I especially like ethnic food. I have found two decent Thai places and 1 middle eastern place, Elias on Dixie Hwy., but not much else. Any ideas?

Excellent service. The Fiddler's Hearth was also excellent food, although the service was not as friendly. Also, we had lunch on the Notre Dame campus at the Morris Inn (I believe?). The food was excellent, but I don't think they served alcohol? Mon Jul 16 21:08:31 -0700 2007 676462 61104 barbara234 2 2773570 politos has some tasty pizza and dollar mgd's.
