Dinner

Post by Creative Name »

You have $100-$150 you want to spend for one dinner out alone. Where do you go? Assume the following:

2 people
1 cocktail a piece
Apps are not required but one is preferable
Key Lime Pie for dessert would be agreeable
Staying in Chocolate Hole so Cruz Bay area is more realistic

I know this is entirely subjective, but fun and we keep going back and forth.

Thank you for the input.

I'd second Rhumblines and add Lime Inn (enjoyed their grilled lobster and they have kick arse key lime pie)

Never been to La Tapa or Zozo's, but I know people on the forum love them as well and I think they'd be in those price ranges.

Well, anymore it seems it's not hard to drop $100 at any number of places, but I'll put in one more vote for Rhumblines. We really like the setting, even if there are no water views. The service and food have always been excellent, the drinks are killer, and there are usually good specials. Admittedly, we're not fancy folks, and I know there are fancier places, so have fun in your quest, and please let us know what you finally choose - always good to get additional input!

Chalk me up for Rhumblines - split the "Ultimate Thai Pad" entree(its huge and awesome)and leaves plenty of the budget for their tasty cocktails :wink:

Thank you for all the input. We are leaning towards Rhumblines as it is getting a lot of love and it was high on our list. Banana Deck also sounds good so we will probably have lunch there.

Has the new sushi place opened yet? How are the Sam and Jack's to go dinners?

I put in a vote for La Tapa. Never been disappointed there, but we haven't ever been to Rhumblines.

Had a great experience at Rhumblines in Feb...went to La Tapa and Zozo's as well....Rhumblines was my favorite...loved the atmosphere and the food was incredible. All three are amazing in their own way...

My vote is for Rhumblines as well, only ate there once but will take my sister and her husband there for dinner for their 20th wedding anniversary when we go in June. It's a little strange in terms of having to walk through a store to get to the restaurant though. Also make sure to make a reservation, we went with no reservations and had a long wait.

I love Rhumblines...just be sure you don't mind spicy food...a lot of the menu is very spicy, some is med spicy and very little is not spicy at all. Food is great but I have had a few things there I had a hard time with the spice level
