hi underhill

i checked with my hubsand and he said it was may, so a few months ago...

we just tried martini house last weekend- great setting delicious food, but small menu. we've eaten at all the others on this list and agree that you have a lot of perfect choices.

what was special about martini house was sitting outside in the garden...they also do wine flights with meals, which was always my favorite part of cia anyway.

i'm sure you'll enjoy wherever you go. whatever may be off for one meal will be on for the next...

we agree with the poster who raved about tra vigne - in 10 years (or close to it) we've never been disappointed there (except in that we used to just walk in...)

We're taking a friend as a birthday treat, but I have new limitations on food because of an ulcer. So I can't be as adventurous as usual. Given that, any recommendations? I probably need a restaurant with a good variety of menu options.

Hello underhill, I was going to post but didn't....but since you did....yes, please be careful regarding what you eat!!! Take good care of yourself.

sorry about the ulcer-

celadon calls its food 'global comfort'- i think you can find a menu online.

the setting is best at lunch when you can sit outside and look at bricks and a sliver of the river...
