<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Gaffney's has found a new home!!!!! Well its not totally new but it was "news" to me. Gaffney's was in the Encinitas Lumberyard for years. A couple of years ago we were there and Robert mentioned they were moving. I was flabbergasted. What? NO! We love Gaffney's! He said they were looking for a new location and everything would all work out. I never did find out where they moved to. :-(</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>*<br />
Two years later Im out for a girls night of holiday shopping and dinner with Keir </strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>and I see the "Gaffney's" sign. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! </strong></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>They are located in the Kohl's shopping center at the corner of Encinitas Blvd and El Camino Real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Such a nice little spot. Very cozy and quaint. Robert and Donna are still there every night and make you feel as if you are enjoying a glass of wine at home. They know everything about wine and more than I could have ever imagined about cheese as well. </strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>The evenings start early at Gaffney's. They have a fantastic menu and whats unique about this wine bar is they have kept it very homey. No fancy gold plated menus and no stuffy crowds. Its a real wine bar with hand written menus that change daily. Robert has been asked a million times why dont you have your menus printed? He simply replies, "Because I dont want to thats why". ha ha </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>I love it! </strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Donna makes the salads and the cheese selection they carry are all from local farmers.

I was in the worst mood! I know I know.....its Saturday, how could I be in a bad mood? But I was. It was hot out and all I wanted to do was hang in town and go to the beach but I had an event up in the mountains where it was going to be even hotter! Luckily we went to Lofty Bean and all my irritability was swept away. This is such a great spot! Right on the corner of HWY 101 just north of Encinitas Blvd. </strong></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> Luckily for us we live in Encinitas. So a lil' bike ride to Union Kitchen & Tap is just what the doctor ordered. We love UNION KITCHEN! The first time we tried it out was the evening of the soft opening. We were with our friend Howard and we were looking for a place to have a drink. We were on our way to Cardiff and saw the old When In Rome that had been under construction for months finally had a name and was OPEN!!!!! We knew we picked the right spot as we were parking because all we could see were people laughing, talking and cheering their beers. The front of the restaurant faces HWY 101 directly across from Hansens Surf Shop. The windows are practically from floor to ceiling and the tables are right at the window. It was packed! People everywhere. We got in and sat down at a table. Breeze blowing in and up walks an old friend of Phil's, Jim Hurley! He manages the place. Jim told us the background of the design and the plans for the restaurant. We couldn't wait to tell friends & family all about our new find. Fast forward to just about every other weekend. Now we take a bike ride to Union Kitchen & Tap all the time. Seating is family style. Long tables with bar stools so everyone has to get friendly quickly. We like to sit in the booth and people watch but even the booths are family style so everyone scoots in and get acquainted. </span></strong></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Giovanni's Italian Restaurant and Sandwich Shop has been around since Phil and I were kids. We would walk from Moonlight or D Street after a long day at the beach and order sub sandwiches. As a kid the best thing about Giovanni's was it was casual. You walk in, sandy and tired from a long day in the sun, and Vito would greet us with a loud italian voice "WHAT CAN I GET FOR YOU"....We loved it! We felt like it was our very own families dining table. Now that we are adults we still love the same thing about Giovanni's and nothing has changed about the place since we were kids. We took Phil's dad Carmine, his brother Marty and his nephew Anthony to Giovanni's on Saturday for lunch. It was sunny and warm and Vito pushed a couple of tables together for us and we sat and people watched while we waited for our food. Like most of the restaurants in Encinitas the seating outside is along the sidewalk. People walk by with their dogs, their children, kids skateboard by and now and again you get people who dont know better cruising their bikes on the sidewalk. If you're from Encinitas you're used to this. If you're not it can seem a little annoying. But dont be annoyed. Just kick back and smile as people go by. Its pretty enjoyable. When we were there on Saturday we had several people on bikes go by and they were all dressed for a 70's costume party. Ya just dont see that type of thing everyday so like I said...........Kick back and enjoy the view. Its pure entertainment! </strong></span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>A few minutes went by and our food arrived. Three of us had Philly Steak subs, Phil had the Chicken Parmesean sub and Marty had the all time classic MEATBALL SUB. Everything was delicious. Not a lick of food was left between the five of us. We all had sandwiches but Giovanni's is more than a sub shop. Vito offers pizzas, pastas, salads and desserts. If you dont see it on the menu I betcha Vito will make it for you so just ask! </strong></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"><strong>We shared some fun in the sun and our ultimate goal was met. We had a great day with "la famiglia" (the family) at one of our all time favorite restaurants. </strong></span></div>
