| Morton's of Chicago | Washington, District of Columbia | |
|
I've eaten in a couple of Morton's and they do a nice job...but
to be honest, I would go to the Capitol Grille for steak in DC. At
least if you are looking for the dark wood, big piece of beef, yummy
wine, great service kind of place.

| Thaiphoon | Washington, District of Columbia | |
|
I was suprised at how little Thai food there seems to be in DC, but
Thaiphoon was great (despite the goofy name). Some good innovations
sandwiched around the classics. Great location and good service.

| Mondo Burrito | Seattle, WA | |
|
the portions are huge...the food's not bad...you're
downtown. It's probably not the first place I would go in
this neighborhood, but if you're craving Mexican, you could
do a lot worse.

| Rusty Scupper | Baltimore, MD | |
|
The tourists are here in droves, but it has a great view and really
excellent seafood dishes. You are paying for the location, but
as long as you can embrace that, you'll have a great time.
The blue crab was excellent.

| Haleiwa Joes Seafood Grill | Haleiwa, HI | |
|
I have nothing but fine memories of drinking rum and tonic and
watching the sunset at Haleiwa Joe's. The food is good (not
great), but honestly, who gives a &%!@? You're in Haleiwa
on the north shore - have a beautiful time.

| Gordon Biersch Brewery Rstrnt | Honolulu, HI | |
|
Well, maybe it's just me, but brew pup+Hawaii don't
really seem to goto together. If you are a tourist who is scared
of eating something that you can't get in Akron, OH, then
you might do fine here. The pub food is typical american fare -
what it lacks in creativity, it makes up for in size and fat. Aloha
tower is pretty and all, but just try a little harder to find something
interesting.

| Alan Wong's Restaurant | Honolulu, HI | |
|
It's probably one of the most famous restaurants in Hawaii
- and not without good reason. The service is excellent, the food
is skillfully executed with lovely presentation, and it's
fancy for Hawaiian standards. It all feels a little soulless
to me, but if you want a fancy meal-you'll have a nice time.

| Tony Roma's - Famous for Ribs | Honolulu, HI | |
|
I don't really have anything against Tony Roma's - I
have eaten there a couple of times...once in Hawaii and once at
another location. That being said, I would just encourage everyone
to consider supporting locally owned restaurants who strive
to create more than uncreative/big portion food. It always amazes
me how many tourists will come to a place like Hawaii with some
very interesting and affordable local cuisine and then go eat
at a chain restaurant that they can find in their local strip mall
at home.

| Chart House | Kaneohe, HI | |
|
We had our wedding reception here in 2002...I can't say enough
great things about the experience. The setting was unbelievable
- Haiku gardens is amazing. The staff was so great, the food was
wonderful - I will always remember our night here. Haleiwa Joe's
bought the restaurant though, so the name has changed (FYI).

| Acropolis Club | Portland, OR | |
|
Now, I'm not the most experienced strip club goer, but I have
been here. I have also eaten a meal here which I have not done at
any other strip club I have ever been to. It was really quite good
and I found the strippers to be above average as well.
|
||
| Mary's Club | Portland, OR | |
|
Mary's is sort of a cult classic in pdx...it seems that everyone
has been there at one point or another...I've never had any
food there, but the strippers were not bad and the gin tasted just
fine.

||
| Sweetwater's Jam House | Portland, OR | |
|
I have been here with a huge group before - it's great. We were
probably the ones making too much noise. We all got our grub and
our swerve on - and had a blast. This is a place I defy you to not have
a good time at.

| Bin 941 Tapas Parlour | Vancouver, BC | |
|
We come here every time we are in Vancouver...it is simply one
of the finest restaurants I have ever been to. It is tapas - sort
of. The menu is not especially restricted to spanish classics
and on any given night you will find a mouth watering selection
of vegetarian, seafood, and meat dishes that may make you consider
moving closer to Davie Street. The service has always been outstanding
- friendly, sexy, not pushy. The place is tiny and no reservations,
so be prepared to grab a drink elsewhere. GO GO GO already...

| Art's Family Center Restaurant | Seattle, WA | |
|
When this place still existed - it was a snapshot of americana
that is fading quickly in the new milleneum. It has been replaced
with a mammoth QFC.
|
||
| Cyclops | Seattle, WA | |
|
eclectic is the word for cyclops...the old location was a bit
of a favorite for me...the new locale seems intentionally eclectic
while the old one felt honestly that way. There's some interesting
food on the menu and great people watching. I'm still not
sure how I feel about this place.
|
||
| Dilettante Chocolates Broadway Restaurant | Seattle, WA | |
|
wonderful wonderful wonderful...intimate atmosphere + skillfully
done desserts make this place a great find on Broadway. If you
want to know a Seattle secret - go check out the Dilettante factory
store on the corner of 23rd and Cherry by Garfield High School
- same truffles at 1/2 the price.
|
||
| Grady's Montlake Pub & Eatery | Seattle, WA | |
|
above average pub food...beer...cocktails. Kind of a funny
location if you don't live in Montlake, but it is walking
distance to the UW and doesn't have the frat boys.
|
||
| Hunt Club Restaurant At The Sorrento Hotel | Seattle, WA | |
|
This is most definately NOT a mexican restaurant, but has one
of the great bars in Seattle...Mahogany, bourbon, piano bar
on the weekends. The food is meat heavy, but well done. I favor
the bar as a classy place to have a cocktail.
|
||
| Kokeb Ethiopian Restaurant | Seattle, WA | |
|
agree w/ general sentiments already expressed...one of the
oldest, but not the best ethiopian in Seattle. overpriced, hit
or miss service. You'd probably do better elsewhere
|
||
| Olympia Pizza & Spaghetti House | Seattle, WA | |
|
it's a seattle institution...the pizza is above average
and you'll definately have fun. Best pizza on Queen Anne.
45th location is a little more sterile, but still not bad.
