I am honestly not trying to be flip or put down any place or person. I have been a strong advocate of getting a really nice place here and really hope one comes and we support it. There are some good places to eat, I like Lopez, Palmer, Cane Garden, Sukura, and a few others. But IMHO none of them come close to being upscale.

I would describe an upscale place as one with an excellent menu, excellent service, many different nightly specials, a well known highly rated chef, an outstanding wine list, white cloth table cloths and napkins, and a place everyone who went raved about how good it was.


Me, too. Bonefish is a good restaurant, but not upscale IMHO. I'd like my fish to be fresh, if it's a daily special. Not fresh = no fish. I'd like a beautiful rib-eye on the bone, a baked potato that hasn't been microwaved, creamed spinach that is freshly made. Sounds like I'd want a Peter Luger's here. As for a good soup, a real, honest-to-goodness Lobster Bisque, like Claudio's in Greenport, NY.
