The Good, The Bad and The Mediocre

It's been a mixed bag of culinary experiences as we tried three different restaurants in the Slope for the first time this past week.

Earlier in the week, we headed to Scotta Ditto, between 6th and 7th on Union, and had a very bland, mediocre dinner. The food was not exceptional and the entrees were a bit pricey. Definitely not a place we would return to.

Then, on Saturday, we finally did brunch at 2nd Street Cafe on 7th Avenue. After waiting for 10 minutes (5 at the door, waiting to be seated, and 5 at our table, waiting for someone to take our order), we finally got our meal - French Toast for my wife and Eggs Benedict for me. The food was adequate but service so poor that it really turned me off and I would think twice about returning.

Last night we finally got back on the upswing in our dining experiences with a nice, low-key and overall enjoyable dinner at Blue Ribbon Sushi. We had the Maki Platter and Spider Roll with Shumai to start. All the ingredients were of outstanding quality and tasted really fresh. We ended the meal with Green Tea Creme Brulee, which too was very good. It was nice to finally have a good meal out in the Slope this week....
