Short on time but craving quality? Beginning 2026, Burger & Lobster will be your fast, flavorful errand-day fix.

Mom Violy had been craving lobster but was hesitant to try dining at Burger & Lobster. She mentioned the restaurant to a family member, who said the food was delicious but pricey. She told Carmina she wanted to eat there for lunch on Saturday, January 3rd. Since it was the new year, we decided to explore and try something different. Many tables had reservations, but they also accepted walk-ins, just like we did today. Our server handed us the menu. Carmina already knew what she wanted to order: BBQ Beef Ribs for 1,190 pesos ($20.17). Mom Violy and a family member decided to share the Combo One at B&L for 5,290.00 pesos ($89.66), along with garlic rice for 90.00 pesos ($1.53). A family member ordered an Atomic Burger for 695.00 pesos ($11.78) along with a Lobster Mac & Cheese for 990.00 pesos ($16.78). One of the perks of everyone ordering something different is getting to sample each other’s dishes. Everyone left happy and full, with some leftovers to take home. The port...

Carmina's Review on Wine Tasting at Laird Family Estate



Catalina had planned a surprised for Carmina for her visit to Napa Valley over the weekend. 

All through my life I've never experience a real wine tasting with your best friend often seen in social media from friends you've known for a long time.

Sometimes we don't get those invitation we see from friends who have real buddies to hang out doing what they call relaxation by unwind yourself enjoy the wine savoring the appetizers that blends well with what type of wine you have in your glass.

Catalina had reserved at Laird Family Estate in which she has a relative Ezra Chavez currently working there to explain us what type of wines available for us to try.

  1. Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio Sonoma-Carneros
  2. Napa Valley Sauvignon Blac
  3. Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay Sonoma-Carneros
  4. Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
  5. Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir
  6. Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley
  7. Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 
Carmina's Review:

Cold Creek Ranch Pinot Grigio Sonoma-Carneros from the wine can be deceiving thinking it is water in a glass but when you try savoring it has a floral with fruity taste.



Carmina had liked this one the best out of the remaining wines she had tasted.

Napa Valley Sauvignon Blac



Carmina didn't like it being strong aroma from the first sip.

Cold Creek Ranch Chardonnay Sonoma-Carneros there is a strong texture where the butterscotch lingers in your palate.



Ezra's Recommended which is his favorite the Red Hen Ranch Chardonnay, Oak Knoll District.


Phantom Ranch Pinot Noir has a berry taste.


Jullian's Red Wine Blend, Napa Valley is a complex dark plum that was too strong for Carmina.



Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was too strong.



What really blends together with your wine is different type of cheese, crackers, dried fruits, nuts, infused salami and chocolate.


Carmina is grateful for Catalina for her treat and giving me a chance to write about my experiences.

Everyone has different palates so go based on what you prefer based on your own preferences.
