Review Writing Gold Star

The Boy and I were browsing Urbanspoon for a new place to try when we stumbled across this hilarious review. Jim Penny sent in a mobile review describing Danny's Bar-B-Que:
I wouldn't bother for my own purposes, but if I'm entertaining really dull people, they're at risk to be taken there.
We've not tried Danny's BBQ, but that is an amazingly descriptive review!

Salute is closed!

Salute is closed!



Oh no! The Boy and I really enjoyed our evening at Salute, and we were looking forward to going again, but this is what we saw when we arrived last night.

There's also a notice about renting the space, so it's not just closed for renovations. We're very sad to see Salute go!

Wasabi

107 Edinburgh South Dr
Cary, NC 27511
(919) 460-7980
www.wasabicary.com

It's the Girl here with a Boy-less review! I discovered Wasabi mostly because it's in the same complex as Casa Margarita.

The Boy is not usually interested in Asian food. We'll have it from time to time, but I could eat sushi every day. I visited Wasabi with a friend, who could also eat sushi everyday. We really enjoyed the bamboo decor and peaceful ambiance, and like the best of Cary restaurants, inside Wasabi feels like it's far, far away from the outside's stripmall parking lot. Our waiter was friendly, offering to answer any questions we had, and drink refills came quickly.

The actual food is, well, sushi. There are no mind-blowing texture and flavour combinations, but Wasabi offered a solid selection of fresh veggie and fish rolls, all the basics, presented well. There were plenty of vegetarian options, which seems to be pretty typical of sushi places, but I don't eat a lot of meat, so I always like to see it. (I have been talked into accompanying the Boy to a steakhouse, now and again, but I usually perfer lighter fare)

Overall, I enjoyed our meal and our drinks, and I'd go there again, but I don't know if it's you-need-to-try-this-now good. Decent prices for nice sushi, and a good time with my friend.
