After speaking to him, I just had to see for myself what all of the excitement was about.

For starters, the dining room at the Mission Inn Restaurant has been slowly been refurbished with plush new tables and chairs, newly painted murals on the walls and on the ceiling, new plates and silverware and now, a stunning new display kitchen where all of the magnificent food is prepared fresh, for all to see.

Click here for the Full Review Qdoba Mexican Grill When I first walked into Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurant in Redlands, memories of having a terrible dining experience at a Chipotle’s popped into my head and stomach The décor and many of the food items looked the same however, once I taste the food and the sauces, it became apparent that Qdoba is by far the winner. Click here for the Full Review San Biagio's New York Style Pizza As a food critic, I have a multitude of favorite foods that I never get tired of eating, and pizza is one such item, but only if the pizza is good.

Fortunately for us, Sisley is a winner. The interior is large, the tables have nice granite table tops, and the citrus Tuscany colored walls is the perfect setting for a most memorable meal. Best of all, you usually don’t have to wait hours for a table. I like that!!!
