What's your favorite restaurant?
 

For fine dining - I like the Del Frisco's Double Eagle Steakhouse in Denver, Colorado (there are others I'm sure are just as good.)

For grazing - I like the Pappas' family restaurants - Pappasitos, Pappadeauxs, etc.

Only one?

Icon Grill in Seattle.

Rosebud, Bob Chins, Heaven on Seven (owned by a friend of mine) in Chicago. Sneaky you like Pappadeux you'd love Heaven on Seven...

If you ever get to Tampa, go to Burns Steakhouse. You will be impressed.

The DFAC at Camp Mackall, or the one at SFUWO, Key West.

Conroy Grill, Schofield Barracks. This was an AAFES facility, but when you walked in you saw a typical glass door refer unit that most stores put beer and soda in, this one had sides of beef hanging in it. The best burgers I ever had, the best breakfast ever(the sausage was unfriggin real), and the best pizza I ever had outside of NY. Those ladies could cook in that place.

"The Fort" in Morrison CO (outside of Denver). Great Buffalo Steaks.

Also ANY Itailian Resturants in Chicago.

The Claim Jumper.

In Fayetteville: Bella Villa

The Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton Buckhead here in Atlanta. Hands down the best restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating at.


Mortons of Chicago for steaks and OUTSTANDING wine selection.


Best Mexican--Miguels in Coronado on Orange Ave, best Mexican food I have ever eaten.


Corfu and Rhodes Greece, best Gyros on the planet.

Almost forgot .....Carmines on 42nd and Broadway in New York City, best Italian food I have ever eaten.

Hmmm...I don't know the name of it, but it was a restaurant in Stockholm that served me the first real meal I had after taking the train from Beijing to St. Petersburg. Best food I ever ate.

Best shwarma ever is at Bahrain House near the souk.

But for overall fine dining it a tie between L'Espalier in Boston's Back Bay or whatever Ritz my cousin is working at at the time.

Excellent choice...but next time try Gibson's. Simply fabulous.

Good picks
 

Gypsy, I like your choices.

When I'm in Chicago, I make it a point to go to Rosebud (awesome fusilli ala carbonara), Gibsons (for steak of course and you gotta like their dessert portions:eek: ), and Carsons (for ribs, the outstanding potatoes au gratin, and the Chocolate Blackout cake) . Getting hungry just thinking about it!

Mastro's---Scottsdale, AZ best filet I have EVER had. Shrimp thicker than my thumb, longer than my middle finger
and tender as warm butter.

Ghostrider...you had to bring up the desserts didn't you? :D Seems we have the same tastes! Carson's is great but there is another place...as soon as I can remember the name I'll post or pm you. It's awesome...their baby back ribs are finger lickin' good!

Dos Amigos - Melbourne FL.

Couldn't tell you anything about the food, other than they
have some. The Tequila is great :D

Heading to a Tequila tasting event this week. 100 different kinds.
Wonder if I will remember any of them?

Mmm tequila! Maybe they'll have a program or "menu"? Would look forward to hearing more...if you remember that is. :D
