Dining in Davis: Cindy’s Restaurant

Whenever I see a restaurant named after someone, it makes me wonder if that person actually exists. Did the owner just arbitrarily choose a name for the restaurant that's easier to pronounce than his real name? That's probably what I would do.

In any case, I thought I'd finally give Cindy's a try after passing it up so many times on the freeway. Judging by the flower décor and color scheme of the sign - yellow, red and green - I figured it was probably a diner. All other details about the restaurant, though, were as mysterious to me as that Milk Farm Restaurant sign off Interstate-80.

Dining in Davis: Fins Market & Grill

They have good seafood in the Northeastern United States. I know this fact because my dad is from New York. He loved eating seafood in New York - almost as much as he loves complaining about how seafood here stinks because it's not from New York.

Last time I checked, Davis isn't in the Northeast - unless you're in Hawaii, in which case you have better things to do than keep reading this. Regardless of where you are, the fact of the matter is I'm not in the Northeast.
