My wife and I racked our brains the other day on where to go and finally went all the way to the Del Rey section of Alexandria. There ain't nothing around here close to where we ate, Cheesetique. Look it up. Been there many times and it's incredible. Tara Thai had it's time and was ok at the start. But it's been there and done that. Not nearly interesting enough and will close. Trust that.
