Claire's on Cedros

Claire's is a LEED Platinum certified building and green restaurant. That means that they use sustainable building practices, they recycle, and have no plastic containers.  

I had pancakes. They were fluffy and very good.  They had lemon on them -- I'm sure you can get lemon on the side. I want you to go to this restaurant.  They serve breakfast and lunch.         


Notes from Phineas:  They have really good pancakes.  They had cinnamon in them.  I also liked the breakfast sausages.  I liked the edible landscaping and the solar power. 
                                                     

Local Habit

This is a restaurant with style. Most of the wood is reclaimed.   It is a very green restaurant. 
So, now let's cut to the chase:  IT IS VERY GOOD!!  Very green and all locally sourced ingredients.
I got pasta with Enoki and Oyster mushrooms, walnuts and cheese.  It was a textural explosion!   We shared a pizza with chicken sausage and pickled zucchini with a thin crust.

We had very good customer service.

Notes from Phineas:  My and sister and I got a very good Mac and Cheese made with Gouda.  I like how the cheese was crisp on top.  I liked how the water cups were actually jars and the lamps were made out of old beer bottles.

Harar Ethiopian food

A very good restaurant,  but I have not had Ethiopian food before so I have nothing to compare to this type of food to.  There are meat and veggie dishes. It is like Indian food. I got a lamb dish and my brother got a veggie, cabbage, potato and green beans dish.  You eat with your hands and with a special type of bread like a giant crepe, called enjira.   Some of it is spicy, but not all of it.  The veggies were very good!
