ANDIAMO! - DELIZIOSO!

Photos by C. Whitney-Ward

Adiamo! is a neighborhood Italian-inspired trattoria, and since I live in the "neighborhood", I dropped by the other night with a friend.

 We began with their Signature Baked Polenta with Gorgonzola & Rosemary.


And I did ask permission before I licked the plate clean. It was that wonderful.

Then came the House-Made Basil Pesto Ravioli in Tomato Basil Sauce.


I did share with my friend, but only a forkful. I'd order it again in a heart beat.


And, the Pork Scallopini with Red Kale and Mashed Potatoes
 was pure Italian comfort food.

Jinja Bar & Bistro - Menu Art

Jinja Bar & Bistro is one of my favorite Santa Fe restaurants. But, I haven't been there recently, so when I walked through the door and saw these
 colorful chalk  menus, I knew that something was up...and grabbed my camera.

This chic Pan Asian restaurant got a bit of a re-do, adding an additional room  & booths and new design elements. The bar is inviting as always...


And who would mind waiting for a table here...


But the food and the crisp & friendly service is what keeps bringing me back. Today's quick lunch with a friend was a delight.


Lettuce Wraps, Tempura Shrimp & Vietnamese Spring Rolls 


And, an amazing warm Chocolate Silk Cake with Caramel Sauce.
