They really need to be in areas where people are still working and making decent money & traveling from other area cities.
That's not the answer I was hoping for but it sounds right and I trust your intuition and experience.

I couldn't find prices for Legacy but the reviews are excellent.

Does that seem right?

I haven't been to Bone Fish. I had a couple of very good meals at Legacy. I found the room very loud.
Is Bone Fish loud?
It could also be OES [older ear syndrome].


I enjoyed the Cotillion too. It's something a little different, charming and feels more southern. I don't think you will be disappointed. I'm not a dessert person but those that are rave about their desserts. [not as loud to me either--not the raves, the room]
