OUR stomachs were already grumbling in hunger when buddy Donna picked me up for a late lunch and drove straight to Tony Roma’s in Garapan one Friday afternoon. I had always wanted to try the food at Tony Roma’s, but I thought it was pricey. If not for Donna, I would not have known that it offered $10 to $15 lunch specials. Finding a place to park even...
WHEN I got an invitation to try out Yoshoko — Miyako Japanese Restaurant’s latest offering at the Hyatt a couple of weeks ago — I said “yes!” without having any idea what to expect. – I had visions of new sushi and sashimi servings in mind, and was unprepared when I came face to face with four mouthwatering sets of “Japanized” European dishes — Western-influenced cooking that originated...

(Photos by Patrick Horton) JUST behind the Kristo Rai church in Garapan is a house which is actually a restaurant that serves a wide variety of mouthwatering Japanese, Italian and other international dishes.

Not yet conditioned to eat, I glanced idly at the lunch menu and ordered for the first thing that caught my attention from the seafood section — Fish Meuneire. My companions opted for the special $6 lunch of pork...
IF there is one dining place that gives you the feeling of being away from it all and nothing else matters but the food, it’s Sango Restaurant at the Coral Ocean Point Resort in Koblerville. Usually considered a very “out of the way” dining joint, Sango Restaurant makes up for the distance one has to drive. The ambiance alone makes it worth your while. I and two buddies...
