A Sea Of Red

Crown Sterling has been the standard in town for decades. But new challengers have pushed the iconic steakhouse in recent years.

Cityview is gone not that it will matter...Millstone Tea Room hmmm good.

Depot probably fits under casual dining better than it does in fine dining.

and technically Crown Sterling is known as simply "The Crown" these days

I believe Faria's closed and the property is for sale.

Thanks for the update, badger. I'll bet you are pleased to see Millstone getting some love.

Any place that has a walk up salad bar should not be on this list... let alone getting most of the votes.

Don't usually frequent fine dining establishments...I'm just too cheap. Did go to the Crown a month ago, thanks to a gift certificate someone gave us. Had the filet, which was very good, but the atmosphere was horrible, and when we left, our eyes were burning and our clothes smelled like we had cooked our own meals on the grill. That's not acceptable for a fine dining restaurant. Not to mention the walk up salad bar, that couldn't compete with Country Cookin' or a Golden Corral. The atmosphere was horrid, as well. I understand it's got a legacy here, but the place is stuck in the 70s. Huge disappointment for us, just glad we didn't actually pay for the meal

I do want to clarify, the service at the Crown was exceptional. While it sounds like I only frequent 'cheap' restaurants, I worked as a cook at a high-class steak house while in college, that was very highly rated, with customers out the door most every night, so I've seen it done right.

City View is gone and Gerald's has been added. Double check your vote.

The Depot Grille???

It's no where near a fine dining establishment. It's an Applebee's without being a national chain.

Yeah nobody that voted for the Depot has been to the Millstone Tea Room.

The Depot does have great dry rub ribs and chicken tenders.

Its saying I voted for the Depot, but I definitely did NOT. I can't stand that place even for a casual restaurant much less fine dining.

Since it appears the voting was screwed up when I made the changes, I have reset the poll. Be sure to vote once again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Crown has finally been dethroned. Give it up to the Millstone Tea Room even if it is tough to get there.
