Williamsburg VA



We purchased 2 10-item sampler tickets for Busch Gardens Mardi Gras event.  We had rum runners, hurricanes, margaritas, crawfish boil, beignets, cajun chicken, gumbo, cajun meatballs, etc.  All were pretty good.  The beignets were so good we got them both days.  



We went to Matchsticks BBQ for dinner.  I got pork with mac n cheese and slaw on top.  Boyfriend got pork with greens and beans on top.  These were so good!  I highly recommend this place.  You wont go hungry and it was fantastic.  They do sell out so go early.  


Dessert was the limoncello cake from Sal's by Victor.  We had Sal's last time we visited.  My pasta was bland, but the cakes were so good I wanted to get it again this visit.  


Next dinner night was Olde Towne Pizza and Pasta.  Classic Italian American dishes.  This was baked ziti with beef covered in a lot of cheese.  Maybe too much cheese!  I enjoyed it though.




This breakfast was Tipsy Beans.  I had the pineapple mango smoothie and the peanut butter banana granola toast.  Food was solid.  Service was good.  I'd go again!  We tried Another broken egg cafe too.  I had a power waffle with banana and a drizzle of peanut butter.  I don't know if it was worth going back for more.  



 We were in Williamsburg for National Margarita Day!  We tried La Terraza.  They have $3 house margaritas on Monday and Tuesdays.  I had 3!  They were actually pretty strong, but small.  Boyfriend and I both got the burrito Mexicano.  It was huge and delicious.  We also had queso fundido which I haven't had in a long time.  The only downfall of this place was their chips.  They weren't great.  Not fresh tasting at all.  The salsa was also bland.  No kick to it at all.  Not even garlic and oniony.

Raku

Last night our friends had reservations for Raku and invited us along. We went to the Bethesda location but there is also a location near Dupont Circle and in Arlington. http://www.rakuasiandining.com/ They only had chopsticks at the table and I'm terrible at using them Luckily everyone else at the table was great at using chopsticks. When our friends were served the tofu salad (this looked good and you must love seaweed) they brought them forks but they used chopsticks and I scored a fork :) Our friends also ordered some spring rolls but the spring rolls on the menu seemed to come with shrimp which I dont eat. The dipping sauces that came with their rolls looked really good. The presentation of the dish was really nice They split an entree which was a bento box with beef tenderloin with pomegranate wine sauce (they said the sauce was divine) and an assortment of fish, tempura veggies, some mushrooms etc. It was a huge box of food My husband and I ordered 8 tempura green bean s...
