There’s really only one place for authentic Chinese and Thai–and that’s Big Bowl. It all begins with the highest quality ingredients–naturally raised chicken and beef, heirloom pork, sustainable seafood and produce grown locally. Because Big Bowl believes that the best food is made from scratch, you can taste big, bold layers of flavors in every dish, from the curries right down to the dipping sauces. Everyone raves about the pad Thai, our spicy dishes that are truly hot, and our create-your-own stir-fry–and for good reason. Every element adds up to big taste and takes our food to another level, be it a fresh squeeze of lime, fragrant herbs or the seared Thai chilies. Big Bowl is so big on authentic flavors that even the ginger ale is made with fresh ginger root–from scratch, of course.

I celebrated a friend's birthday at Pizzeria Lola last night and we had the most lovely time. The server, Silas, the host, and the manager all checked in to make sure our birthday dinner was going well and we felt genuine kindness from each of them. My friend and I both have quiet voices but, despite the restaurant being packed, the din was quiet enough that we never had to repeat ourselves or lean in across the table to chat (something we both value highly in a restaurant). The Caesar salad was crisp and beautifully dressed, the Forager (mushroom) pizza was robust with umami flavor, and the custard-smooth vanilla soft serve ice cream was topped with a Thai tea caramel topping that nearly reinvented ice cream as a dessert for us. Before we left, we took photos in the photo booth and we were in such high spirits that we had an audience outside interested to discover who the women snort-laughing behind the curtain had been, lol. Thank you for being such a lovely place to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend. I told Kelly that we're coming back in December to celebrate mine! <3
