Does anybody know?
If you mean the red line addison stop, then walk up to Clark St. There are tons of restaurants to eat at. Everything from Bar Louie to Goose Island Brewery to Vines on Clark to Chen’s to Raw Bar to Matsuya. Lots.
If you mean the Brown line Addison stop, there is much less. There is an Italian Pasta restaurant East of the L that is supposed to be good.

My wife and I are looking to attend to a romantic evening dinner in one of the fine dining restaurants in our cruise – the ones that require you to dress formal. How much to anticipate in drinks (couple of glasses of wine) and food (starter, meal and dessert)?
There’s a set "service fee", can’t remember exactly what it is, probably $20-30 per person. It’s unclear whether an additional tip is expected [that's a frequent topic of discussion at CruiseCritic.com]. Drinks are extra. I don’t believe you need to dress in formal attire unless that’s the dress code for the night you dine there. I haven’t dined in the premium restaurant on Ecstasy, but did so on the Miracle – WOW! Complete with sunset over Belize!
Have a great cruise!!
I am interested in which cuisines (Filipino, Chinese, Italian…etc.) we can find in Manila concerning fine-dining restaurants. Which ones are the most important ones and in what order; if someone could guess and give me an answer specifying it in %, let’s say what percentage of fine-dining restaurants is Chinese, Filipino, French…that would be great.
Thank you for your help in advance.
I also would be glad to find out that what kind of food (which cuisines) local people prefer, and that what tourist in general go for.
are you conducting a survey in terms of marketing and entreprenuerial purpose?…
well,…here’s an advice…filipinos always love there own taste and cuisine…for example they love chickens whether be cooked or marinated,…the best example is that…look at the philippine fastfood giants like jollibee, max’s and mang inasal, they serve wide arrays of filipino tastes and delicacies like adobo, sinigang,kaldereta, pancit…etc. etc.
filipinos in general looooove foods!, and they will eat on whatever they may eat, just look at the streets of manila,…it is hosted with with rampant street foods like fishballs, kikiams, and kwek kwek,…..if you are in the philippines….with the money that you could spend you will never get hungry…
chinese foods are also popular…like pancit, lumpia,siopao, chao-fan
mmmmm…now im hungry
Hi, I will be taking 2 kids to Disney later this month, and I was told to make reservations for dining in the restaurants inside the park. We have purchased the meal plan for 4 days. Can someone recommend any good restaurants to experience? The ages of the 2 kids are 5(girl) and 7(boy). Many thanks,
Joann
Here are some of our favorite places to eat. Most are in the parks, some not.
Chef Mickey’s – Contemporary resort. The best character meal around. Food is above average, but Mickey and the gang come right to the table for pictures and autographs. An easy way to make sure you get to see the Mouse.
Sci-Fi Diner in MGM – You sit and eat in a car while watching a black and white Sci-Fi movie. Good food, great atmosphere. My kids love this place.
50’s Prime Time Cafe in MGM – Another great place. Food was really good. Decor is like a 1950’s style house, and your server is either "Mom" or "Auntie" or "Uncle." We ate there on our last trip in April and are planning to do it again in March. You will be told to keep your elbows off the table, and you better eat all your veggies or no dessert! My wife didn’t eat all her veggies and they brought them back to her with whipped cream for her dessert. A lot of fun.
Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom – Character meals with Pooh and the gang. Pricey but worth it.
Mexico in Epcot – great food if you like Mexican. Authentic food, great atmosphere, stuff to eat for the little guys (my kids don’t like spicy food.)
Tony’s Town Square in Magic Kingdom – GREAT Italian food. Fun place to eat, based on Lady and the Tramp.
Japan in Epcot – meal is cooked right at your table by your own chef. My kids had a blast.
1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian – Character meal with Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins and her crew. We are eating Easter dinner here this year.
That is only a few, there are tons of other places to eat. I would suggest going to the Disney website and using the dining finder for each place to eat in each park. Another place for some great info on everything WDW has to offer is the DISboards. The disboards is a message board website all about going to Disney. You can get restaurant reviews, ask questions, get advice, trip reports, resort reviews, tips for avoiding crowds, and much more all for free. I put both links below.
Hope this helps, have a great trip!!
I’ve gotten some great ideas, but wanted more opinions. I was thinking kind of like go out to dinner somewhere cool and interesting. Teppanyaki’s been done, so is there any other cool dining experience that could be done? Dinner shows maybe or any nice restaurant? Price dosen’t matter. Something with a menu that’s not to sophisticated (like not mainly prime beefs and lobster or whatever, if that makes sense) something with a decent range of food for teenagers. But I want it to be pretty classy-ish :S

I think this is a fun experience – still packed at midnight
Yes, no (you don’t tip), or you always tip the same amount?
Does it matter if your waitress / waiter is attractive or is it the service?
I tip 20 percent if the service is good. If the service is not good, it goes down from there. It doesn’t matter what the server looks like. It’s definitely the service. The better the service, the better the tip. Also, it doesn’t impress me when people take orders and don’t write them down. Most of the time, something is always forgotten. If the order is not right, the tip goes down also.
But I will say this. My husband and I have gone out to several different places and the waitress does nothing but flirt with him and ignore me. The tip left is usually a penny. And they need to quit calling people hon and honey. I don’t mind when my husband calls me that, but I don’t want to hear it from another female. And don’t hang around our table chit chatting. That’s not part of their job.
But I do not believe in tipping at a buffet. for someone putting a glass of water on my table and some plates. That’s part of their job.
either is fine. Why do you like dinig there? Is it the service and food, just the food , the atmosphere, prices, what?
Small restaurants, definitely. I used to have one, so I support the little guy, not corporations if I can help it. Plus, the food at chains is all the same wherever you go. The recipes are all standardized so you get the same ribs at TGIFridays in Seattle that you get in Miami. Boring. At least the little guys have some variety and things you don’t expect. And they work a lot harder too.
For many years I’ve heard about the simple rule of tipping 15%. But I’ve also heard it’s 20%. What about cheap restaurants? What about if you’re dining alone? Just think…At a cheap restaurant dining alone you could get out for $10. Surely $1.50 to 2.00 is not enough. So…thoughts on all the different rules you know of?
There ae several things to factor i when you decide the tip amount:
1. Were you greeted promptly and your order taken?
2. Was your waitress attentive and thorough?
3. Was your drink refilled and your table cleared promptly?
4. Was your order correct, and if not, remember the waitress does not cook the food, but did she offer to have the problem fixed for you?
5. Was the bill brought when you asked?
If yes, then a 15-20% tip is considered the normal, but remember, the server only makes $3 per hour, so any tip more than that is greatly appreciated. If your service was substandard, then reduce the tip or talk to the manager.
I am a server myself, adn I try to make sure each customer is treated as I expect to be treated when I go out. I am a very picky customer, because i expect more. But these are just some guidelines to help.
The Melbourne city one has recently closed
Same question for NSW … haven’t seen an open one for a long time. Our two local ones closed at least three years ago.
