After writing this up I gotta mention I'm a pretty picky eater, haha.

I would avoid Il Fornaio, been there 4 times (once by choice) and it was a letdown every time. Even simple stuff like a basic pasta is very bland.

Be Right Burger I prefer over The Counter, I got burned out on The Counter pretty quick, but keep coming back to BRB.

Uncle Julios/Rio has decent tacos, I never liked anything else + noisy, smelly place.

Jacksons is part of that American Family resaurant chain (coastal flats), which I've never really been a fan of, though I do like Coastal Flats beers.

Mortons has an awesome lobster bisque, but their steaks I don't find as good as Ruth's, though still delicious.

Market Street bar and grill has a small menu, but everything is good on it.

Passionfish is very good, I had flounder there that was amazing. They are pretty snobby though.

Mon Ami Gabi has decent steak, their fries are pretty good.

Vapianos is ok, imo takes way too long though.

Pretty sure everyone knows about McCormick and Schmick, great place. M&S across the street isn't that great.

Never had a good experience at Paolo's.

American tap room is great, never been disappointed there.

Obi Sushi is not bad, pretty average imo, same with their buffet.

UNO's is by far my least favorite place there. Always received terrible service, I have boycotted that place.

Everyone seems to love Big Bowl. I think it is not good, I usually just stick to something that sounds normal or eat a bunch of potstickers. From what I remember they have a great beer selection.

I used to live right in the town center (and live super close right now) so I've ate at every place there numerous times.

^^^ pardon me would you happen to have some grey poupon in that f355 of yours ...lol nice breakdown....I've not been to many of those places there since I am pretty far away. I do like Mon Ami Gabi and McKormick & Schmick but both in DC or MD...and of course Mortons...I prefer Prime Rib in DC and some other places, i.e. Bucks Fishing and Camping. RC is always good but they butter poach instead of dry heat searing.

Thanks ! Very good stuff and i forgot to mention Be Right Burger - they are very good. I love American Tap Room and their instant brew tea (very awesome and neat presentation). I am hooked on the steak salads right now and I also get this at Jackson's - their Waldorf salad.

But you have given me some idea's and incentive for Passion Fish.

I am just waiting for Ray's or Don Shula to open up near there

Loay

St4rk's writeup is awesome! And spot on, but I think Rio has a lot of other good stuff on the menu. BRBurger is good but it can get expensive fast. Same goes for the Counter. Jackson's isn't the cheapest but their service is fantastic. Their menu isn't expansive but they have a French Dip on there that willl change your life... if you're okay with spending $19 on a sandwich.

Thanks for the French Dip recommendation. That sounds like a must have!

I realized that I only brought my daily which was camouflaged in with all of the daily's !

Perhaps next time. It is hard to control my schedule at the office especially if the boss is buying lunch
