Warszawa Restaurant - Santa Monica, California

POST IN PROGRESS

I had never tried Polish food before, so when I heard about this place, I put it on my list of must tries.  Surprisingly, the food is not much different than Austrian or German food, and some of the dishes were quite distinctive and delicious.

Home made pierogi with wild mushrooms and cabbage (appetizer, US$9.00).

Warszawa3

Hot dried plums wrapped in lean bacon garnished with carmelized walnuts (US$8.00).

Warszawa4

Steamed cabbage leaves filled with beef, jasmine rice, and sautéed onions baked in tomato and paprika broth (US$16.00).

Warszawa5

"Warszawa" beef stroganoff with wild mushrooms served over egg-drop dumplings (US$16.00).

Warszawa6

Vanilla crêpe filled with lemon cheese served hot with raspberries (US$6.50).

Border Grill - Santa Monica, California

POST IN PROGRESS

This is not the first time that I've been here, and it definitely won't be my last.  I first dined here in 1999, before visiting the Las Vegas outpost, located at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, back in 2001.  I definitely look forward to my next visit here.

Equipment


  • Canoneos5d
    Canon EOS 5D

    Most of the newer photos on this site are being taken by this camera. I'm still learning how to use it, but I think the photos it takes are amazing. Though the lens I use often varies, many of the photos on this site are taken with a Canon EF 35mm f2.0 lens.


  • Dscu40r
    Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-U40

    A majority of the photos on this site were shot using this little camera. It was compact and discreet -- excellent for taking photos under most conditions. Sadly, it has recently died.
