Chef Jim Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow, I've done a lot of research over the years so this is tough, but I'd like to break it down into three categories: Low End/Family - Theatre Restaurant in Attica. My dad's place in the 70's and 80's. Just a bit biased. Mid Level - Whiffenpoof (weird name) in Miami. First nice restaurant I took my wife too. Sometimes it's about the company and not food or service. Hight End - Aqua in the St. Regis in Dana Point. Hope to change this to the French Laundry later this year.

truth on hold Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Cataract City native? DiCamillo's Bakery for Dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 DiCamillo's Bakery for Dessert! DiCamillo cheesecake... Yum. (I grew up in NF,NY - and my grandmother actually lived right across the street from a small DiCamillo - since gone - on 20th street. We used to get fresh bread all the time from there). For me, Khan's Mongolian Barbeque is the best. It's a stir fry where you go up and put your food in a bowl (they have a ton of meats/seafood, vegetibles, two types of noodles, etc), you pour the spices you want on at the end, and then you hand it to a chef to cook for you. Get back to your table and the waitress has brought rice and these little biscuits with hot honey and sesame seeds in the middle. Yummy. If you're a pig, you can go up for seconds during dinner, but I'm such a regular I can stack the food quite high with only one trip through CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMadCap Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Won"t repaet what is in the tipping thread, but by far for me the French Laundry. Next In Order 1) Inn at Little Washington 2) Per Se in NYC 3) Mini Bar in DC 4) Citronelle in DC 5) Gordon Ramsey Claridge London 6) Picaso at Bellagio Las Vegas 7) Millies in Richmond VA Millies gets major negative points for being damn near impossible to get inside the building, as there are only three tables in the place...

Simon Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Some joint a block or two off Bourbon down in the French Qrtr. Best lunch/dinner I ever had. Couldn't find it again with a map and a compass but maybe if I led off with another dozen whiskey and cokes I'd stumble into it again......

In space no one can hear Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm feeling like I haven't been out much to fancy places. But...I am a camping/ outdoor guy. My best meals have been off the chuckwagon and eaten under the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Some joint a block or two off Bourbon down in the French Qrtr. Best lunch/dinner I ever had. Couldn't find it again with a map and a compass but maybe if I led off with another dozen whiskey and cokes I'd stumble into it again...... I'm sure I've eaten there and five other places just like it. Like you, I couldn't pick any of them out without being pickled from a trip to Patty O's first. For whatever reason, I'll take the prime rib at the Conesus Inn over anything I've had anywhere on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
