i guess the general sentiment is most of us are waiting on side line. What will happen to Porsche dealership? how are they going to survive if no one buy their cars?

We were in a tourist area in Connecticut over the Canada Day long weekend and what it cost to eat was insanity. Not going to get better with NYC coming up.

We were in St. Pete’s this past April/May and found restaurant prices not to bad. On the other hand Scottsdale Arizona, that was expensive. We were there in January for a month, and everything was way more than Florida.

People expecting 20% tips on take out. Mediocre table service scoffing at 25% and suggesting 30% on top of the already inflated menu prices and smaller portion sizes? We need a bit of a wake up call to bring back some sanity.
What I find the most insane is the tip expectation on takeout/foodcourt food similar to what you mentioned.

In sharp contrast is what I experience when I work in Nice. I general, there is no expectation of tipping at restaurants / cafe's as employees are paid at a good standard in France. I've experienced the same in Italy / Spain.

We go every 2 of 3 months as a family and we’ve never had a bad meal. Caesar salad is fresh and very tasty, fried calamari with shrimp (not the grilled one, the one below that on the menu)

Made to order focaccia, charcuterie and seafood boards, Penne Ala Vodka, Bauletti, Mushroom Ravioli, Vitello Alioli, Seafood linguini, grilled salmon and sea bream.

Deserts are good, but small for the price. Excuse the spelling above!

Reasonable price for an under appreciated wine: Campania
Radici Taurasi Riserva 2015, Mastroberardino – Campania $189

Have only three of the 2016 and 3 of his big brother in the cellar. Would have gladly added more if they were available.

Via Allegro is also a good choice with a very nice wine list.
