| Katz's Delicatessen | New York, NY | |
|
My favorite deli in California is Canter's in Los Angeles and now
my other favorite deli is Katz's in NYC! We were told we had to go
there while in NY so we did and we weren't disappointed. Corned
beef on rye was great, as well as everything else we had. I recommend
it highly if you are in NYC and want to go to a good old fashioned Jewish
Deli.

| Atlantis Casino-Resort | Reno, NV | |
|
This hotel was very close to Circus Circus where we were staying, so
we gave it a try for dinner. The buffet was excellent. Seafood lovers
must go. The variety was great, service (water, etc) was super. This
buffet was much better than the one we had at Circus Circus.

| The Keg Steakhouse & Bar | London, ON | |
|
Was just here in August, 2006. Main reason for going was to see Niagara
Falls lit up at night, but the table we got did not give us the view we thought
we'd have. This is a great steakhouse, nice portions, good service.
We had to wait over an hour for a table, and the restaurant itself is rather
noisy. My steak came well done when I ordered it rare, so they were very
nice about taking it back and bringing me a whole new order. They also
deducted half the price of the entree from the bill. The food was good,
but not worth waiting over an hour for.

| Giordanos | Chicago, IL | |
|
Oh my gosh! We were told to go here if we ever got to Chicago and I'm
so glad we went. The pizza is to die for! This is the best stuffed pizza
we have ever eaten. We ordered two small pizza's for 3 people and
they would have fed 6 people with some left over. The stuffed pizza is
about 3 inches high, loaded with cheese and the best sauce you have ever
tasted. No wonder everyone said you MUST go to Giordanos if you go to
Chicago. I'd go back just for the pizza!

| Roxy Delicatessen | New York, NY | |
|
Wow..what a great deli and restaurant. We went there twice. Once for
lunch and once for dessert. The sandwiches are huge and great, but the
best thing about this place is the desserts. I had chocolate fudge layer
cake (a bit expensive) but to die for! I ate it over a period of three days
it was so huge. The person I was with had cheesecake and it was the best
NY Cheesecake we had on this whole trip. It's right in Times Square
which is fun too! I really do recommend this place.

| Dallas BBQ | New York, NY | |
|
Went here because we were walking by it. It's ok, not great. I ordered
half a chicken which came with fries. The person I was with ordered the
ribs. The portions are rather large here. The coleslaw was enough for
2 people as well as the fries and I could not even finish the chicken.
It reminded me of fast food, but a step above.

| 99 Restaurant | Albany, NY | |
|
Took another trip to Albany in August this year and went back to 99 to
give it another try. This time I had another steak, was good, but not
the best I've had. The sides were canned corn (not so great) although
I was told the mashed cauliflour was great. The service is extremely
friendly and there is ample parking, which makes it a nice place to go.

| The Keg Steakhouse & Bar | London, ON | |
|
Great restaurant, but I don't think it rivals some of the better
steak houses in San Francisco. Service is friendly, portions adequate.

| Romano's Macaroni Grill | Rochester, NY | |
|
This place is great. We happened on it while driving cross country from
SF to NY. The best eggplant parmesean I've had in years. The service
was friendly and efficient. The bread tasted fresh baked and we could
not get enough. They pour your first glass of house wine and then leave
the bottle on the table, trusting you to tell them how many more glasses
you have had. I'm hoping this restaurant is out west because I want
to go again.

| Michael Brother's Steakhouse | Reno, NV | |
|
We went here on the recommendation of someone at the front desk of our
hotel. He did not steer us wrong. The steaks rivaled the best in SF and
the service was excellent. If we happen to be in Reno again we'd
definitely go back.

| Garage Restaurant & Cafe | New York, NY | |
|
This restaurant is in Greenwich Village. We happened upon it while
walking down the street looking for somewhere to sit outside and watch
the people. I think we ordered the wrong things and the service was very,
very slow. We had two drinks, one of which was an iced tea, and two appetizers..coconut
shrimp (5 of them), and chicken quesadillas (4 small triangles) and
the cost, without tip was $38.57. It was way over priced for what you
got, but then again, it was Greenwich Village and it was a lovely setting.
We will not go back as there are so many other places to go while there.
That $10 to $15 prices is for the appetizers.

| Ruby Tuesday Restaurant | Minneapolis, MN | |
|
Went here while shopping in the Mall of America. I had the mini burgers
and the salad bar. The salad bar here is not very interesting, having
only the standard things you'd expect on a salad bar. The mini burgers
are like fast food burgers, well done, not great. I doubt I'd return
to a Ruby Tuesdays again.

| Johnny Rockets - Reno Hilton | Reno, NV | |
|
Was here a year ago and back again. It's a typical Johnny Rockets
with the same menu as every other one. The food is good, not great, but
good. The casinos in Reno are always busy so this is a good place to go
and grab a quick, inexpensive bite.

| Outback Steakhouse | Cheyenne, WY | |
|
Driving cross country we wanted to try some different places to eat,
but opted for Outback here. It's the same as all the others, good
food, pretty good service. I don't think it's as good as some
of the better steak houses we have in SF, but the food never disappoints.
You get what you think you are getting and it's always satisfying.

| Skylon Tower | Niagara Falls, ON | |
|
The thing you pay for here is the view of Niagara Falls, not necessarily
the food, although it was good, it was not exceptional. Service was
very good though. If you are in Niagara Falls this is the place to go,
but you don't have to eat here, you can just go and see the view.

| Chick N Coop | Daly City, CA | |
|
There is another Chick N Coop in San Francisco which also has great chicken,
turkey, roast beef, but it's more along the lines of a fast food
place, even though it's not. It reminds me of a Boston Market, but
I think the chicken here is better and so are all the meats. You have a
good choice of sides, which are also ok. Parking on Mission Street is
not always easy, but we have never had a problem finding a space. I've
never eaten in this place, don't want to, but stop and take things
home on occasion for dinner.

| King Wah Restaurant | Daly City, CA | |
|
I do not like this restaurant. It has been a staple in Westlake for as
far back as I can remember, and the two times we have gone there over the
last 30 years have both been very disappointing. Seems the place is
always crowded, but each time we went the food was either burnt or tasted
awful. There is another great Chinese restaurant in Daly City called
Jade Dragon and I'd recommend that one highly, but this one, skip.

| 99 Restaurant | Albany, NY | |
|
Just had occasion to go to this restaurant while in Albany this last
week. The place is a chain, but I did not know that at the time. The food
is good, and the service was efficient and friendly. Two people were
in our party and we both had steaks, cooked perfectly. The side dishes
were good also. We plan on going back in a couple weeks when we are in New
York again.

| Houlihan's Restaurant | Albany, NY | |
|
This is a chain and not a very good one as far as I am concerned. The food
is ok, but not great. We had a salad and chicken, but neither was outstanding.
I think this place is a step above the food court here, but it's not
worth going to again. Service is ok, but also not exceptional.

| Uncommon Grounds | Albany, NY | |
|
I'm with the other folks. Just was visiting Albany and happened
upon this place as it was near our hotel, but we prefer Brueggers bagels
to the bagels here. The coffee and tea are fine here, but we wanted bagels
and were disappointed.
