Just want to say that's an AWESOME idea for storing pies (on your grill)!! Love all this creative use of space.

The bf and I often sit at the bar at the B&O and eat dinner. The drinks are fabulous. You can linger as long as you want.

Like Janet, I think it is way too much work for very little payoff. I think the meal is boring to cook but at the same time it is incredibly labor intensive. My mother refuses to be invited anywhere because she claims that my dad doesn't like to eat other people's food...but she stresses out to an absolutely INCREDIBLE degree over serving Thanksgiving dinner to the four of us. It is very depressing. This year I gave up and am going to the boyfriend's house.

I have highjacked Christmas, however. I invite my parents, brother, stray aunts, and friends who want to get away from their families...lots of booze, food that I like to cook and eat, tons of desserts, and lingering conversation at the table. It's a good time.

Saw him at Eddies around Christmas.

Would like to put in another vote for Trinacria. Amazing Italian deli and the smell is exactly like my Italian grandmother's house used to smell. Check the hours, though...I think it's closed on Sunday.

Hi--long-time lurker here. Saw this post and had to respond. I went to Waterfront Kitchen on Sunday for brunch. Food was pretty good and inexpensive--a huge club sandwich with a grilled chicken breast and yummy spread, and a nice BLT on ciabatta--but the service was awful. We broiled in the sun for an hour and a half while our server disappeared for extended periods of time. Tables also very close together; I crashed into the people at the table next to me a couple of times while moving my chair. I don't think I'll be back. However, the view is divine...too bad about the service.
