[steve2470]

5. Italy. That is the true location of this shot nt

[Aristus]

Northwest quisine. Plus steaks and chops. :9

7. I live in a very urban area yet

we don't have that many non-chain restaurants, you have to drive up to Williamsburg to get the kind you are talking about. When we are going up there my favorite is the Whaler, which is seafood and steaks, but there is a nice Japanese steak house which is near by that is my Favorite "I don't feel like driving that far for a special occasion" restaurant...

10. Whaling Company in Williamsburg is wonderful! Had our

rehearsal dinner there.

[Sympleesmshn]

11. Yeah...

another good one, kind of a better place to go for lunch, is the carrot tree in yorktown...

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

14. Never heard of the carrot tree.

Ever been to Skillagallee in Richmond?

[Sympleesmshn]

19. No... is it downtown?

It is about an hour to downtown Richmond, so I don't get up there very often...

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

22. Skilagallee is at Glenside and Broad Street (in Henrico County).

Not downtown. We went there tonight. Great seafood. Yumm...

[Nailzberg]

8. Under which listing would you classify Pondo?

And does anyone know of a Pondo that is still operating?

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

9. Seafood.

[phusion]

12. Indian...

If my date doesn't dig Indian food, we have trouble... :)

15. "special occason" restaurant

That would depend on the person, what I enjoy the other person may not.

[Rush1184]

16. I LOVE SUSHI!!!!

[Aiptasia]

17. Right there with you... Sushi yum...

Unagi anyone?

[Rush1184]

20. I would give anything for an eel handroll right now...

and a nice cold bottle of sake!

[Hans Delbrook]

18. I love Italian but I have to admit Le Bec Fin can't be topped

For special occasions. Besides, supporting anything French pisses off the rethugs.

[Seabiscuit]

21. OK, if "Seafood" was on the list, how many would vote "Seafood"?

[loudestchick]

23. The Melting Pot--it's a fondue restaurant--O--The Cellar at Plaza III

it's the more casual dining room at a fancy steak house, live jazz on Friday and Saturday nights and a Creme Brulee to die for.

[Steve Nash is god 13]

24. clapton! n/t

[Seabiscuit]

25. Well, at least no one voted for "Jack-In-The-Box"

And no, I've never heard of Pondo. Let me guess: it's either Sumatran or Aleutian?
