Friday reviews etc.
Another Friday, another pair of reviews of places I've yet to visit.
Elaine Lehman made her way out to Grand Terrace to try Bonello's New York Pizza.
She got more than she bargained for when she ordered the lunch special.

On the dinner side, David Cohen reviews Riverside's Restaurant Omakase.
He gives it five stars out of five.
Looking at the current menu on their Web site, most of it sounds incredible:
Let's do the math...let's see...carry the 5...that's a $95 dinner! Wow.
For me, that would be a once-in-a-decade treat.
There is a bright side, however. For us cheapskates, David writes that the restaurant has been offering a special tasting menu on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of the month.
Courses during the special tasting are only $10 and $5 for the wine pairing. For a three-course meal (the minimum), that's only $45, and down to a paltry $30 if you forgo the wine.
Hmm...that's within reach. Pity we've got to wait nearly a month for the next one!
