i went to school in miami about 40 years ago, we would all go to key west and hole up in one motel room. went back last year and ate at satiago's bodega. very good food and a great evening. if it is nice try to eat outside. enjoy.

camillas looks good. we are going to be in marco island for a week this xmas season. any other reasonable priced, good eats close by?

hi there, we live in hilton head and there is a lot of good food to be had. high end-michael anthony's, sage room (hard to find, but worth it), old fort pub. just below that is roastfish and cornbread (on marshland), wise guys, redfish. for a cool casual burger and beer, try to find off the hook, also on marshland, looking out at broad creek. enjoy

i would say that indulge burgers in scottsdale would certainly fit the bill for you guys. great burgers, tv;s and a bar. not too expensive and great for a large group.

try bay village pizza down in beach haven. the best pizza and fries on lbi. enjoy

has anyone been to patria recently? good? what to order? thanks.

we live in hilton head and there are surprisingly good restaurants here. casual dinners at boathouse are ok, up the creek is a good place for a beer and burger, but i find the upscale dining much better. michael anthony's, sage room and redfish are as good as any restos anywhere. sunrise cafe in palmetto bay marina is the best b'fast, imho. there is no place that requires dressing up on hilton head, slacks and a golf shirt work everywhere. enjoy your stay, and if it is nice, check out the sunset from the bridge on the cross-island.

just got back from boca and saporissimo is a different place. the food is still good, though i think not as good, but i may be coloring my thoughts because i loved the show that went on with the old owner. i was told that he went back to italy. the place was packed, packed. i recall being just about the only group in the place. new decor. nobody bringing out all of the food before it is cooked and telling me about it. let's face it, it is much more like a real restaurant now, rather than a great place to go, see old friends, and eat a great meal. again, the food was good, but i am sad.

surfer e, we may be going to hammock beach for a few days, the same restaurants? any other help would be appreciated. thanks

my mom lives in boca and our favorite place to eat is saporissimo. it looks like a roadside stand, but it is outstanding. not cheap, but the food is great. 366 e palmetto park road. enjoy

my wife and i were fortunate to eat at fattoria terranova this past may, and it was a great meal and an even better experience. we were staying at the hotel bel air on the coast and the concierge made the reservation for us. he then asked me how i had heard of this place, as it was almost strictly for locals. he told us to be ready at 7pm, and a car would pick us up. there were four of us and we could have never found it on our own,
we arrived and entered the restaurant and the locals looked up and stared a little. but the owner came over and in halting english welcomed us. we put ourselves in his hands. appys aplenty, one or two pastas, steak and chicken. veggies and potatoes. plenty of house wine. more food than we could ever finish. all of it delicious. if you have a chance to go to this great place, run!! one of the great dinners i have had.
a little aside, they have an inn and cooking school and my wife would love to go back. me, just feed me.

just got back from scottsdale yesterday, went with a bud for golf and car shows. pomo pizza on scottsdale road is very good, neapolitan pizza. our favorite place was posh on scottsdale road. it was a little tough to find, but the food was great. choose how many courses you would like, and they take care of the rest. josh the owner is a good guy, and all the waiters and waitresses were wonderful. i would definately return.

looking for some great italian food in charlotte

ate at mad fish last year, and thought it the best food in the area.

just ate at plate last week and everything was good. my friend from the hamptons loved it. we may not have the most discerning palates, but plate serves very good food and the people are very accomondating.

second boulevard clams. we take out from there all summer long, whenever a different friend comes to visit.

we live on lbi, and we like the crab shack quite a lot. i had fish and chips, wifey had oysters and fish, sonny boy had fish tacos. everything dissappeared. food was delish, servers harried but sweet, and unlike mud city, no wait. a good evening all around.

we live on lbi for half of the year and yellowfin is our favorite place. last year blue closed, and plate opened. very good food, nice people, still finding it's way a little. those are the two best places on the north end of the island. i agree with mustache bill in barnegat light for breakfast, reliable. mud city is always a very long, painful wait. we prefer the crab shack a little farther from the island on route 9. good casual food. gables can be great and can be so-so, but that's my feeling. we always have gone to sweet vidalia, but haven't been this year so i do not know if it re-opened. lbi is a great place to summer with good eats all around.

spent a week in vero recently and had a few very good meals. first let me say that i have spent a lot of time in south florida and i have never been in vero beach and it's great. two restaurants that stood out were the tides near the beach which had very good, modern american food and felix's place cuban where everything was delicious, the people friendly, and the singers great. you have to go to felix's if you are in vero.

going back to boca to see mom in april, guess where we are going to eat?

ate there wednesday night with my mom. what a fine italian restaurant. the owner/chef greeted us like we were family and it kept getting better. we shared buratta, pasta with black truffles and bronzino. everything was fresh and delicious. the cheese was smooth and creamy, the pasta was homemade and redolent of truffle, and the fish was a simple preparation that was easy to eat. there are little sides that came with dinner, a little cheese sandwhich amuse, and veggies, potatoes and peppers with the meal. my mom, who has been in boca for 25 years was wondering how she had never heard of this place before. a great little italian slightly off the beaten path in boca raton. eat here!

has anyone eaten at felix'splace in vero beach? i have read some great things. thanks

any suggestions for vero beach? we are going to be spending some time there in april and are looking for restaurants. i have read about felix's place, but that's about it. thanks.

i am going to be in the area of beaufort, sc for a week and i am looking for dinner recs. thanks

hey suzie, one dinner in key west, santiago's?

i will be in scottsdale for the car shows and some golf at the end of january. my buddy is a vegetarian. we need a few places to eat, maybe one or two southwestern, where he can get a good vegetarian meal. thanks

we are living currently on hilton head island during the winters and lbi summers. we will be in marco next week and we have little bar, i m tapas and cafe de marco for the adults. should we change the last to verdi's? thanks.

we are heading down to marco island, and we are meeting our family at the snook inn. should we go to the little bar instead? any other suggestions for the marco/naples area. we are from teaneck, nj.

We are going to Sea Island next month, staying at the Cloister, but we do not want to eat there. We have a car and we are looking for good, local restaurants. Thanks.

Has anyone eaten at Barrington's recently, and is it worth searching out? We will be in Charlotte next month and want to go to one special restaurant. Thanks.
