Have you been to The Avenue down by the WOB in downtown? That's an awesome burger joint too.
Damn, we just walked past that place a couple of weekends ago on our way to Red Mesa. It was packed and I really thought about trying it out, but an overpriced/undersized margarita was consuming my thoughts. I'll have to give it a shot.
Try it, it's worth it. The burgers are huge and the sweet potato fries are awesome. Good drink specials too.
I'll have to check that out. We went to Locale a month or so ago and I was unimpressed. I have also been wanting to try out Il Ritorno. My wife group up in the same neighborhood in Seminole with the Owner/Exec. Chef and the place has gotten phenomenal reviews.
I ordered from The Avenue on 727foodnow once, but haven't actually been. Haven't been to 3 daughters either but I like some their beer. That place is almost in the hood, I was surprised they chose that location.
That's great to hear about Il Ritorno. Trust me, anymore I don't think we go anywhere where we can't make reservations. After having kids, the days of waiting in line with a buzzer are long behind us. Especially on date nights when the clock is ticking with a babysitter.
These rules you have for eating are truly ridiculous. This isn't Applebees- it's the best chicken dish in the area.
My wife and I walked into Sea Salt after having wine and the charcuterie at Locale. The Sea Salt menu looked good, but I could hardly hear myself think as we did a lap around the bar. I get the reason why restaurants these days want to keep the noise level a little higher than they used to, but sometimes it's just ridiculous. All that said, my wife and I are mid-30's, so it's not like we're "back in my day" old codgers - we just like to be able to have a conversation when we're at dinner. Maybe we'll give it a shot when it's a little earlier in the evening.
Other than 85's comment about the high price of salmon at one particular restaurant, who said anything about how much we pay for food? Speaking of how much is paid for food, didn't you recently chime in that you buy your meat from Whole Foods? It doesn't get much more expensive than that for meat from a grocer.
Yes, but Red Mesa doesn't give you cotton candy at the end of your meal.*
