Restaurant Recommendations

[Parker]

Hmm. BLT sounds and looks good (just checked their site), but need to stay out in Santa Monica area. Thanks though.

Anyone have a good lunch recommendation for Indy? Will be a mid-afternoon (2 or so) lunch and I was hoping to have a decent sit down place and be able to get a few courses.

Dunaways http://dunaways.com/lunchA.htm at 351 S. East Street. Palomino is also a decent option.

Had omakase at 15 East last night. Really good and lives up to its reputation. If you can, get a seat in front of Masa-san.

Going to The Breslin for dinner tonight. Any thing special to order? Avoid?

I wouldn't get the burger. The terrine boards are pretty good but its a lot of food. The pig's foot is great but very heavy. The fries are amazing. Everything there is pretty heavy actually....

15 East is one of my favorites, Masato is great. Next time let the rather flamboyant maÃ

tre d' pick out the Sake selections for you, he does a great job and gets ridiculously excited about it.

Thanks for the tips, but as it turns out I had to cancel.

Well we wouldn't have gotten to Dunaways until 2:15, and since they close lunch service at 2:30, I didn't feel right going. So instead we drove down College Avenue and went to a place called Binkley's (corner of College & Kessler). I was expecting it to be lame and have bad food, but it was actually nice. Really good wine by the glass selection and the food was prepared and seasoned well, if unadventurous. You should give it a try if you're in Broad Ripple and need a quick casual bite.

^^^I've passed it many times, but have never stopped. I'll have to give it a try.

Any thoughts on a good BYOB in Philadelphia? A reservation will be a must, can really be anywhere that is accessible via a reasonable taxi ride (i'm thinking somewhere between the river and 40th street, not crazy far south or north).
