What is your favorite restaurant?

When I go out, I want Great food first, then great service, then a great atmosphere. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled with Charlie Brown's - I found their food to be boring.

My favorite chain is Houlihans - great all around, including price wise.

I'm also a big fan of the small privately owned ethnic restaurants - there's a great indian place just down the street here.

Smoking is also an issue for me - I'm Praying for a no-smoking law to get passed in Pa. I am about a hundred times more likely to go to a restaurant if they don't allow smoking at all and I WON'T go to a restaurant that doesn't at least have a non-smoking section.

O Charley's

Cheesecake Factory, ESPNZone, Macaroni Grill, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Chuck's Steakhouse if it still exists :)

I like Elephant Bar, Mimi's, Cheesecake Factory, Lonestar Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Ray's Seafood (local joint where they give you 2# of crab legs, mmm yummy)

We don't have many chain restaurants here in the UK (I'm purposely not including such non-restaurant places as McDonalds, Burger King, Pizza Hut, etc) - and that's the way I like it!

My favourite restaurant of the moment is Oloroso - the chef is great and the food is wonderful.

This had made me so hungry!

There are a few chains that I like a lot... the Rainforest Cafe makes me happy; I love theme restaurants like that! And I love Cheesecake Factory, mmm. Delicious! A mall near my school has both of those, hooray!

I also like the smaller restaurants... at home, there's one called the AB&G, mmm. Great burgers! And another one, called the Iron Horse, where they put the cheese inside the burgers... so tasty. And Kazuki... mmm sushi! I need my sushi every now and then.

Down here at school, there's a great stromboli place called Stuff Yer Face (it's where that Mario guy on the Food Network got his start). And in NYC, I love the atmosphere at Jeckyll n' Hydes', but it's rather overpriced. There's another place in NYC, I think it's called Angel Share? My roommates brought me, and it's got really good Japanese food.

It's too impossible to narrow it to one, but those are my favorites!

I prefer non-chain restaurants. We had a wonderful experience at the Palace Restaurant in the Cincinnatian Hotel in Cincinnati. Great food, great service. This was probably three moths ago, I think the chef is still there.

I like one called El Palomar. Its an upscale Mexican. A huge room with a 30' ceiling, killer margaritas, and the only good crab enchiladas around. Most places use canned crab. Ugh.
