New restaurant ideas?

[bex77]

Two restaurant questions for you:

Check out my list of ten places I want to try and where I've been recently.

A. any opinion on the new places?

B. any of your favorites not on my lists?

The best food was the two pound boiled lobster at Yankee Lobster Eatery. But there were a lot of close seconds!
