I quit drinking Scotch (or anything else that's not clear).

They have a fresh catch and butcher block selection every day. Grouper, Triple, Snapper, etc. Steaks are usually flat iron, ribeye and filet.

We normally don't eat after 5PM so we go for lunch mostly.

The regular menu? It's not complete in the online version for some reason. They use Sysco and other providers for their non-specials.

But gimme the smash burger.

We take the golf cart to and fro. Uses about 10 percent of the battery for round trip. Big regret.

scotch is clear enuff for me

if I squint a little and the ice cube melts a little, that helps

if it's gotta be real clear, give me the Bombay Sapphire, with an ice cube and a citrus slice (lime, lemon, orange, tangerine)

I've noted before, there are two kinds of beer, and two kinds of liquor, clear and brown (aged).

I am pondering the best kind of restaurant to dine in when away from home in an unfamiliar location.

Chinese?

Pizza?

Burgers?

Bar food?

Major chain?

Chains can be safe... you know what to expect.   But we usually venture and try something new.. or at least attempt to try something new.   If you're in the US, we like to look at places Diners, Drive-ins and Dives have showcased as good options or guides.   We also asked around the hotel to see what they recommend.   Sandwich places are usually safe as is pizza.

We both like Asian foods a lot.  We have several Chinese places near us that are good, one is too spicy for my wife.  Our DIL (almost, some day) is from Hong Kong and we took her to all three, she liked them, or was being pleasant (which she is).  The fancier Chinese places really don't cater to take out, though I imagine they do some of it.  They still are not very expensive in a relative sense.  This place is quite good, not so much for takeout:

URBAN HAI

This place is pretty much spicy everything:

XI'AN GOURMET HOUSE, ATLANTA GA (kwickmenu.com)
XI'AN GOURMET HOUSE, ATLANTA GA (kwickmenu.com)

And this place has the coolest name:

@BIGBOSSCHINESE

They cater to students a fair bit as it's near Tech.  

I've had decent luck trying Asian places when unsure of the area.   I think bar food tends to be pretty predictable, as is pizza.  I mentioned we're headed to SD on Saturday, staying up in Carlsbad, I'm checking places near there, we'll have some dinners with eleven people present and I'll probably be footing the tab.  

If you know of any place really special in SD or north let me know.

yup, Cincy's list to me would depend on my mood

I do check to see if there's a triple D place nearby

I don't eat pizza much these days - never been a big fan of Chinese, prefer Thai 

I usually go to the bar.  I can get burgers and pizza and sammiches at most bars.  I eat a lot of wings.

Among the various Asian cuisines, I lean to Thai slightly, but I like'em all.  Chinese is so varied, I have to be careful with anything related to Szechuan because of my wife.  Vietnamese ranges from quite good to excellent in my experience.  If we count Indian as "Asian", I do really like Indian cuisine a lot.

We have two Persian restaurants near us, both are excellent in my view, and another "eastern Mediterranean/Turkish" that probably is one of the top three places to go near us for us.

Now if some brave soul would open a French bistro, nothing fancy, just good, I'd be content.

Whatever is supposed to be good?

is you’re looking for safe/consistent, probably bar food or pizza. I feel like a burger is bar food half the time anyway.

I'll look for it, we have had pretty good luck out there with restaurants in previous visits.  My wife likes to visit Solana Beach because it's replete with artsy shops.

Oddly enough, when our SIL picks a place to dine, it has often been mediocre.  He's a CIA trained chef, he doesn't work as a chef now.  When he cooks, he uses every pot in the kitchen.
