Hiro 88 Review

Review time!! If you reside in Omaha I know you have to be familiar with Hiro 88! Hiro has 2 locations in Omaha, downtown and West Maple. The honey and I visited the West Maple location during Reverse Happy Hour (10pm-12am) When we looked at the menu we see that they add 18% Gratuity to your order. Doesn’t matter if its just you…or 8 people. Regardless they add 18% I don’t know about you guys….that didn’t make me Happy at all! My honey says that he doesn’t think they do that at the Downtown location. I’m still mad as I write this review. Overall the food was okay….not everything. I did enjoy my Pink Elephant though; I couldn’t even drink it all! I was getting a little tipsy. ;-) I give Hiro 2 smiles.

Ray's In The City Review

Ya girl did it y'all!!! I finally did a review outside of Omaha! Won't He do it!! I'm so thrilled to present to you Ray's In The City! Ray's has 3 locations in Georgia and today I'll be reviewing the Atlanta location on Peachtree. Ray's HH consist of 1/2 price small plates and $5 Absolute Martinis.  Fresh SEAFOOD, Prime STEAKS, and Fine WINES is the motto. Since I was in the A! I wanted to sample everything peach! First drink of choice was the Georgia Peach Martini made with Absolute Peach, peach schnapps, and a splash of orange juice. Heaven in a glass I say. If I wasn't with my boss I would've ordered two! :) The small plates we sampled were Ray's " New Orleans" BBQ Shrimp (cajun style, BBQ butter sauce, boursin grit cake), Crispy Calamari ( tomato marinara and lemon aioli), and Ray's Blue Cheese Chips (house made potato chips, bacon, and blue cheese). Besides the shrimp everything was worth the price. During HH you only get three shrimp but hey it was good regardless. The Chips were my fav! I never thought blue cheese and homemade chips would be so delightful. My overall experience with Ray's was great. They have a lounge area with tvs so you can watch the Falcons game. On the other side of the restaurant is the dinning area, where its a little quiter for a candle light dinner with your boo. Rays is for anyone, as long as you abide by the Business Casual dress code. For my first review outside Omaha....I give Ray 4 Smiles. :)
