Restaurant #64 - Pastalli's - November 9th

After last week's fiasco, Darren managed to make a reservation for Pastalli's tonight.

It was good.

That picture of Stephane looking happy, holding his hands, was after he finished the soup, which he apparently loved.

Restaurant #63 - Mooser's - November 2nd 2012

We went to Mooser's. There was Erick, Stephan, Stephane, Mikella, Darren and I. We originally wanted to go to Pastalli's, and Darren and I had both tried calling during the day to make a reservation, but we either got a busy signal or no answer, so we decided to chance it and show up without a reservation. Turns out that didn't work, then we had to figure out somewhere else to eat. We finally settled on Mooser's in Dieppe, and to say it lightly, the restaurant left quite an impression on us all.

Now, I've eaten at Mooser's before, without complaint. However, supper didn't go all that well this time. When we got there, there were people at a few other tables but the restaurant was nowhere near full, it was pretty much empty. Either way, after we ordered, it took more than a half an hour to get our food. But, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Erick ordered a beer that came with a slice of orange on it. When he went to eat his orange slice, he noticed a staple on it. We tried to get the waitress' attention, but it didn't work, so he ended up just going up to the bar, where the girl there just said sorry, and offered him another orange slice.

When our food finally arrived, two people's sides were wrong, and one of the slices of bread on my club was burnt to a crisp. Not the black burnt kind of burnt, but the kind where you left it in a sandwich press too long and it's super crispy. Anyways, I ended up removing that piece of toast. Overall the food just wasn't that good. And, as we all found out after, if you subsitute your side of fries for a salad, it costs extra, which the waitress didn't tell us.

Anyways, when it all came to an end, I would no longer recommend Mooser's to anyone and I have no plans on returning there again.

 

 


Restaurant #62 - Saigon Thaï - October 26th

We (Stephan, Stephane, Mikella, Darren and I) went to Saigon Thaï. It's another Thaï restaurant in Moncton. The food is good, but I always feel bad for the waitresses there because the few times that I've been, there is usually only one of them there, and they're always rushing around and the customers have to wait forever for service.

Anyways, the food is good, nothing really bad to say, but when we all made our lists of the favorite Thaï restaurants in Moncton, it didn't top any of our lists. The two at the top are Vien Dong and Red Satay, however, we still haven't been to the Thaï place in Dieppe, so maybe Saigon Thaï might still have a shot for third place.

Oh yeah, the light fixtures there are awsome.

Restaurant #61 - Silvery Moon - October 19th 2012

The gang went to Silvery moon. The review is from Darren as are the pictures:

Attendees:  Mireille, Erick, Stephan, Mikella, Stephane, Darren.

I don't know why this place is so popular.  Chicken balls, salt, glowing red sweet sauce, slimy vegetables, and the Beatles as ambiance music.  At least I got to pet a nice black dog in the parking lot.
