Um....probably Ryan Duffy's. No, wait. The birmingham. No, wait. There is one in greenwich village I absolutely loved.

See recent survey about the same subject to see my answer: http://surveycentral.org/survey/8419.html

I have many favorite restaurants, if I'd have to chose one, it would be Chez Michel in Marseille.

Anyone which will serve me.

I've never been to one.

Almost any Japanese restaurant.

Oh, don't get me started!
Steak-Diamond Grille, a hole in the wall in downtown Akron, but the best steaks around!
Seafood-Joe's Crab Shack
Mexican-Chi-Chi's
Italian-Luigi's ( a local pizza and pasta place)
Oriental- Otani and Platinum Dragon ( both local)
I could go on and on.

The Olive Garden. Mmmmm....

I like Blue Ginger (it's Ming Tsai's--that cute guy from the Food Network). I like all the little, nondescript places around Fisherman's Wharf in S.F., too.

The Olive Garden

The Outback - they have GREAT steak. I also like Mozzarella's, The Olive Garden and many of the local Italian restaurants.

It's a toss up between two different types of restaurant. For Chinese-either the Great Wall or Gateway Chinese buffet (great potstickers & they don't use MSG) where you can watch the cooks cooking food for the buffet using woks over fire pits. The other place is a bar near where I work called Grouchos. They have the best fries. When you walk into work carrying a container of those fries you feel like the Pied Piper leading the children. Everyone tries to mooch a few fries from you. Their burgers are great too-not those thin little patties you get at a fast food restaurant, but a burger that is several inches thick. Sam (the cook) has a way of cooking it so that it's still juicy, but at the same time, thoroughly cooked through.

Two local Japanese restaurants one called Nihon the other is Banzai.For American it would be,Carrows & Chris & Pitts. C&P make the best steaks.The Pachanga Indian reservation restaurant,has the best buffett spread.

In Hawaii,
Kings Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant
Zippys
Magoos Pizza Parlor
Sukiyas Japanese restaurant
Halenas Hawaiian foods
Hee Hing Chop Sui Restaurant
Mabuhis Filipino foods
Ayalas
Liliha
Great food Survey!

Hare Krishna restaurants!

My new favorite is Olive Garden!! I don't know if they're just in this area, or national. They have fabulous Italian food!

Thai Restaurant 'Bird' on the Zeedijk in Amsterdam.

That's tough. I've eaten out a lot over the years, Vancouver has a large number of very good restaurants. "Hon's Won Ton" comes to mind, as does "The Only" and "The Noodle Express". It would be much easier to pick from a type of restaurant like "Best Chinese (Inexpensive)" or "Best Seafood (Expensive)" etc.

I've seen ads for those! I don't know if they have them around here, I haven't seen them.

I don't have just one. OK, maybe I do. Mary Chung's in Cambridge, about a block away from my apartment.

They have Olive Gardens in Ohio

Hmm. Katz's Deli on Houston Street is really good. And it's where they shot the famous "Orgasm" scene from "When Harry Met Sally."

And I like Jackson Hole Diner in Astoria, because that's where they shot a couple of scenes from "Goodfellas."

Oh, the food at those places is good, too.

The Olive Garden is the McDonalds of Italian!!
There's only one in NYC, in Times Square, and it's a tourist paradise.

What about that meal we went to on Saturday?

Chumleys! The old speakeasy! Great place, VERY weird music...

Elvis, Louis Armstrong, Cabaret....what next!!

I am back at home now!!!!!!

Well I'm glad you didn't miss your plane or anything.
The folks in England are going to LOVE your swanky new clothes!

They have Olive Garden in Ohio. I love their pasta fagioli soup. I always that with salad and breadsticks when I eat there.

Did you go to Parkerfest this weekend? How was it?

I have too many favourite restaurants. Every night I walk past 46 cafes and 44 restaurants on my way home from work. How could I choose a favourite?

Oh, well, I went to speakeasy night on Friday. Great time. Got all dolled up, then I got schnockered (the pics should be up soon, I'm in the boa). Got home at 4 a.m. Slept RIGHT THROUGH the luncheon at the Gonk. Crap, right? And DOROTHY PARKER'S GREAT-NIECES WHERE THERE. Sunday I skipped the walking tour because, you know, I live here. I do that on my own.

So, I was really disappointed in myself!

You forgot to vote when you mentioned a problem in this survey:

http://surveycentral.org/survey/9062.html

They have Olive Gardens all over California,cept I've never eaten there yet.What would you recommend?

