With 2011 in the rear view mirror, I want to do a little round-up of all my favorite restaurants and food experiences this past year had to offer, and a little glimpse into what 2012 has in store.
The highlights of 2011:
Wheatfields – As most of you know by now, Wheatfields is one of my favorites in Saratoga. My very first blog post was dedicated to Wheatfields, and every experience I have there is a great one. When people ask my suggestions for where to eat in Saratoga, it’s always at the top of my list.
Cafe Capriccio – This restaurant has been around the block a few times, but it’s one of the newest in Saratoga. I tried them out back in October and was impressed on so many levels. The food was spectacular, the service was superb, and a note I didn’t get to mention in the original review was that the chef actually came out to talk to us on what was a very busy Thursday evening. Hands down a fabulous experience.
Leon’s – Per Rachel Ray’s suggestion on “$40 Dollars a Day”, I went to Leon’s this summer and tried The Burro Ranchero. Let me tell you something, there’s nothing like an authentic Mexican meal in the dead of Summer with a strong margarita in hand. This is exactly what I got when I went there. While I have yet to experience some of the other popular Mexican restaurants in Saratoga, I really loved Leon’s.
Now with those reviews behind me, I look into the new year with a few resolutions. First, I’d like to be more loyal to all of my readers. That means greater and better reviews, including the return of pictures! Second, I want everyone to know that I recognize the value of honesty, and I vouch to be honest and critical in order to give my readers the best reviews I can possibly give. Finally, I understand there’s always room for improvement. With that being said, if you have any suggestions for me, I will gladly accept them. Please, don’t be shy.
I hope everyone had a great 2011, but I have a feeling 2012 will be eeeeeven better. Happy New Year!!
