A couple of our favs: Intermission (little bar in Theater District that has GREAT burgers) and Masa (close to South End) for fabulous tapas, an amazing green chili burger wrapped in pastry and lots of truly unique margaritas created by Greg. My favorite was one with habanero chilis muddled in! Oh yeah, the seafood was good and the leaves were really pretty too.Diane Markinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090334941523457539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727707849242997136.post-79373479169000160592009-10-20T02:17:36.869-07:002009-10-20T02:17:36.869-07:00Ivar's on the Seattle waterfront is one of the...Ivar's on the Seattle waterfront is one of the best places in town. Great classic seafood at a cheap price. Happy hour Monday thru Friday from open to close is hard to beat. Also Cafe Flora is a must visit but not if you are looking for some meat.SirFloydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813810847584802193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727707849242997136.post-36986803170085610892009-10-19T16:58:31.615-07:002009-10-19T16:58:31.615-07:00I live in Flagstaff where there are a lot of resta...I live in Flagstaff where there are a lot of restaurants but not many that fulfill the requirements of one that could be considered good for regular visits and reasonably priced. I think here you mainly get one or the other! "Brandy's" restaurant in Flagstaff is known for it's breakfasts but it's real treasure is their dinners. It was featured on "Diners, Drive Ins and Dives" last year. It is a cut above and reasonable as well. My son, who is majoring in Culinary Nutrition in Denver and is a definate food snob, and I discovered a place there that I absolutely love. It is called "Encore". It's located in the front ticketing area of an old theater. The rest of the building and attached to the restaurant is a bookstore called "The Tattered Cover". It's a great place to have a wonderful meal then browse the books. Lastly one of my favorite places on the planet is Kauai, Hawaii and I love Puka Dogs, yes they are hot dogs but nothing like I've experienced before. They have a website and I've even ordered (at great expense because of the weight) their sauses which are heavenly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727707849242997136.post-59764904362632498692009-10-19T07:57:59.075-07:002009-10-19T07:57:59.075-07:00I live in San Antonio so there are plenty of Mexic...I live in San Antonio so there are plenty of Mexican restaurants here. One of my favorite little dives is on hwy 281 North heading out of town. It's called Picadillo and hugs a chevron station on one side and a dry cleaners on the other. They have authentic Mexican food, it's cheap, and delicious!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872081884514124721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727707849242997136.post-18480488880891957912009-10-18T22:13:19.897-07:002009-10-18T22:13:19.897-07:00I absolutely LOVE Casey Moore's.

You have great taste!!<br /><br />Another great mom and pop (or pop, brother, and son in this case) is Trio's Italian Restaurant in Ahwatukee. Awesome food at great prices, and the service is fantastic. Talk about treating you like family! It's one of our favorites.
