Q: What can you say about Durants? I was especially thankful that the maitre d seated us quickly, as my guest was on a 3 hour layover and we needed to get in and out quickly, and this was a Saturday evening. Had reservations at 6:45 but showed up at 6:15....packed but they seated us immediately. Love the relish tray....love the fact that the entrees are not ala carte. Great cocktails, and excellent wine by the glass selection. Prime rib served exactly the way I ordered it, and nothing but great things to say. Server, as usual, was professional and very attentive.

Q: I generally try to avoid chain restaurants, but I always cave for Maggiano's and I am never disappointed. Maggiano's is our go-to place for take out when we have family in town and I don't feel like cooking for the masses and everyone is always pleased. Tonight I decided to brave Maggiano's alone. With four children. Props to the hostess - she didn't blink an eye and assured me she had the perfect spot "out of the way" for me and my brood. I have a daughter with celiac disease (no gluten!) so Maggiano's might seem like an odd choice for us but they serve gluten free pasta! The last time we were visiting with a rather large party, the chef even came out to check on us and see who had the gluten sensitivity and if we had any questions about food preparation. My daughter was beaming. Tonight I ordered eggplant parm off the classic pasta menu and currently if you order off the classic pasta menu you get to choose another pasta menu item to bring home - my working husband was very pleased to come home to DELICIOUS gnocchi in vodka sauce even though he missed our dinner out. Drinks for myself and the kiddos came out quickly and our server was very accomodating - one of my children ordered the grilled chicken breast with garlic mashed potatoes - "but no chicken, please." The waitress thoughtfully suggested we just order a side of mashed potatoes instead. The children's menu has a lot of variety and includes a drink and dessert with their meal - all for $5.95 - it really can't be beat. The servings are enormous and my son is the only one who can actually finish his meal. I am pleased to say that not only was dinner taken care of this evening, but lunch for tomorrow is covered as well. I think our bill was about $34 - no complaints here! Definitely check out Maggiano's - very family friendly, very helpful staff, and, of course, delicious food.

Q: If ur looking for street tacos; this place will do! Got the family pack carne asada ($16) that came with 15 yummy mini flour tortillas. The carne asada was good. would've loved more marinade in it. And just to feel like I was spring breaking it up in Mexico; got some coronitas. ($1.80 each) The setup is a lil awkward when ordering; kind of cramped and you don't pay until you get ur order . Outside patio was perfecto with music pumpin'. Everything is served up in styrofoam; so ur gonna have to sacrifice the environment people!, for some yummy food. Dress: anything goes, from jeans to ladies in their cha cha shoes and pinata dresses :-\

Q: Don Guido's is Sunnyslope's hot dog place. I'm not especially a hot dog gal, but Don Guido's offers something else to Sunnyslope too: Italian Beef sandwiches! This was my lunch today: a delicious Italian beef sandwich paired with garlic fries! The beef in my sandwich was not fatty or metallic colored like I've experienced in other places. I really enjoyed it and will definitely have it again (but will probably ask for it a little more wet, next time)! But, seriously, let me tell you about those fries...!!! Don Guido's garlic fries exceeded my expectations!! The fries were nice and crisp, not greasy. And, while I expected a shake of garlic salt to qualify for "garlic fries," I was delighted to find them topped with REAL minced garlic and parsley. A lot of it too! People were coming into my office from down the hall to get in on the action! We've polished them off, so you'll have to make a run to Don Guido's and get your own. TOTALLY worth the trip!
