Bah. We like to try new places; not every one of them is going to be a winner. Besides, I think Mango's and Coconut Joe's were your suggestions and they were splendiferous. So you still have a good average.

What about that restaurant up there in North Beach? Is it Trader's? Do we want to try that?

Again for the record.
I did not really find Mamma Lucios that bad of a pick.
Food was "ok" drink was watered down but I think thats because it sat on a counter for a while and the ice melted before it was brought out.

Traders is OK. There also used to e some good places in Deale, though I can't think of the name of the place now...

I think it was changing management about a year ago....

Is Neptunes still in North Beach?

What about Calypso Bay or Skippers Pier in Deale and Pirates Cove or Thursdays in Galesville?

So I am now banned from picking a place for at least a month....though a couple of us did sort of mention the Tavern in St Leonard.....They are under new management and are serving food. I see some great looking food go by during pool league nights....though I always forget they're serving now and eat before I get there....

Like I said, it's friends that count. Only one bad pick out of many. I'd say that's a pretty good record.

It's more about the company anyway! Good service & good food, drinks, etc. are secondary.

It was merely okay.

What? You don't like chewing on fried rubberbands?

So, I've been right about a couple of Italian things.

They do have pretty good pizza. Amazingly, they are jammed almost every night. Just goes to show how desperate we are in the northern end for a sitdown restaurant.

The entire middle part of Calvert from White Sands to the beaches is severely lacking in good dining and entertainment places!
