Dexter's also looks perfect! Thanks very much. I'm so glad I posted here. These are all good choices for us.
special occasion outside ann arbor
thank you! I actually haven't called any of the restaurants in Ann Arbor. I was assuming they are all booked since the hotels are booked a year in advance for this event. I will try the Gandy Dancer today although the Chelsea Grill and Mac's both look perfect for us. Thanks again!
special occasion outside ann arbor
My son is graduating from the University of Michigan in April. All the restaurants in Ann Arbor are booked for that day. Any recommendations in towns outside of AA for this special occasion? We'd rather not have to drive into Detroit but a suburb might be OK.
Sarasota area-Good local restaurants?
Harry's on Lonboat Key is a longtime favorite of ours. Aside from the restaurant they have a cute take out place that has "high-end" sandwiches and salads.
Batali place
If your 15 yr.old is picky but lik s fish you may be better off at Esca. It's all fish so there will be something he or she likes on the menu. There are a lot of items on all 3 menus that a picky teenager might find odd but adults find interesting. I took my son to Lupa and the kitchen wound up making him a bowl of pasta with butter and cheese because there wsn't a single thing on the menu he would eat (It was awesome by the way!). At Otto there is always the old standby, Pizza Margharita for a picky kid and it is excellent.
best table outside/ Santa Monica-Brentwood
thanks to everyone. this is the first time I've posted and this is all very hepful so far. thanks!
Batali place
both Lupa and Otto are excellent. Otto is not just pizza. There are pastas and salads and great gelato. Both restaurants have great food and are everything wonderful about Batali-Bastianich. Lupa is smaller and more intimate than Otto. You really feel like you are in the Village there. You can wander the streets before or after. The neighborhood is cozy.
Esca is in mid-town and the neighborhood is more frenetic. You're really in the general vicinity of the theater district and Tmes Square and all that goes with it. The restaurant is more up-scale than Lupa and Otto. It isn't stuffy though. It's comfortable.
best table outside/ Santa Monica-Brentwood
Any recommendations for a restaurant in Santa Monica or Brentwood with good food and a pretty outdoor table? We've been stuck in the Northeast all winter and crave SUN! Can't wait to get to L.A. tomorow!
