I love the Ale House and don't laugh, CiCis.

No laughing here. Cheap good eats and beer at one and really cheap eats at the other. Thier business is up at both places so they have yet to raise prices. If anyone is around on Father's Day Miller's Alehouse offers up a great steak and/or KingCrab Legs special.

Maggianos for italian

It is very, very reasonable at lunch 13.95-15.03 pp and the food is very good. Not really gourmet but very good. They will pack up what you do not eat also. Trust me you will definately not eat it all.

Dr. Phillips area: Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, Morton's, Roy's, Cedar's, Melting Pot, Moonfish, Too Jays (for lunch or decadent breakfast). We've stopped going to Season's 52 as it has really gone downhill since the reopening after the fire.

Other areas: Ran Gitsu for the BEST Japanese food in Central (if not all) Florida, Ceviche for an incredible selection of tapas, and Antonio's.

Hope that helps a bit.

Can you give a bit longer review of Cedars? I always drive by and am intrigued, but need more info to convince my friends to go. Thanks!

I have to agree with others here, Seasons 52 was wonderful!

I had the most delicious risotto at Bergamos.

My husband took me to Berns Steakhouse in Tampa last year for our Anniversary and Wow! That was the most DELICIOUS steak dinner I've had in my life!

It's well worth the 1hr drive and I do suggest reservations.

I also suggest having dessert there upstairs. VERY private and romantic.
While you're there, ask about the tour. they show you their kitchens and the wine cellar.

Here's their website for anyone interested...

Just came back last night and we ate at the new Flippers in the Crossroads Shopping Center twice! The new place is very nice. Both times the pizza's were great! We will definitely be back.

On a side note, we met one of the partners and they said that they are about to franchise out nationwide!

We also ate in Celebration at the Market Street Cafe and I was less than impressed. Everyone agreed Flippers was better. We did see an alligator in the pond though while we were there.

After dinner we got ice cream at Kilwins and it was, well, ice cream. The price was better than Ghiardelli's for pretty much the same thing.
