No Thanks!
Unfortunately, this is one of the few Wendy's where I live. The drive through is usually slow and if it isn't slow, the food is downright cold. It's a shame because this is one of the few fast food restaurants that have half way ungreasy food.

I thought this was going to be a great restaurant when I read the menu... I love seafood in my pasta. Unfortunately, the waitor informed me that most of the seafood (especially the scallops) were imitations!! If I wanted imitation fish, I would have eaten at McDonald's! Overall, the food was pretty good - even I could cook Chicken Parmasean with shrimp. I would have liked more than 3 shrimp on my plate for what I paid. At least it is close to other good restaurants so I could get a good meal.
Pros: Honest Service
Cons: Weak menu, Pricey

I love going to the Velvet Rope on Friday Nights for Karaoke with Creoke! The Dj is fantastic and everyone really gets into it. The food is fabulous as well, they just added some new things, like the Baked Lobster Macaroni. Its delicious and creamy with large chunks of lobster. Yummy. As for drinks, I highly reccomend the Pomegranate Martini or a Velvepolitan. Both are delectable. Prices are fair and the staff is friendly and enthusiastic. The atmosphere is just all around fun. Its definitly a great place to relax or party, regardless of the night. If you've never been, ask to go upstairs! They also reserve space for parties which is nice. My friend had a birthday there and we all really enjoyed ourselves!
Pros: Good menu and fun wait staff
Cons: Too small

This place has a wonderful surrounding! The food was wonderful and the service is unbeatable. They offer live music on the weekends and a free mimosa with your Sunday Brunch. The back patio is absolutly amazing. As for the other person who doesn't reccomend Slaton's...You wouldn't know class if it bit you in the....
Pros: Everything was unbelievable!!
Cons: It's not open 24/7

A gem of a place! Fairly busy for a Tuesday night, but still lots of prompt personal service. In fact the owners even came to our table and made us feel so welcome. Wonderfully straightforward meal prepared well. The goat cheese appetizer and shrimp scampi got us off on the right start. The arugala salad was with walnuts and sliced apples was delightful, especially good and plentiful gorgonzola! My companion was pleased with the roasted beet salad. The aspargus risotto was delightful and a generous portion. Chicken saltimbocca had a delightful lemon sauce with capers and wonderfully fresh green beans. Others in our party were pleased with very fresh cheese ravioli. But save room for the delightful peanutbutter banana gelato,we had the flourless chocolate cake with it all drizzled with white chocolate. Also had cannolis and I'm no "foody" but I love to eat...oh, the ricotta was so fresh those cannolis, made me think I was back in South Boston. This place was a real treat, moderately priced and kind of a hidden gem. Will definitely be back!
Pros: Unpretentious, just careful service and great food! Never felt rushed, good fresh-tasting entrees and salads, but wonderful desserts too,
Cons: Can't come up with a one--well, I had to wait for the single men's bathroom to open, but it was clean and spacious!

Tasty Dog sells hot dogs [period.] Its hot dogs can come with slices of cucumbers and tomato, peppers, chunks of onions, and the usual ketchup and muster given your choice. I would recommend them all for the full Tasty Dog experience. It is something easy to grab on the go and the extra veggies makes you feel better about your choice of food consumption.
