Spicy ahi poke with avocado mousse and toasted rice crackers. $15
SKY Waikiki, Honolulu HI
This was delicious (and pretty), but there wasn’t much of it. I thought the flavors were great though and the thin, crispy rice crackers were fun.
Caramelized onions, baby spinach, mozzarella, pecorino cheese, basil, oregano, garlic olive oil.
Sliver Pizzeria, Berkeley CA
This pizza was great! I probably like these daily slices better than Arizmendi. I like the softer crust and the toppings are equally fresh and varied.
With celery sticks. Happy hour $8
Alibi Azul, Palm Springs CA
Now these were proper spicy wings! I loved the heat and they were super saucy just how I liked them. I’ll be back for these babies, noms!
Half an order. Happy hour $10
Alibi Azul, Palm Springs CA
This was buttery, greasy, and very cheesy. I’m sure it is horrible for you, but I certainly enjoyed it. It was like have a spinach and artichoke dip on top of flatbread. Yum!
Half pound patty, Tillamook cheddar, grilled kaiser roll and fries. Happy hour $9.25
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
This burger was a pretty good size and nicely priced for happy hour. The fries were hot and crispy and wonderful.
Three-chili sauce and napa slaw. Happy hour $8.25
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
This was pretty good! It’s comparable to what other restaurants call “firecracker” shrimp – breaded and deep-fried with a sticky mayo sauce. The napa slaw was nice in cutting the fattiness of the shrimp.
Sesame-soy marinated raw yellowfin tuna, papaya vinaigrette, and crispy won tons. Happy hour $8.25
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
This was more of a salad with very little ahi poke. They should really consider naming this to reflect what it actually is. Because of the false advertising, I was disappointed.
White wine, butter and lemon. Happy hour $10.75
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
I generally like steamed mussels over steamed clams, but these were decent and their were plenty of them. They were on the verge of being overcooked and chewy though.
Happy hour $4.25
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
This chowder was moderately thick and pretty yummy. It had plenty of clams in there and the flavor was nicely developed and tasty.
With cocktail sauce. Happy hour $0.99 each
Arnies Restaurant, Edmonds WA
I’m always wary of oyster shooter because I feel like it’s a way for restaurants to get rid of their older oysters. Anyway, I tried on e of these and it wasn’t my thing. The oysters were too large for my liking, and it just didn’t taste all that fresh.
House margarita.
Florida orange gastrique. $18
RN74, San Francisco
I don’t know what all the fuss is about these duck wings. I didn’t like them at all. They were hard, tough, overcooked and really difficult to chew through. The orange gastrique was also too bitter and didn’t do much to any need moisture to these dry wings. Lame.

This salad was super tasty! The dressing was citrus-y and refreshing, and I loved the different textures in the salad. Mmm…
