The Water Cooler – What’s Your Favorite Restaurant?
previous post
The Golden Corral.
You can’t beat the Caprice Seafood and Steakhouse in Tiburon for the best abalone.
Favorite? anywhere, probably Omega’s in Niles, IL. Here in Concord, hmmm, either Jack’s in PH or Chopan Kabob on Monument (best fish dish -tandoori fish- I have ever had).
Troy greek restaurant or Florence Italian restaurant, both in Martinez
I’ll have to give Florence another shot. The first time was not good.
O.G.! (Oh God)
Here we go…… who’s going to bring up the O.G. first? (Olive Garden) 😋
I’d say Badge was first! Ha ha
The Chinese Kitchen, 3426 Clayton Rd
We’ve been going there for 30 years.
I like Jack’s in PH also, many selections, the Italian Mac n Cheese is great(split it with someone) the bartenders are crazy busy but are two of the very best. Fiores in Concord also is very good(lamb shank cannot be beat). Use to go to Moresi’s chophouse in Clayton but it has turned into just soso on meals, plus, the owner is a simp( was a huge Biden supporter). And I quote, “ he sure was on point”. This was on day after the Trump/Biden debate
We really don’t have a favorite, and don’t eat out much.
It’s more like, …. what sounds tasty to eat if we’re out and about.
More likely a place that cooks food I normally have not mastered the flavors on.
El Aguila!
It was …… Scott’s in WC – but they closed 🙁 soooooo fancy restaurant = Fleming’s casual = Hickr’y Pit (formerly Emil’s) on Main St WC
The Back 40! They have a great variety of food and excellent service in comfortable surroundings.
Geez…. I never met anybody who didn’t like Back Forty…. tho they don’t offer banana bread anymore… that kinda sux.
And, Back 40 now charges extra for baked potato.
Le Diplomate in Washington DC.
We ate at Gadsby’s in VA our recent trip to DC. Went because it was a building from the 1770s and we just wanted to experience at least the building from the time of our Founding. Needless to say, it was fan-tas-tic. I will have to look at Le Diplomat for the next time I go.
Mac’s old house in Oakley
Great China in Berkeley
Hotel Mac in Point Richmond, but that was forty years ago.
Best glazed carrots I’ve ever had – I’ve tried to duplicate them, but I can’t come close. Maybe they used a pressure-cooker.
My favorites are pretty much all gone: Hugo’s Lighthouse in the Boston area, Garibaldi’s in Charleston, 5th Quarter in Nashville, and Cliff House in San Francisco.
To ancient mariner…the original Hotel Mac was a great place to dine…i really enjoyed their escargot appetizer…
I ENJOY THE FOOD AND SERVICE AT DEVINO’S IN PH…
Montecatini in Walnut Creek, best Italian restaurant in the EastBay.
Yes, Montecatini is good, as is the service, but the noise level is not conducive to having a conversation. Prices are considerably higher than other high-end Italian places, and parking is not convenient.
