O3 BISTRO & LOUNGE
BRENDA’S FRENCH SOUL FOOD
PHILLZ
Going to the Opera? O3 Bistro & Lounge is the perfect place to get your pre-show meal. Some of my favorite dishes are the Braised Pork Shoulder and Petaluma Fried Chicken. Service is great and the prices are reasonable. Getting off work and you need a drink? O3’s bar has happy hour between 4PM-7PM and serves a nice collection of contemporary and signature cocktails such as the Wasabi Bleeding Mary, Sakeflower and Desert Heat. I’m a scotch kind of guy, so you will find me there sipping on Macallan.
One of my favorite spots for a traditional Creole breakfast. If calories are not a concern, you will find some of the richest, flavorful food with French style and New Orleans soul. The owner is a New Orleans native, Brenda Buenviaje, and her breakfast food is strongly influenced by Southern cooking with a French technique. Word to the wise -- prepare to wait on a Sunday morning!
I absolutely love Phillz Coffee. Since they make the coffee one cup at a time it takes a little longer but it is well worth the wait. My favorite is the Iced Mint Mojito- the refreshing mint compliments the creamy coffee. It is simply the best way to get your day started!
