Do you want great food or great prices? If I offered to buy you dinner ANYWHERE and pay for it, which place would you choose then, based on the FOOD and not the PRICE?

Lopez constantly gets mentioned to me by people, but the food there just does not measure up to something like the Angler's Club upstairs from Red Sauce. However, the food at Palmer IS on a par with Angler's Club, and the service is close to the same because the staff is happy and managers abound on the floor. Both Chef Matt at Angler's and Chef Lucy at Palmer are creative, accommodating, and something to look forward to days in advance of your reservation.

IMO, if you want good food and a good price, go to Lopez; but if you want great food and price is NOT the factor, try Palmer Legends. I recommend a cup of the lobster bisque (with chunks of lobster within) and a petite filet Oscar. Maybe a couple glasses of Meiomi Pinot Noir, if you are so inclined!
Anglers is members only I thought....
