Most Memorable Dining Experience
This question does not pertain to any one place but I wanted to ask it
anyway. Where have you eaten that left you with the most pleasant memory? It doesn't have to be fancy, expensive or the classiest. Just good food, good atmopshere and beautiful views perhaps? |

It doesn't have to be fancy, expensive or the classiest. Just good food, good atmopshere and beautiful views perhaps? It wasn't fancy. It wasn't expensive. It had no view at all --- but the Shrimp Risotto and the atmosphere will remain a high point in my restaurant recollections. It was in Sorrento, Italy, down a narrow alley, via Pieta, off the Southeast corner of the Town Piazza and then turn left into another even narrower very short, blind alley with 'La Stalla'.at the end. The atmosphere, the food, the service and the music was beyond comparison. We dined there twice and on ouir return looked forward to a third visit only to find that it is closed on Wednesdays and we had a plane to catch in Rome on Thursday. Dinner, whatever it was, on that Wednesday night was just for nourishment and eaten with a complete lack of interest. |

It doesn't have to be fancy, expensive or the classiest. Just good food, good atmopshere and beautiful views perhaps? Mine was classy, expensive (very), and fancy. And exotic. This was in Kenya, at a tent camp on the edge of Ngurraman Escarpment. There were beautiful views over the edge, but not from the food test. When we entered the test for dinner ... there were guards to prevent us from looking in beforehand ... we discovered that the china was real Wedgwood. The forks weighed like a pound apiece ... solid silver. All the serving plates were solid, sparkling white silver. The tablecloth was actually linen. We were served a delicious 7 course dinner of fancy French food that, while not exactly the best I have had, was far, far superior to anything else I have had in Africa, even at fancy hotels. The host was Richard Leaky. Doug McDonald |

My goodness, very impressive. So far, I haven't experienced anything
close to that. Memorable for me has been simple most of the time, for instance the time we had a pic nic on the side of the Mississippi outside of Hannibal, Missouri, or eating a tomato sandwich while parked at the Badlands. Also, memorable for me was eating in the Skylon Tower at Niagara Falls. Also, a very memorable meal was trying Caviar for the first time at the restuarant in Jensen Beach that was once owned by Frances Langford. Always memorable is the meal we have at Tin City in Naples, Florida. |
