delightful tastes of Tabu Grill

March 8, 2012 Mad Hungry Woman 38 Comments

What I like about Tabu Grill is its diversity. You can dress up and sit in the more “formal” dining room, or, just as easily, walk in for a casual meal and sit at the counter, or the bar-style tables.

Austin’s been meaning to get me here for a while now and we finally make it to lunch with Priscilla and Selene.

A revived taste of Claes Ovation

About Me

This blog is a journal of mostly my eating adventures, but also, other things I'm passionate about, including travel, the arts, and also, necessities to complete my life. Centered predominantly in and around Orange County, CA, some will extend to Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond. I am constantly searching for delicious food to eat and fun things to do, nothing is out of bounds. Sometimes it doesn't end well, but I can definitely say, it will always be an interesting journey.
