This was my family's favorite place when I was growing up and almost every special occasion included their huge plate of spicy seafood fra diavolo and we were addicted to their garlic bread. When it moved to its new location in Marlton, I went back about 8 years ago and was sorely disappointed. The tables were so crowded that the waitresses had trouble moving up and down the aisles with food. The food quality didn't seem nearly as good, either. Well, I'll have to give it another try, I suppose.

Will be staying at the Renaissance Hotel for a few intense days of meetings and need a few places within walkable distance for breakfest, lunch or dinner. I'd even appreciate any place that delivers to the hotel...my crowd isn't particularly adventurous. I searched the boards for recommendations but links were a few years old.

I've been unhappy with some of the meat I've gotten at the local groceries although if you're willing to pay the price, Whole Foods and Wegman's are good. But I was wondering what people think of independent butchers like Meat Stop in Willingboro, Arnie's or Arnold's in Cherry Hill, etc.

Any recommendations out there?

I had the same exact experience. Ordered take-out one Saturday afternoon when the place was very quiet. I ordered the gyro platter and I don't even think I got a greek salad. The gyro itself was on the small side and a little stingy on the tzatski sauce. There was an order of fries and literally, it was a smaller portion than what you'd get from a Happy Meal. I thought I'd share the meal with my little daughter but everything was so soggy from being in the plastic container that it was very unappetizing.

I was really disappointed because it is so close to my house. I'll stick to Norma's at the Barclay Center.

Two years ago, one memorable beachside meal was fresh grilled red snapper done on a giant grill served with guacamole and fresh rice. I remember it was seasoned simply with limes and something called achiote seasoning? Can anyone help recreate this yummy dish?

I'll be there for just a long weekend and looking for any rec's for good eats. Local food, seafood...pretty much open to anything yummy.

OK, I have 2 annual conventions I attend - in Columbus, OH, I've found North Market which provides a much needed alternative to the food court in their convention center. In Cleveland, we'll be staying at the Renassaince Hotel but it was freezing outside and I didn't have much chance to wander looking for good eats. what else is within a few minutes walk for both these places? I don't get many breaks during the seminars and don't get reimbursed for cabfare so cheap, fast and good are my main criteria.
