Stuff Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 But is there such an animal as American restaurant/romantic I suppose the nearest would be something like tgi Fridays lights are low and some nice little tables for 2 on the flip side staff can never EVER get an order right and they insist on singing AT you if you even dare mention a birthday ...in fact oh my god they are at the office door! Get back no I was only saying if ……oh noooo they are singing HELP HELP!! MEEEEEEEEEEEE! To stick up for TGIs (as it's my favourite restaurant) they've never got my order wrong. Yes, the singing is annnoying, but if you tell them you don't want to be sung to, they won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debk Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 The ribs are good, but thats it. Just my opinion though, small expensive portions is not very American in my view. This is American http://www.houseofpies.com/ mmmmmmmmmm! we visited this traditional American dinner last month when we visited my son in Houston. ......don't think you can get the supertram to it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam1984 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Frankie and bennies or Boardwalk at centretainment are good.We go to Boardwalk a lot, loads to choose from on the menu, and staff are friendly and accomodating on birthdays.Should be able to book at short notice too. Dont go to Uncle Sams! We went about a month back and I always remembered it being really nice when I was younger but it was horrible. My drink had pink lipstick all round the glass....I dont wear lipstick! We were shown to our table and there were fries allover my chair and lettuce all over the table. We ordered and they brought the wrong food out, so we waited ages for it to arrive and when it did I didnt have a knife and the girl serving us said Id have to wait as they hadnt managed to wash any cuttlery yet!!! Even if you choose to go, the romantic atmosphere will never happen coz the place is heaving with kids running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ousetunes Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 The old hanrahans place looks alright... Catch the 95/120 into town from city rd and just walk up past west st, nr the hospital... Havent been yet, but have been meaning to try it EXCHANGE BAR AND GRILL. It's very good indeed. I have been around five or six times (four in the last 6 weeks alone!). The burgers are superb with plenty to choose from. And their corn on the cob is fab. I actually went there with 14 others for my birthday the other week. I've been back since then and must admit I'm growing fond of the place. It makes the likes of Damon's look the wooden catering-by-numbers stodge that it really is.

MorriganGrey Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks guys, you've been really helpful. I think I'm going to go to Frankie and Benny's tonight. But I think I might try the Exchange Bar and Grill sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
