**** Both Tiger! Tiger! and Toronado have closed
I'm not quite sure why it took so long…..check that; I do know why it took so long to get back into a nice routine after our trip back in May/June. We ate so well that coming back was kind of a let down. But it seems like we've finally gotten back into a routine and Tiger Tiger and Toronado have again taken their spots in our rotation.
In terms of the beer selection Toronado is a favorite of ours.
I really enjoy Belgian's and they always have La Chouffe and a couple of dubbels/tripels so I can get my fix. Or perhaps a Pliney the Elder. The Missus can always find something She enjoys like a nice Flanders Red, a sour, or even like the 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon (you can now get cans at TJ's) which she loved.
But for some strange reason, She enjoys the jukebox here as well. It took a bit of time, but it's become a favorite of Hers.
Personally…I just want to see what's posted on the (e)ATM(e)…..

Well, I pretty much covered it before, so this will be mostly photos.
The first time we had the chilled melon soup, it was fantastic.
It was during the recent hot and muggy weather…..this was so refreshing. While follow-up visits weren't as good, it was still quite nice.
The Octopus Sandwich sounded interesting, but we didn't enjoy the bread and it was way over-dressed.
But the octopus was really nicely prepared, soft and tender and full of flavor. The next time around, I decided to order it without the bread and they served it as a salad. It was delicious.
Those pea shoots added so much texture and flavor. Unfortunately, we had this again recently and it was missing the pea shoot and the octopus was tough and rubbery….we didn't recognize the folks working in the kitchen, so I'm wondering if it was the 'B' crew?
One item that has been consistently good is a vegetarian offering (are you reading this KenB)….yes vegetarian. It's the Pickled Squash Sandwich. I know. It sounds odd. But take a look at this and tell me you don't want to eat it.
Some other stuffs…..
Like I said…..we've never really had the time to make it to the regular menu…..

Hope you're having a great week!
everything looks good!
Yes I am reading! We love pickled veggies so we’ll have to get over there. Haven’t been there in a couple of years. Thanks for the tip.
Most of it was Kat!
Hi Ken – We both loved that pickeld squash sandwich….check it out and let me know what you think!
I recently tried the 21st Amendment Hell or High Watermelon and loved it! I’ve found it on draft at two places so far. The most recent location the bartender combined the Hell or High Watermelon with a bit of Coronado’s orange wit to make a combo beer – maybe the Missus would like this (friend loved it but I preferred the H/H watermelon on it’s own).
I still have a few cans of HH Watermelon waiting for me at home. Such a perfect summer beer.
Hi Faye – That’s a nice combo, but if anything, the Missus wants even more watermelon flavor.
Perfect hot summer day, backyard beer Junichi!
I actually bought that watermelon beer for Bert (found at Sprouts in west CV). Bert thought it was ok but didn’t think watermelon should be a beer flavor, haha. I liked it though!
I think it’s pretty good too CC…..very refreshing.
