Fontana Sushi

I hadn't been to Fontana Sushi in awhile and David was looking for something different in Littleton, so we bypassed Sushi Basho for Fontana Sushi on a Friday night. To our surprise there was quite a wait....about 30 minutes....but we got our place at the sushi bar and sat down to order. Given how crowded and busy it was, the service was a little slow. We waited about 10 minutes for our large Sapporos-- by the time they came our Miso soup (a little lacking in flavor) was almost complete. But it was all made up for with our efficiently served rolls and sushi. The Yellow Maki was very good. The Spicy Tuna a little spicy for my taste. And then we had this roll with spicy white tuna with ponzu sauce mixed in--a nice, tasty find on the back of the menu. The yellow tail sushi and white tuna sushi were also both very good. Overall, nice little place to have dinner on a Friday night and the wait gave us a good excuse to walk through Cost Plus and browse the furniture section.

Mad Greens

Your should go here if you meet one of two conditions:
1) You like salads
2) You don't like salads

If the former, this place will make all your latent salad dreams come true. If the latter, it will turn you into the former. Take it from me....I've shown up with FOUR developers who eat things like hamburgers and chickens wings for lunch and make grimacing faces about the idea of going to a salad place. Half of them bail and order a panini (I hear these are good, I have never bothered). The other half suck it up and order a salad--this half never looks back. The salads are so damn good you crave healthiness.

For a truly healthy twist go for the green papaya dressing. It's orange, but naturally fat free and absolutely delightful. Don't be afraid to build your own or ask for exactly what you want. Ignore the expensive add-ins, especially the citrus chicken as it is way to dry to enlighten your taste buds. Smile to the cute guy at the cash register. He will smile back each and every time.

Breakfast King

After a long night of drinking, a pub crawl to be precise, David and I stopped in at Breakfast King for some much needed food--we hadn't eaten since 5 p.m. the night before, and drowned that small amount of food down with multiple beers. Now it was 11 a.m. and we were starving. But also very hungover. This place was perfect. We sat in an L-shaped booth and it was tempting to just lay down and wait for the food to come. I had a veggie omelet. Very good. The tomatoes were served on top and really not worth the effort. The mushrooms and cheese really made this dish. David had the corned beef and hash and reported it to be good. The waitress was a little snappy--making me feel guilty for asking what the soup of the day was (and I never did find this out!) The place was decorated with a lot of harsh orange which just added to the charm. All-in-all I can't wait to go back...;-) (this would be a great place for a late night stop.)
