Rosalita's Cantina

Billing itself as the one and only Tex-Mex restaurant on the Washington Avenue strip, Rosalita's serves up tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and all of the other preparations of Tex-Mex food you're familiar with as well as a special tableside preparation of guacamole. Does anyone want to split that?

Modesto Tapas Bar & Restaurant

Since we skipped this past Monday, we're going to go out next Thursday for a special Dinner Club: this year's Dining Out For Life (http://www.diningoutforlife.com/stlouis). We have 8 spots available, first-come, first-served (that means no maybes or "I'll try to make it this week"), for 7:30 pm at:

H2 Horseshoe House

What's a Horseshoe? It's a dish native to Springfield, IL: toast topped with meat, then fries, then cheese sauce. Horseshoe house promises to serve you the meal of your dreams as long as you're dreaming of a Horseshoe (chicken, turkey burger, mushroom, steak, hamburger, shrimp, fish and chips, and veggie burgers are options, though they do have a few other selections for those not ready to hoof down a Horseshoe).

Raj's Rasoi

We haven't been to an Indian or vegetarian restaurant in ages, so that's where we're headed this Monday. As a bonus for those who like food, Raj's Rasoi won RFT's Best Vegetarian Restaurant in 2008. How can we possibly go wrong with Raj?

We've set our clocks an hour ahead, and that means dinner's moving forward to 7:30 pm.

The Bleeding Deacon Public House

Nestled between Simple Pleasures Boutique and private residences, The Bleeding Deacon "elevates bar food" (RFT, http://bit.ly/gF4jpQ). Delicious and strange twists on the usual are the norm here - like their curly dog and lemon-coriander hummus.

City Diner

This is the original City Diner location, and they serve up traditional and non-traditional diner fare. Shakes, malts, and fries make appearances alongside a Cuban sandwich and eggplant parmesan. Join us as we head to this S. Grand institution!

Al Waha Restaurant & Hookah Lounge

The last time we visited this space almost a full year ago, it was Sameem Afghan Restaurant - and, as we were informed at the time, was destined to become Al Waha. The transformation has been complete for a while, so we're going back to try out the only Bedouin cuisine you can get in the Midwest (according to the owners, anyway).

Monarch Restaurant & Wine Bar

Monarch's food as prepared by chef Josh Galliano is, in a word, amazing. If you've never been, treat yourself to a trip with our group. We'll be dining in the bistro section (which has cheaper fare), but that doesn't mean that you're restricted to just that menu. Before you reserve a spot with us - and we encourage you to do so ASAP - take a look at this article about what Monarch is doing: http://bit.ly/gJ8p4C

We're switching things up this coming week - first, we're going out on Tuesday the 18th rather than Monday, and second, we're going a place a little pricier than normal:
