Some friends are in from various cities and not easily impressed. A BYO is ok if necessary. Ideally not a "fancy" place. Sun May 21 13:45:07 -0700 2006 0 AnnaBanana 1 1004967 Dish would be my pick. The New American cuisine is very good, and service is fine. It's a fairly small place with pleasant contemporary decor, relatively tight seating, and a noise level that can be high when the room is full. It is BYO, but if you prefer not to shlep your own, they have an arrangement with a nearby wine shop that will deliver your choice from a list.

It's similar to a nyc lounge a bit more money but there are some good buys great burger bean casserole (better than it sounds Echo Smallish b.y.o.c. "bring your own crowd" great tapas most 8 to 14 $ each with alot of different 50 choices from terrific flank steak nachos alot of seafood almost everything and some more Teak is literally 100 foot walk so I would check out both Echo being the least in atmosphere of the 3 but can be fun if a crowd shows up also the least expensive Thu May 25 01:20:14 -0700 2006 1004967 0 robert 1 1004968 hello: I like Teak a lot for drinks and appetizers especially, but the main courses are not bad either. Get a few orders of lamb chops if you go - they are great, also the rock shrimp. You cant go wrong with most of em and you can share a few mains if you are really hungry. seal Sun May 21 18:53:42 -0700 2006 1004966 0 seal 1 1005019 Does Red still serve food? I haven't been in a while, but I always liked the setting there, and the cosmopolitans with fresh lime juice are a favorite. Otherwise, a BYO favorite of mine is Siam Garden, thai food over in the Galleria. Also, Sogno on Broad is great. Tue May 30 14:51:13 -0700 2006 1004966 0 fornaio
