Opened by Top Chef Canada’s winner Dale MacKay, Ensemble Tap is a gastropub serving gourmet pub food with some global influences. The food was generally very good and the prices and portions were fair which is all I ask for at a place like this.

Afternoon Tea tends to be more about the experience and I give them credit for being original with their tea infused menu, but I still wanted it to come up to the level of the tea. The tea is premium quality though and they are very knowledgeable about it.
The set up is just like a frozen yogurt shop and you can select toppings, or “Jesus droppings”, to go on top of your rice pudding. It’s rice pudding for the 21st century and it puts a modern twist to an old fashioned comfort food.

The Fat Radish is one of the hot new restaurants in New York. It’s an English inspired gastropub and this seems to be one of the trends right now. It’s basically a bar meets a restaurant with gourmet food, wine and beer and I came for their brunch.

This is an unassuming 1 Michelin Star gastropub and restaurant that is frequented by all types of chefs due to it’s food, drinks and late night hours (open until 2am daily). Although it’s considered so “last year” it was one of my New York highlights for brunch.

First, I have to clarify the difference between high tea and afternoon tea. This was called “high tea”, but it’s afternoon tea. I found more value in the ambiance and experience over the food, and all of it is important, so it was a bit give and take here.
I’m actually really happy to write this post, because Vegas is not always a budget friendly choice when it comes to dining. The Original Fulton Fish Frye in New York, New York really surprised me! Good value, good fish n’ chips and good chicken planks! Who would’ve guessed?

What?! And I thought Cloverdale was a destination point for Guy Fieri’s Diners, Drive-In’s and Dives? Well here’s a place that’s maybe even Ina Garten approved, or at least Follow Me Foodie approved. Great for high tea & scones!
