Problem: I don't normally allow myself to eat things like this. But on October 1, 2012 I decided to allow myself a cheat month. That's right, an entire month to eat things that I haven't eaten in years. I will tell you now, that I have paid dearly for every single cheat that I have done this past month, but in the case of Vanilla Pastry Studio I can say that it may have been worth it. I have tried the following cupcake flavors: Lemon Pumpkin with Cream Cheese Frosting Vanilla Bean Chocolate with Chocolate Buttercream Chocolate with Chocolate Fudge I despise foods that are sweet just for the sake of being sweet. The cupcakes from this studio are anything but sweet for sweetness sake. The flavor just bursts into your mouth with every bite. Everything is so moist, ooey and gooey. My favorites so far have been the Lemon cupcake and the Pumpkin with Cream Cheese frosting. If I had no self-control, I would have returned every day of the month to eat one of each. It does sadden me that it will be at least a year before I allow myself to take even a single bite of these delicious morsels of heaven, but it will make the taste that much better. Vanilla Pastry Studio deserves the spot as my 700th review.

Problem: Best oysters I have ever had in the middle of the desert! Actually, I would venture to say they are better than some places I have been to on the coast. Being in town for work I sometimes eat alone and sit at the bar...the real mark of a top notch establishment is a good bar staff. This place has it for sure. They were quick to get drinks, got my food orders spot on, and were fun to talk to. It was especially hilarious when some foreign students came in (I believe french) and began to hit on one of the regulars. Considering how drunk they already were they got cut off after one drink...and of course left shortly after. The restaurant is a bit off on a side street in what looks like a converted over house...so it has a very relaxed and cozy feel. They also have a huge outdoor patio area. On top of the amazing oysters I had I also had a tuna melt sandwich. It was very good, but was open faced...I expected two slices of bread to make it into a full sandwich. Not a big deal but a little odd.

Problem: Just waited ten minutes to get service and the bartender went and helped her 'friends' before us and made a point to say she was doing so. We also watched who I think was the manage walk by, look at us, then walk away. Just visiting from out of town looking for a relaxing spot. If rather pay three times as much and get better service than be here for their awesomely cheap drinks. Also asked for a food menu and got an eye roll from the bartender. Isn't personality important in the service industry?

Problem: I'm fairly surprised at how many good reviews on this are here. This place was absolutely disgusting! The food was so bland and tasted like it had been sitting for a couple days. We should have known better when we walked in and the owner was sitting there picking his ear! The waitress lady was nice but the food was horrid and we all felt sick afterwards. This place was recommended by a friend and now I have to murder her! STAY AWAY!
