Volcano Grill & Mai Tai Bar
31Jul09Another successful restaurant by the one and only Billy Quon (of Bahama Billys and Kula Ranch fame), and our new favorite. Volcano Grill & Mai Tai Bar is located in beautiful Carmel Valley Village.
Lava-tini – Pineapple juice, Cruzan Rum, Skyy Vodka and a dash of grenadine.
Drop Your Bikini Martini – Pomegranate Pearl Vodka, Absolut Citron vodka, dash guava and sweet & sour.
Herbie’s Kahuna Platter, a share appetizer for up to four guests, or a great dinner platter. Panko-crusted Jumbo Prawns, Volcano Spring Rolls, Black & Blue Ahi, and Kona BBQ Baby Back Ribs.
Coconut-crusted Jumbo Prawns with Rice and Fresh Veggies, served with a “Volcano” Crispy Spring Roll (Napa cabbage, carrots, celery, & mint. Served with sweet Thai chili sauce).
Caramelized Banana Cream Pie – they didn’t even wait for me to get my camera out, hehe.
Arctic Bon Bons, with dipping sauces of Kona Caramel, Macadamia Nuts, & Coconut – An instant fave.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
LALLA Grill
29Jul09Here are some pictures from our lunch at the LALLA Grill at Del Monte Center (mall) in Monterey. The place was very well lit and we liked the ’50s diner(ish) decor. I’m a sucker for booths, so I was happy. The service was good and the food was pretty good. We didn’t especially like the drinks – they weren’t bad, just different. I’m sure some people would love that though. The prices are about average for this area. We enjoyed ourselves and will definitely go back, especially when we need to kill time before a movie.
Roasted Beet and Pear Salad with Candied Walnuts and Gorgonzola
I can’t remember if that’s exactly what this salad was called, but whatever the name, it was good. The bread with the (Asiago.. I think) cheese baked in? OMG. I think I’d go to Lalla just for that.
Fish Tacos
Betty Paige Martini:
This XXX Rated martini gives you a real lift… with Russian Standard vodka, XXX Rated, Cointreau, fresh squeezed lime juice, and a splash of cranberry juice… served up with a lime wedge

Pick a sport…
Robata Grill and Sake Bar
24Jul09Here are some pictures from a trip to Robata Grill and Sake Bar at The Barnyard in Carmel. It’s possibly the worst lit restaurant in history… at least for photographs, heh. These pictures are from way back in March, so I don’t remember most of the names of the dishes – and I’m too lazy to research it. I’d say it’s a good Japanese restaurant. I think the pricing is about average for this tourist area I live in (read expensive).
Paper Lantern
Sushi Bar
Robata Menu
Bacon-wrapped Chicken
They served water with a cucumber slice – very refreshing.
Dessert
Please don’t eat me.

Sorry pie, but you were just too delicious. This is the raspberry pie that we picked up at Gizdich Ranch over the weekend.
