Hooters

i went last week. well, it was Bazooka's actually. horrible wings. although it had to be one of the cheapest places on the planet. 20 wings and 6 beers came to about 10 dollars. my friends and i looked at each other with disbelief and giggled all the way to the parking lot.

Johnnie Rockets

i'm not totally convinced that i like the place. plus, they don't serve wine, and i'd feel pretty silly BYO'ing to johnny rockets. and too many damned kids.

but keep those suggestions coming, awbrig. you're helping me narrow this down. :blink:

I've got a case of Bo Jackson's Sweet Potato Pies. Pick up a six pack and the first one in a sugar coma wins. :biggrin:

Go to the North Korean place (Dumpling House) or the Korean Chinese (Kings Noodle) in the Han ah Reum shopping complex in Ridgefield. If you go I'll probably join ya.

Ahh, Louies Backyard.  Nothing beats dining on the patio, overlooking the ocean as the sun sets.  One of the most romantic restaurants in southern FL.  Been there many times, always request the patio as im sure you know.  Enjoy.

What's the current status of Louie's? I frequent a travel forum regularly and posters there consistently say that Louie's food and service has gone waaaaay downhill in recent years. It's consistently recommended as a decent place for lunch and a great place for drinks due to the view but widely disparaged for serving overpriced and not-so-great dinners. Very curious to get the opinion of an Egulleteer.

I was going to avoid an opinion of Louie's but having been back North for a couple of weeks now I will venture forward.

Disappointing comes to mind.

3 of us had for app The Lobster in truffle butter, spinach & proscuitto. Too rich but yet bland somehow. I veered differently and had Diver scallops carpaccio with rum, burnt butter and lime. No taste.

2 entrees of grouper

2 entrees of Florida snapper

No taste.

Wine list, too many young wine priced way too high. Had a Livio Felluga $48

View was great, cocktails on the deck fun.

Stay on the deck and have some cocktails then head next door to Shula's for quality steaks.

Lreda - this confirms what I've been hearing. Sounds as though it's Louie's for cocktails and elsewhere for dinner on my next visit. Although it seems to be widely disparaged by foodies, I've had decent.... not stellar but decent meals at Latitudes on Sunset Key. If it's a warm night and you get one of the "beachside" tables (not really on the beach but set on sand and outside away from the open dining room) it's incredibly romantic with the tiki torches burngin and the breeze coming in off the Gulf. Yes, it's really just an upscale Hilton hotel dining room but I really liked the atmosphere and my date was blown away by the romantic factor. I've been there twice and although it's not up to the level of some other places in KW, it's certainly worth a visit if you're there for more than a few days and romance is on the agenda.

Owen,

we stayed at the Hilton, therefore decided to have lunch at Latitudes. Nothing special as you said but I had a good lobster salad on crossiant.

it's thursday.  where should i go to dinner.

You are simply changing the rules of this game too often.

I am going to take my Barbie Dolls and go home if you keep changing the rules.

I am only thinking of suggestions on Tuesdays.

Maybe we could turn this effort into a weekly game show, and get it on FoodNetwork.

Premise - sexy bachelor Tommy (I know, I know, but this is TV) needs to find a place for dinner.

Set-up - Tommy makes a short video, describing how he's feeling right now, and what he might enjoy for dinner

Hook - bachelorettes vie for Tommy's attention with suggestions of where they could take him for dinner.

Prize - media attention for wannabe models, and dinner with Tommy

Apparently it's easier still to dictate the conversation and in effect, kill the conversation.

T, Check out my post on Gen its the thread right below

I'm a NYC expat. Since coming to the darkside, as many of my freinds have said, I've found that most good things in NYC are made in NJ.

This sounds like it might work..but we need to change the title, "Tuesday's with Tommy?" perhaps.

Sexy bachelor Tommy = Holy Roman Empire (neither holy nor roman nor...oh, I suppose his name is Tommy).  :cool:

my charm is near-irresistible. you know it. i know it. that's just what it is.

now back to my dinner plans. i was considering chicken savoy at what i assume is the Belmount tavern in what i assume is bloomfield or one of the Oranges.
