Some of the ones we are considering are:

Equinox

1789

Brasserie Beck

The Source

Vidalia

Ris

Any opinions on these choices or any other recommendations would be much appreciated!

New Chef at Maceo....Any Reviews?

We have a reservation at Maceo for next Saturday night. I just read in Bonjour Paris that they have a new chef....Maitre Park from Korea. I made the reservation a couple of weeks ago based on good reviews from this forum especially from Chef June.

Has anyone been there recently and offer any reviews of Maceo now that it has a new chef?

Thanks.

Thanks.
I will reconsider Au Bon Accueil and look into Maceo.

Also, perhaps we should do a seafood restaurant since we all like fish. Our last trip we had a wonderful dinner at Les Fables de Fontiaine.....any suggestions along these lines?

OK Great. We will definitely reserve Chez L'Ami Jean.

No, it does not have to be bistros. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks.
I will take that one off my list.
But, do you think the others are too similar....aren't they all classic bistros?

Restaurant Help in Paris

We are two couples who will be in Paris for 5 days in late September. We are celebrating a big birthday and have decided we will have lunch at Le Cinq to celebrate. That is the only definite decision we have made.

We are staying on the border of the 6th and 7th arr near Bon Marche. We cannot eat at many of the highly regarded restaurants on this board such as Spring or Papilles as one of us does not eat meat, and the set menus include meat dishes.

I have tried to come up with a list of choices for four dinners (we will skip dinner on the day we eat lunch at Le Cinq)..

La Regalade (either one as they are equidistant from our hotel)
L'Ami Jean
Chez Josephine
L'Epi Dupin
Le Timbre
Moustache
Au Bon Accueil
Maison du Jardin

Any feedback that would help me narrow my choices would be appreciated. I am thinking those on my list are similar and would love some other choices.

Thanks.

Picky, Unadventurous Eater in San Sebastian

The restaurant in Avignon is Hiely. It was the first time any of us had eaten turbot as it is not a common fish serve here in the US. The one person who ordered the beef said it was delicious.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I am sure I will be able to find something to eat wherever we go in SS, and I definitely want my husband to be able to experience the great dining opportunities in SS.

I won't eat turbot because last summer in Provence I ordered turbot at a well regarded restaurant in Avignon. Three of us in our group ordered the turbot, and none of us could eat it, including my husband. It was gelatinous and tasteless, and I did not eat fish for three months after that. So I don't think my husband or I will order turbot again!

That being said, as I read over my post, I realize I do sound weird to anyone who is a true foodie. I truly wish I did eat more things, as I know SS is a food paradise.

Picky, Unadventurous Eater in San Sebastian

We will be in San Sebastian three nights in June. My husband will eat anything, but I am very unadventurous. I looked at the menus of the restaurants we were recommended such as Bodegon Alejandro, Urepel, and Kokotxa and all the "menus" feature veal cheeks, wood pigeon, turbot, hake.....all of which I don't eat.

We plan on eating Pinxtos a couple of nights, and I think I will be able to find enough to eat.

Any other restaurants in that same price range with a wide range of choices would be appreciated.

Henri or Table 52 for Sunday Dinner

We will be in Chicago this weekend for a family reunion and staying on Michigan Avenue.

Coincidentally, our anniversary falls on Sunday night, and we want to celebrate at a restaurant in the area as we won't have a car and will need to walk or take a taxi.

The two restaurants I have found that are open on Sunday for dinner in our vicinity are Henri and Table 52. Any opinions on which to choose would be greatly appreciated.

We are open to any other suggestions as well!

Hegia in Pays Basque

Thanks all for the recommendations of Hegia.

I e mailed them at info@hegia.com on Thursday morning. I did not hear back yet.

On the web site, there are two telephone numbers, and one is a cell phone. Should I just call them today? I certainly do not want to lose out on this special experience.

Hungry Mother gets great reviews on Zagat.....sounds perfect. How long of a cab ride would it be from the Lenox Hotel in Back Bay? We are traveling with our 85 year old mother so public transport is not an option.

Thanks for your help.

Need One More Dinner Suggestion in Boston

We are a mother and three daughters who are going to Boston for a three day weekend the end of April. We have done an annual weekend trip since our Dad passed away 7 years ago, and this year we will be in Boston....just the women, no husbands! We come from Miami, Denver and Chicago and a big part of the weekend besides getting together is choosing the restaurants.

We have already decided on Mistral and Taranta and need help with the third night. We need somewhere that is moderately priced (about $30 pp without drinks) and will honor reservations. Mistral is French and Taranta is Mediterranean so maybe seafood or American.

Any ideas?

Aureole Bar Room or Orso for Pre-Theater this Friday night

Whoops! I meant Alto, not Orso. We had been thinking of Orso as well, but decided on Alto. Sorry for any confusion.

Aureole Bar Room or Orso for Pre-Theater this Friday night

We are leaving for NYC tomorrow and I still don't know where to dine pre-theater Friday night. I have narrowed it down to a 5:30 reservation at the Bar Room at the Aureole or Alto at the same time.

Which would you recommend taking into consideration quality of the food and service. I was not sure whether Alto would be more enjoyable for a leisurely dinner as opposed to pre-theater. I want to make a decision tonight as we leave tomorrow morning.

Any help would be appreciated.

Steak Frites in Paris

My husband is requesting a steak frited dinner for one of our four nights in Paris next month. We need a restaurant that has great steak frites for him and other selections for me. So none of the steak frites only restaurants would work.

We are staying in the 6th.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Restaurants in Strasbourg

We are not going to have a car in Strasbourg, so while I would love to try some of the restaurants in the surrounding countryside, we are limited by not having a car.

So, PhilD, what are the restaurants you went to that I can cross off my list?

Thanks.

We are going to be in San Diego in March for a conference. We are staying in the Gas Lamp District for four nights.

Some others with positive reviews are:

I would appreciate any opinions of the above restaurants or any others you think I should consider.

Help Me Narrow My BA List

Thanks all of you Chowhounds for your suggestions re my list. I e-mailed the concierge at the Park Hyatt for reservations for these restaurants:
Oviedo
La Cabrera
Resto
Piegari

The only one I am not sure about is Piegare. Some acquaintances here recommended it very highly, but I have mostly read reviews here that said it was ok and pricey. We wanted one Italian meal in BA, so perhaps I should re think this one and go to some of the others mentioned like Sotto Voce, I Matterello, or Sette Bacco.

Any opinions before we leave next week?
