RestaurantSuggestions

I'm compiling an annotated list of restaurants to pass out to the 2006 AYEers. Based on yuor own AYE dining experiences, if there's a restaurant that worked well for you, list it here with some useful notes. (And if there's one you recommend avoiding, list that, too, but make it clear it's negative, and why.) - JerryWeinberg 2006.02.17

Actually, I only know some of the chains as not all of them exist in my part of Canada. Based on that, some of our friends from outside North America might not know most of them. I was introduced to Sweet Tomatoes last year and was delighted to find so much good salad stuff. SherryHeinze 2006.03.09
