A nice addition to Jensen Beach area A much needed Chinese Restaurant was needed in the Jensen Beach area. Hot Wok surpasses my expectations. This restaurant is easy to find as it is in the Winn Dixie Plaza. Originally from New Orleans via China, Tracy and her husband have remodeled the entire place making it a very pleasant eat-in experience.…
Closest resort to Downtown Disney, the pool area is exceptional Having stayed in many of the Buena Vista Drive hotels, we found it refreshing to finally stay here. This is a nice alternative to your Hilton and Hyatt resorts. Finding a great deal on-line we took a chance and booked here. We are glad we did.We were upgraded to a…
The Best Chinese Food in the area, period Having visited 46 of 50 states and having traveled to 35 countries, I have eaten my share of Chinese food. China Star stands out as one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. First, the consistency of the food is outstanding. China Star is true to the recipes. The pork fried rice, for example,…
You will not see a sign to his grave site. There is a sign on the main road that reads “PALAPALA HO’OMAU Congregational Church.” Turn left here! Since our last visit in 2012, the road to the cemetery has been re-paved! The ruts and pot-holes are no more. Also, the ranch on the right is for sale. It was a…
A slice of Americana, well worth a visit It would be rare to find a museum so close to the ocean, but the new refurbished Elliot Museum is a jewel for South Florida, the Treasure Coast and Martin County. It is a slice of Americana and a treat to see. The museum is attributed to the late 19th and early…

There is no question that the original location in Ybor City has abundance of history and character. Focusing mainly on Spanish and Cuban dishes, this restaurant has been here…
Where the locals eat Not on the main street of Duval, this place is easy to miss, but hard to forget. After visiting Key West many times, a local told us about El Siboney. A unique Cuban restaurant exists on 900 Catherine Street, a few blocks east of south Duval Street. El Siboney is tucked into a neighborhood. It is…
Fun Time My friend recommended Tigertail Airboat Tours as it was his third time with the company. We had just visited “Shark Valley” via the National Park Service which is a few miles west of Tigertail Airboat Tours. We did try to call for a reservation at 305-439-2745, but there was no response. But, we stopped anyway and got right…
Three may keep a secret, if two are quiet Our first “experience” with a Roy’s Restaurant was on the Big Island of Hawaii. We were happily surprised to see one located in Orlando, Florida along Sand Lake Road. They are well known for cooking from scratch and making delicious meals based on a Pacific Rim theme, or as Roy’s calls…
One of the Most Popular Restaurants in Waikiki If you walk by this restaurant on a nightly basis, you will see why this Cheesecake is the busiest in their long list of restaurants. There is always a crowd of people waiting to be seated. We like to eat at lunch where there is a cheaper “lunch menu.” Also, we go…
