no turnips this year, dang! :142smilie
Mariah's is very good, but it's not at the top of my list. They have a huge assortment of food, and you can look at their menu online. Very good food and in the downtown area which has had a lot of money put into it. Also downtown, you could go to 440 Main which is right on Fountain Square.
Japanese hibachi/cook in front of you: Samurai or Shogun. I like Samurai a little better. For traditional Japanese food and sushi, Yuki is the best, but they don't cook in front of you and perform. All three of these Japanese restaraunts are very good.
I think the Joker's favorite place is Montana Grill. They have very good food as well and a big selection. Dogs That Bark used to really like Rafferty's which is also very good.
We have O'Charleys and Cheddar's which are part of chains, but they are very good too.
We have a Longhorn and Lonestar for steak houses.
Not sure I know about Verdi??
