberg type option.  But the owner throws great benefits for dog and cat rescue groups so she gets 5 stars for that!

Messy but good!

Meh...  It was OK I guess.  From the looks of the menu, this place appeared to be a little bit upscale.  This was not the case when we got there.  The chairs were literally outdoor patio furniture.  I sat on the bench side and the cushion was falling apart and uncomfortable.  I ordered Pad Kee Mao with pork, spicy.  I couldn't tell if it was chicken or pork, although it was really spicy.  Unfortunately, something was just missing.  Pad Kee Mao should be a marriage of flavors but this just wasn't.  The portion size was large but it was also kinda expensive for lunch ($10.95).  Wasn't awful but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back either.
