I have read a lot of the info here but none really answers my question. I need the Best Maui Restaurant with Great View preferable outside seating and has many non fish entrees. Looking to have one outstanding dinner on Maui in the Kaanapali, Lahaina, Kapalua area with outside dining, great view and there needs to be many non seafood dishes on the menu. FYI we have read Kathryn's posts. Merimans looks good but only 5 non seafood dishes and no chicken. Do they have specials? 3 out of 4 people going do not eat any type of fish. Thanks.

Hi all, we are taking the kids to the Bronx Zoo tomorrow and are planning to go over to arthur ave afterward and had a few questions. some of the posts here on the topic are a little old so I wanted to see if any new people or even old veterans would chime in on some topics.

I was doing some research and saw that the covered market might be a good place to start after coming out of the zoo as there are 12 pretty good vendors in there. Any comments?

How far is the zoo from the actual arthur avenue?
Is parking going to be a problem is I come out of the zoo around 3 and try to find parking?
I have lived in brooklyn as a child and now in NJ and have not been to arthur ave, in my adult life I am going to have about 2-3 hours before things start closing down, what are the must hits? We are planning to bring a cooler and put food into the car to keep safe until we go home.

I was thinking it would be a good idea to try to not drive home from there at 5 on a friday night so we were thinking of eating dinner there. So where would you go if you had to have one meal there and are not coming back for a long while. I am italian and a very good cook in my own rite so basic red sauce and ckn parm is not what I am looking for. But that's good for the kids.

Thanks in advance

Hello all. My sister wants a 40th birthday party for about 50 people with dinner and dancing. We are italian so italian food is best. Nice appetizers, private room. Its going to be on Sunday from 12-4 so most restauratns would be closed. Need space to dance and they won't mind a DJ. Bring your own is preferrable obviously. $50-60 a head.

I am going to look at David Allen on saturday he has a nice room the warehouse. Also I can just get a room and have it catered, another option.

Anyone.???

Thanks.

My wife and I went to Nappa for my 40th birthday. We had dinner reservations at 8pm on friday april 27 at 8. We got there and the place was crowded, tables are right on top of eachother for two people. We were seated ordered wine and salad, soup and entrees. The salad came before the wine and the water. The waitress did not ask us how things were once. The steak frittes was ordered medium rare, but came rare. Everyone around us was getting a free plate of cookies after their meal, not us, guess our great waitress forgot. Check sat on the table over 5 minutes waiting for someone to process it. Very bad experience. We were staying at a lovely bed and breakfast in nappa and told the people there what happened they said they were thinking of going there but won't now. You would think that for a Thomas Kellerman restaurant this would be better, but I guess when he's getting 250 a person at the other two restaurants he can let this place slide. I suggest you stay away from here.
