We started off with their fresh bread & olive oil mix and it was fantastic. Then we moved on to the Chile Lime Shrimp appetizer with coconut rice which was amazing too. House salads were fresh and tasty. Then we moved on to the main course and had the Veal Schnitzel which was fresh breaded tender veal and carrots. We also had the Baked Short Ribs Bolognese. The short ribs tasted like they were done in a red wine base & the pasta sauce was a delicious light marinara. We finished off with a Vanilla Creme Brûlée. Everything was amazing as well as the service where the waitresses and waiters all pitch in at our table. Highly recommended!

We started with the Passionfruit Poached Shrimp Cocktail & Butternut Squash Bisque - both AWEsome! Salads were fresh, too! Main courses were Long Island Duck and Ginger & Soy Salmon - mouthwatering! Dessert was awesome as well. Atmosphere was modern, yet a bit retro - you can tell the restaurant reuses an existing building. All-in-all a 5-star experience - when back in the area, we will be sure to seek out Kevin's!

This is my kid's favorite 'fancy' place, so if it's not hibachi, we're here often; but don't let that fool your tastebuds. Quite possibly the best calamari this area has to offer (more than just breaded and fried, it's a nice shareable dish with roasted plum tomatoes, spinach, shaved parmesan, balsamic reduction and optional garlic aioli) and dare-I-say the ICONIC Orange Cognac salad. We did the Italian four course chef's dinner in February and rented an igloo for a friend's daughter's birthday earlier in the month. Both meals were excellent and we were able to order a variety of things to try since the chef's dinner offered some of their staple cocktails to pair, and the kiddos are adventurous in their food journey as well. Oh, great and friendly service as well; you can really settle in and get comfy here!

The extensive menu features a variety of brunch options, salads, and sandwiches. Their veggie options are a bit limited, but definitely present (ex: falafel salad, avocado toast), and many of the dishes feature unique combinations and homemade sauces/aiolis. I landed on the Smoked Salmon Avocado toast, which was fine. I was disappointed that it seemed to be made with prepackaged guacamole/avocado (I'm sure for cost reasons), and the bread was pretty thick so it was challenging to eat. Flavor-wise, it was solid, but I think I'll try one of the other, more creative options next time. My cousin chose their turkey sandwich and seemed to enjoy. It was large enough that she took half home! Our food arrived before our matcha lattes, so we wound up asking for to-go cups. The matcha itself was delicious, though sweeter than we anticipated (in retrospect, we should have realized that a "white chocolate lavender matcha macchiato" would be pretty sweet!).

The last time I was here I was with my dear friend Cinnamon who was and will always be my food review co-host. Ill place that video at the end of this one for you all to check out if I still have it somewhere. Ok so today I am getting as recommended the "thick & chewy" pie from my server Gabby. Now it comes plain so you have to add toppings if you want them, I added fresh garlic, onions, and bacon. This was nice and thick as stated, full of toppings. The pizza had a nice amount of cheese and sauce; the crust had a good crispy shell yet soft on the inside. This was very delicious. I did start out with a cup of loaded potato soup; this soup came out very hot and was loaded with potatoes and bacon, very creamy. My server was very energetic, and you could tell she enjoys what she does. A great job all the way around Checkerboard. Definitely you all need to come out and check out their menu.

Even the patrons there were nice! We tried the pretzel, the wings (dry rubbed with old bay and also the bourbon glazed), shepherds pie, Big Mic flatbread, and the stuffing. The pretzel was great! Slight crunch on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It came with beer mustard and beer cheese, neither of which were that impressive. I'd probably just have regular cheese sauce or yellow mustard, but it was great on its own...and it's HUGE. It took a couple of days to finish and the texture held up nicely. The wings were also very big and cooked well. All of their flavor options are for wet wings, so when I asked for dry, they offered the old bay. Both were okay flavor wise, but you definitely get a big wing for your money. Sadly, the 2 signature items we got (the sheperds pie and the Big Mic flatbread) were very underwhelming. The pie tasted like it had instant mashed potatoes on top and lacked flavor throughout. The big mic had some of the flavor it was going for, but the toppings were too large (big chunks of beef and lettuce) - would maybe be better if they were cut up smaller. Also, the dough seemed too thick for this (almost like it was made on foccacia bread), a thinner curse would have been much nicer. And the side of stuffing, tasted like regular stove top (which is good), but it was very dry here. Hopefully some improvements could be made because the people were so great.

Welcome to the Friday pizza night everyone. Tonight, I am back at a place where you would not really think of getting a pizza. There is a place in Kingston Pa located on Pierce Street called Tirado's Pizza & Mexican Grill. Now a while back I stopped here and tried one of their Mexican dishes, Ill link that video below. Now who would of thought, I didn't, Boy was I impressed, this pizza was really delicious, reminded me of the pizza that I would get years ago back in the 80's, that's how good I thought this was. Now I walked in and grabbed a seat, I was greeted in a welcoming manor where the young man took my drink order as well as bring you some complimentary chips with homemade salsa. The pizza sauce to tasted like a traditional more then a sweet sauce. I would recommend everyone to try this place out. Their menu has something for just about everyone. I will be back to try some more dishes, thank you to the staff here at Tirado's for a great dining experience.
