Best Fish and Chips (Dallas)
I hate this thread. ;=] It now has me wracking my brain as to where it was that I used to go all the time and only order Fish and Chips. ;=[

Thanks QTpie. I did 86 Villa-0 because all the new reviews were thumbs down. I am going to Celebrations ... hope it will be ok.

Motherwallace. Thanks for jumping in! I appreciate the input. Unfortunately, I had no more time to research & chose Celebrations because it was either that or Villa-O. From all reports Villa-O is definitely an Oh, No!

Thanks, CocoaNut, loud is something I am determined to avoid. Actually I had to pick a place, It came down to Villa-0 or Celebrations. I chose Celebrations.

Oh, man ... I even love the sound of the place! Thanks.. But I had to pick a place already & it came down to Villa-0 and Celebrations. I chose Celebrations.

pepper,
No, I'm not looking anymore. I had to pick a place already & it came down to Villa-0 and Celebrations. I chose Celebrations. But Cliff Cafe is certainly on my to do list now. Thanks.

mrevans,
Thanks for the info. I will check it out. But I had to pick a place already & it came down to Villa-0 and Celebrations. I chose Celebrations.

Cliff Cafe sounds awesome. I will check it out. Thanks for the suggestion. However, it will have to be later because I had to pick a place and it came down to Villa-0 or Celebrations. I chose Celebrations.

Can't say I've been to Toulousse, but looks like a good place to check out. At this rate, I'll be eating out on Sundays for the rest of the year at least. Thanks for taking the time to offer a suggestion.

Thank you, kersplat, for introducing me to yet another great restaurant. Sadly, though, Maguire's doesn't match my needs. I need a restaurant closer to downtwon because my friends are driving from Rowlett, Ft. Worth and Ennis. Plus the time for the soiree is 2 pm Sunday, and Maguires closes from 2:30-5 pm. I do appreciate the info, though!

Okay. I have visions of Chilean Sea Bass and Fried Avocado Fingers dancing in my head. Geesh. I have checked out gads of Dallas restaurants. Either they're not open on Sunday afternoon, or their menu is limited, or they don't have anything remotely resembling a round table, or they're way out of my budget. I have checked out established restaurants and ones just opening ... like fifty-six, Nick & Sam's Grill, Brooklyn Jazz Cafe, Cafe San Miguel, Hectors on Henderson's (with a new chef). Sooo ... after too much deliberation, it has come down to two: either Villa-O or Celebrations. The reviews are mixed on Villa-O -- any of youse guys been there? ;=] It has a preppie-looking nautical motif and way overpriced glasses of wine. But it has 3 round tables and a quite extensive menu. Celebrations is a tad dull, but they have an extensive menu and round tables with private rooms. Can I see a show of hands?
Oh Shit, Kashi!
I had to be the bearer of even worse tidings, but I got an email from Kashi this week. They wanted to warn me about their cereal bar ... that I shouldn't eat the free sample they sent me. Seems they purchase some of the ingredients from that low-life peanut company that's responsible for the salmonela problem. Now might be a good time to switch to one of Whole Foods bulk cereals. They have quite a variety. Personally, I love their granola. My favorite is gingersnap granola.No more Kashi for me ... that's for sure!

I love Gloria's. Great suggestion. What about the noise level?

You know how these things go -- in a state of flux. I'm pretty sure we're looking at having the party at 2 p.m. Sunday. Sadly, this excludes a lot of restaurants that don't open till after 5 p..m.
Hey ... I never said it'd be easy! (smile) Looks like I need a restaurant that is open all day on Sunday, not just for brunch, and not just for dinner. H E L P ! !

A great pick! However, like all the others, it's closed on Sunday.

Sadly, Avanti is closed Sunday afternoon. I think the time will be 2 p.m. That's the consensus so far.

Thank you all. Those are wonderful suggestions! Glad for the info on Houstons. I certainly would not want to wait an hr. I love lobster. Yum!
I'm gonna check all the recommendations! I'll let y'all know where the final destination will be.

Thanks for the suggestion. It does look like a neat restaurant & it certainly has round tables. Only thing, though, is I would like something more intimate and less bright. I used to hold these parties at Houston's because they had a nice big table that fit 10 and it was off by itself in a semi secluded space.
The Walnut Hill location is closed, but I just did a search and there is one at Preston & NW Hwy. Didn't know that! That will go on my short list, but still would like other suggestions.
I might add that the party will be on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Hopefully, Sunday. While I'm a night owl, my friends aren't. It's hell getting old. LOL

Probably Central or somewhere near major highways. One friend is coming from Ft. Worth, another lives in Lancaster. Some are in North Dallas & Frisco... so it's a spread out group.
West End, Greenville Avenue, anywhere along 75 or near the Tollway is good. Heck, downtown is not out of the question either. I guess the areas I'd avoid are far North Dallas and West Dallas. But we'd probably be willing to go anywhere if the place fit the bill.
Thanks for asking!!

Next month, I want to celebrate my 63rd birthday by gathering my friends together at a restaurant in Dallas that has a nice, big round table. Must haves include: relatively quiet so we can hear each other. Decent food, but not terribly expensive. Good service. Pluses would be atmosphere, nice music, valet parking. Free b-day dessert is always good!
This is a tradition I started many years ago. My friends always loved it! It's been a long time since I celebrated my birthday, but I realize now how precious life is and want to share my joy at being alive for another year.
The only food I don't like is Sushi. I am a very young 63, if that makes a difference.(More like 43) My friends are in their 40s, 50s and 60s ... and largely single like me. There will be 5-8 of us.
