this totally insane place that my wonderful husband took me to when we were in Paris. -- (edited) - Diva Apr 5, 08:10 2
- did it feel weird eating there? with the Nazi history? I always wonder about that kind of thing with places like that. -- nm* - Remlik Apr 5, 08:30 1
  - I didn't know about the Nazi part until after we'd gone there and I read a little more about it. - Diva Apr 5, 08:35
Can't remember the name, but a bistro in Quebec City's old town neighbourhood. If not, there's a damned good local steakhouse here in Winnipeg that... - Name Withheld by Request Apr 5, 08:04
This place is not as fancypants, but local and does a great tasting menu. -- (link) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 07:51
I've always wanted to go to Le Bernardin, for as many times as it's been on Top Chef. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 5, 07:49 2
- indeed -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 08:30
- me too. And I like that Eric Ripert. He seems cool. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 08:15
I have been to Fasano, which used to be very fancy, here in São Paulo. Also something very fancy in Venice.. - Marlowe Apr 5, 07:48
not big on fancy, but this place is one of the nicest -- link - Beaker Apr 5, 07:47
Gotham Bar & Grill. Very fancy restaurant and meal despite what the name implies. -- (link*) - Krusty Apr 5, 07:46 5
- that place is nice. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 08:16
- Pretty sure I've been there for drinks. Nice. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 07:59 1
  - After my old roommate got engaged we went there. I'm a picky eater so I don't do fancy places but there were a lot of great choices. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 08:07
- was your waiter Batman? -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:47 1
  - He's the owner. Alfred is the waiter. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 07:49
Does the French restaurant at Epcot count? :) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Apr 5, 07:45 3
- no bueno -- nm - pfm: head shaved in 2 days! Apr 5, 07:57
- hehe, I was going to say Emeril's at Universal Studios -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:48
- Le Applebee? -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:46
It wasn't necessarily the fanciest restaurant, but the fanciest meal at a restaurant was a 7-course Valentine's Day meal. - Beryllium Apr 5, 07:43
I've been for lunch at The Langham (it's opposite my office). -- (link) - LMS Apr 5, 07:42 2
- I've gotten drunk a few times at the Langham across the street from my office. We're going back on the 13th. (fear). -- nm* - Diva Apr 5, 08:17
- My favourite restaurant is still Salvo's in Leeds, but it's not fancy. -- (link) - LMS Apr 5, 07:45
I don't think I've ever been any place overly fancy. Like definitely not the B2 list fancy -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 07:38 14
- oh for sure no. I'm not a super fancy person. I'm not a picky eater. I just like more casual settings. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 07:54 2
  - I don't think I could order a meal that was 50 bucks or more. - groiny Apr 5, 07:55 1
    - oh I could. but would I want to eat where it was served? I'm *so* not fancy. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 08:09
- I am a very picky eater, and that generally does not go well with fancy restaurants. -- nm* - groiny Apr 5, 07:41 10
  - I'm not picky really, but I am definitely not going to a shiny restaurant to drop $100 on dinner where I don't know what I'm getting. - Shaun Apr 5, 07:44 9
    - Last time I ate at a chain restaurant was probably the Chili's at the Tampa airport last year. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 07:56 6
      - I had lunch at a Bar Louie last year - that's probably the only chain I've been to in around 5 years though -- nm - decline Apr 5, 08:17
      - Last chain i ate at was a bagel from Tim Horton's yesterday. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 08:14
      - if this is a poll, I ate kfc last friday and will have domino's tonight. (survivor domino's, yo.) -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 08:10 1
        
        Red Lobster on Sunday. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 08:16
      - Jesus, even I haven't been to a Chili's. -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 08:02 1
        
        It was *literally* the only option. -- nm* - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 5, 08:04
    - heh. I'm the complete opposite -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:45 1
      - :) me too. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 07:50
I don't really go to fancy restaurants. Lava in Iceland comes to mind as somewhat recent: -- (link) - Andie Apr 5, 07:37
Le Golden Steer - located in the finest strip mall known to man. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:37 16
- The fanciest strip mall place I've been to was a Japanese restaurant with an onakase (chef's choice) menu, with the main ingredients flown in - Roger More Apr 5, 07:46
- Charles Bronson painting and all? -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:38 14
  - Of course. It was an oil painting on black velvet. What can be classier than that? -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:41 13
    - I do not remember much about it, really, other than the painting and Sciere's roadkill on a plate. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:43 12
      - You don't recall the "Oh crap" feeling when we walked in and were under-dressed by a factor of 80000. - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:51 11
        
        So it really was a fancy place? With that name? In a strip mall? That's hysterical. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 07:56 9
        
        take a look -- (link) - groiny Apr 5, 07:59
        
        It was The Golden Steer -- and yes, that entire ordeal was a clustermess. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:57
        
        from the outside, it was a dump. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:57 6
        
        Well, they'd known we'd just spent 45minutes arguing over a limo / taxi...to walk 300 yards. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:58 5
        
        we fought about that, but then we walked 32 miles to the wedding without discussing a cab. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:59 4
        
        I remember Max in the back of the wedding march group, sadly watching the cabs pull away, wondering why we weren't in them. - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 08:02 3
        
        I know how the Hobbits felt going to Mordor. - groiny Apr 5, 08:15 2
        
        At least you collected the entire set of flip cards on the way. - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 08:17 1
        
        I have no idea if this is true or not. - groiny Apr 5, 08:19
        
        that would explain why they shuttled us into a side room and closed the red curtain. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:52
Laheire in Princeton and La Bec Fin in Philly (both closed now) -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:35
I honestly don't know, I do not often frequent high brow restaurants. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 07:34
