The restaurants are rated on service and food — fo ur

average, one star below average, no star simply means

The list fo llo w in g m y ten favorites are w orth checking
on also, those that are marked w ith a stai are very good
and should be visited i f at all possible. The others are
for change o f pace or fo r those experimenting moods
that overcome us all.
The ten are in alphabetical order and no comparison
was intended between them.
Have fun, I hope this little guide helps sort out a few
places to enjoy a good meal or a sip o f wine w itho ut the
agonizing study o f the telephone books extensive listing.

A favorite fo r those who enjoy elegance, w ith fla ir
and overly pretentious service as accouterments to their
meal.

" G R A N D ” . The food is well prepared but not simple,
continental but not French, excellent but not superb.
In a city noted fo r q uantity not q uality o f restaurants
we could rate this restaurant in the top twenty. I t ’ s a
place where one may linger and enjoy the trappings o f
success that surround you, or where you can relax and
enjoy a good meal prepared in the style many people
daydream o f having or believe the rich have. The menu
is impressive in its breadth o f selection. Dover Sole and
T urb ot from England, M ahi M ahi from H aw aii, Scam
pi fro m the Mediterranean, Salmon from the Pacific-
Northwest, and other delights from New England to
Australia. A live tank holding trou t and lobster enhance
