Thinking of the Parents buying Lunch

[lv1964]

So, here is the situation. My wife and I are celebrating our 25th anniversary. My parents will undoubtedly ask to buy a meal, we prefer lunch with them. Unlike my wife and I , both parents don't really appreciate foodie restaurants (they cost to much, are to fancy, etc.) and my Mother doesn't/won't eat seafood. Price is not really an object and we all live here.

So ... what recommendations from the Chowhound world?

P.S. These are also considerations when we take them out for special occasions. They usually pick Viva Mercado or Yardhouse. Both are good choices but not for our anniversary.

You might consider DW Bistro as an option. I have only dined there once, but it was very good. I had the Jerk Chicken salad it had grilled squash, jicima, orange segments and a very nice mango vinagrette. The person I was dining with had the Jerk Seared Ahi salad - he said it was outstanding. Service was good, they were quite crowded, so depending on the day of the week I would recommend reservations. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, salads and other options.