BTW did you receive my E ? I love my Monkee,thank you.I'm thinking on a name.You have nice hand writting yourself.((((HUGS))) Aloha!!!you guys!!

I never would have guessed Olive Garden was such a big chain. The one near us does a fabulous job. Really fresh salad on chilled plates, fabulous entrees that come to the table piping hot, and great service. I honestly had the best fettuccini alfredo ever at Olive Garden the other day. I don't think any restaurant's ever gotten it to the table for me that hot before, and the flavor was great. You know how you take a bite of food and just have to stop chewing and smile because it tastes so good? Yeah, it was REALLY good. I was happy!

I need to go check the e-mail. Glad you liked the monkee! it was the least we could do since you went to all that trouble to make our names.

The one in Bellingham is where we've eaten, and that's not very far across the border from you, although I realize you don't get that far since you don't have a car. Besides, you have plenty of fabulous restaurants right there in Vancouver...no lack of good choices there! Do you like the Spaghetti Factory?

Have you ever eaten there?

Longhorn.

I don't really have one... Maybe Skyline.

No,no it was a pleasure to do it.It helps me relax.....

If you didn't receive my E then my MSN was getting weird again.Dang MSN!! Please let me know okay? ASB tried to E me also but she says it bounced.Bounced like a rubber check..lol lol lol Why am I laughing?? that's not funny!! My MSN E-mail not working,isn't funny! Okay I'm really losing it now...........

Again thank you,that was so sweet of you guys!! ((((HUGS)))) aloha!!

Hey!! How'd you do that thing with the big red letters?? I like!!

Way cool! It just jumps out at ya.....Can't get any clearer than that. Wish I'd thought of it,darn it!

Let me be the 2nd to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY also.(MS.Suebee beat me to it,darn. )Have a great fun filled day!! & here's some cyber $$$$$ lunch is on me & don't forget to get you something cute to wear too Oh what the heck here's another $$$$$ now you can really splurge!! Don't spend it all in one place now.((((HUGS))) & Kisses Aloha! Cleo

I do not care for the type of food they serve but my husband and step daughter like it.

The speakeasy night sounds like it was great fun! Hope you had a couple champagne cocktails for me! Sorry you missed the luncheon, but as you said, you live there, and can see those places anytime! I walked into the lobby of the Algonquin once, just so I could say I had been there. No way do I plan to miss it next year. That would have been cool to see Dot's great nieces, though.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and money. It is burning a hole in my pocket as we speak. I am going shopping tomorrow for a new purse and something cute to wear.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

I have been to Kings Island, but never to the actual town of Cincinnati. But I have had Skyline Chili out of a can, and even that was good!

Yeah, it is okay. I've eaten there a few times. Good food, reasonable prices, service varies, a little too "family oriented" for my tastes.

here in florida i like a local italian restaurant, sebastian's.
in NJ, where i used to live, i loved a restaurant, park and orchard.

Hooters

Hooters has awesome wings

lol lol lol I had a feeling it would.That's why I didn't give you the cyber Visa card. Maybe next birthday,I'll let you have the cyber Master card.Save me a piece of birthday cake okay? Thanks Julie & have a fantastic fun filled birthday.Love & kisses !!!Cleo

*yelling like a child*
DID NOT!

Well I can't wait to meet you next year!!!

**sticks tongue out at you and spits and runns away** nanny nanny boo boo!!!!

Garfields. THey have Italian food, CHinese food, a great Musroom burger, and chicken fried steak. Other good places are Potato Patch, Golden Chorral, Olive Garden, Denny's and IHOP.

Tea-Tray In The Sky, but then I'm biased.

Any of my local Thai restaurants.

What a hard question! I think I'll go with Jonathan's Table in Arlington, VT.

Among the many runners-up are El Palacio in Kingman, AZ and McDonagh's in Galway, Ireland. The only chain I'd put on my short list is Morton's.

And hooters.

Don't you live in Ohio? What part? They don't have Skyline there? What about Goldstar?

I just sent you an e-mail about how to make the big red letters. I hope it gets to you!

Oh HOW I'm I ever going to get my head out of this doo doo??

mmmmmmmmmm Cornish Pasty............

yummm... Mary's, yummmmm.... !!!1

You live in Central Square? yummm... Mary's, yummmmm.... !!!

