Not for awhile. They had to replace their entire fridge system because of the spoiled food. Also, like everyone else, there is not enough labor to support their needs. But, a few other Brennan Restaurants are open in NOLA and I love that.

Excelent. I'm glad to hear that. God bless beignets.

INcidentally, next time I come to Atlanta, what's a hot place to eat?

I've been fortunate enough to have some excellent dining experiences. My first was in NJ in a place called Good Fellas (I think it was really called this!) It was an authentic Italian restaurant. We had a meal that was about 7 courses and it was so amazing. We started with buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, with olive oil and garlic. Then we had our soup, then pasta, then entre, then dessert, then espresso. I think there was more too! The food just kept coming and we dined leisurely for about 3 hours. The service was impeccable, we were not rushed in the least.

I once went to L'Espalier here in Boston, the food and service were phenomenal. The staff was nearly psychic in taking care of your every need. That was way beyond my budget but I had a gift certificate that was a bonus from work. It was for $100 but the meal was $250!

I had no idea it would be so much but it was excellent.

Another great meal I had was on the south shore of MA at Tosca. It is a 5* restaurant as well and you just would never expect it there. Perhaps in NYC or LA, and now even Boston, but not Hingham! The presentation of the food there is gorgeous. The dessert was really excellent and GIGANTIC!

I'm a foodie so I could go on and on and on and on...

You can get the most delicious mozzarella and prosciutto sandwich with extra virgin olive oil and basil for under $7!!! It really freaking rocks. So on a budget or with the sky as the limit you will eat like a king.

We have been to a place in the North End a few times called G'Vanni's. It is OK but my friend loves it there.

Know any good but inexpensive places in the North End that we can check out?

I don't have fancy taste when it comes to food.

To be honest I like Grilled Chicken with Cheddar Cheese and BBQ sauce, mashed potatoes and butternut squash at restaurant called Gregg's. It is a chain here in Rhode Island. Of course it is followed by a chocolate éclair.

There is a place called Luigi’s in Johnston that I like. My favorite there is the Chicken Parm.

There a VFW Post located in Cranston that is supposed to have great Italian food. I have never been there but I am going to make it my mission to check it out soon. I will have to post in this thread if I do get to go.

Hey! I just saw that! I live in Greece, (well I am greek) and I have to say you can find some pretty nice things to eat here. If you ever come back, or if anyone visits, you should definitely go to Creta- I was there in the summer and the food is great And cheap

Anyway, I like american style food very much. We have lots of TGI Friday's in Athens but I don't know if it's the same in the US. I love eating there

Ohh I love going out and trying new places..I think my favorite would be the Wickaninsih Inn in Tofino on Vancouver Island..the food was super pumpkin crab soup to start..followed by beautiful stuffed salmon..but what really made it all wonderful was the fact it was a winter get away for my husband and I when we first started dating..
