Heads up - went to Little Betty's ate an $80 steak... was not impressed. Good steak but not better than Fleming's or Ruth's Chis so that's not that great IMO. Why you charging me $80+? Crossed that one off my list it was good but not as good as their menu prices I may go back and try a pork chop or something. Aged steak tasted like it laid on a 102 degree blacktop in Connecuh county for a day.... dam near inedible glad I didn't order it but I don't like aged steaks. The rot cost extra and you got your money's worth there if you are into that.

For a date night... I like an atmosphere that has a non-chain restaurant feel. If we go for business we do Fleming's or Perry's something like that.

Bottega is good I've just haven't eaten there in a while I wore it out when I was younger. That's a personal thing.

Gianmarcos, Helen, and Ovenbird would be my top picks. I like Ovenbird it is a more interesting meal you can try different things but also a little more casual.

Hot N Hot is still probably the best restaurant in town but places can be too fancy for me and that's getting too fancy when I feel like I need to wear a coat to dinner.

Chez Fonfon is also a great place but I like to eat out back in the Summer the inside always seems too crowded for me.

Gianmarcos food is one of the best in town just hard to get in there. I bounce in there and sit at the bar the wife don't mind. We will sit at the bar a lot of places when we go out to eat on short notice.

Automatic always disappoints IMO. Best thing in there are some raw Oysters. I don't think it is good but I am always disappointed with the old snapper, redfish, etc. You gonna have to hit me with something different. It comes down to what the specials are for me there.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