Have you been drinking again missy? **points finger and shakes it**

Oh,right on! I need to go there & see if my MSN let it through.Thanks Ms Suebee!

I just read an article that said MSN had the lowest rating from their customers when it comes to reliability. I guess you're not alone, if that's any consolation.

You betchya! I was hung over ALL day today.

me to....

Most any buffet...

Will's house. He makes good toast and his dad makes good bacon.

Yep,I concur.That's why I can hardly wait till my contract is up,so I can apply for DSL.

BTW received your E.Did you receive mine? Just wondering if my MSN is down again. Sad isn't it?? (heavy sigh)

Just gave my monkee a name.Konkee monkee.

Yep, we got it. I hope you got my reply. Cute monkee name!!

I glad you received my E. That's good news for me,my MSN is still working. Yay!!!
Yeah,I love my monkee & his new name.

My boyfriend grew up in Hawaii; he was just talking about a restaurant called L & L that he misses the other day.

Roy's Kahana Bar and Grill on Kihei, Maui in the state of Hawaii. This restaurant was so good that I am inspired to travel to every single one of them in the world (there are a few dozen in the Pacific Rim and up and down both U.S. coasts) and see if they are all as good as this one. The best dining experience of my entire life, all food was prepared quickly and expertly - of the highest quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, and balanced in flavor unlike anything else I have ever tasted (for example, mixing equal quantities of sweet and sour yet still being able to taste both sweet and sour simultaneously).

Zagat surveys rate them consistently above 26 out of 30 in the categories of atmosphere, cuisine, service, and price.

http://www.roysrestaurant.com/

But the site is currently down for some reason. :(

There are many L&L Drive-Inns in Honolulu,they're all delicious. Mmmm,I haven't thought about that place in years.Ask him if he used to eat at Zippys drive-inn? Where exactly did he grow up & what intermediate & high school did he attend? Tell him if he ever gets homesick for local Hawaiian foods,to tap this site,then scroll down till he sees the island on the left,relating to food.The recipes are to die for.Okay I'm getting hungry,just thinking about it.The site also has many cultural mainland events listed in your state.

http://www.alohaworld.com

I live in southern California.How 'bout you? BTW it's nice to finally talk to you.Where did you grow up? Aloha!

He says he used to eat at Hot Rod Zippy's all the time.
He grew up in Honolulu.
I grew up in Southern California, actually. Altadena (it's right next to Pasadena). I live in Boston now.

Altadena!Yay!!That's where all of the dairy products in California come from.Boston .....reminds me of the song "Please come to Boston"I've never been there,I bet it's beautiful! I'd like to visit there someday. Where in Honolulu is he from?The island is small & most everyone there knows somebody that knows somebody.What district in Honolulu did he grow up in.I was raised in Nuuanu,Alewa Hights,Kalihi,Waikiki,Kapahulu,Moiliili,Haleiwa & Punahou.My parents were always moving.

You go, girlfriend!
Oh man, my face was puffy from the exertion of puking all day. Sick. SICK.
Since that day I've been gorging on fruits and vegetables, desperately trying to get precious nutrients stocked back up.

I'm not sure where in Honolulu he's from. (He's not here right now for me to ask him.)
Boston is a great city. It's not too big, but it's got pretty much all of the amenities. I've been here for most of about ten years. I'm getting a little tired of the New England architecture, though. Yearning for some nice, sprawling, single-storied California ranch-style houses, or some bungalows, or pretty much anything non-Victorian. It's definitely a town worth visiting, though.

lol lol Yep,I know what you mean.The houses out where I live are getting bigger everytime I look.They're starting to build track homes with 8-11 bedrooms.Hope you do get to make it back to California sometime soon.
Now that I've got you on here I've been sculpting styro foam name for quit a few of the people here for free.If you would like one also let me know & I'll give you my E address so you can give me your snails mail address & the color you want it in. Biggles got to her in exactly a week SueeBee & mandys took only 3-4 days. Well let me know Okay? Aloha!

Macaroni Grill

The Jolly Farmer, Drury, Auckland, New Zealand.

See ya next year for sure!

I live in Akron, Ohio (near Cleveland) and we don't have Skyline or Goldstar here.

I can't wait!

My favourite place is a Chinese restaurant called the Bauhinia.

Any Italian food restaurant.

o'charleys!! I love teryaki chicken!!

Carrabbas

I don't have one since A & W closed. We only have a few sit down restaurants in town with the rest being fast food places.
