You meant Overton Square instead of Midtown, right?

Can you be a bit more specific? What kind of $$$ are you looking to spend? Any specific food types (ethnicity, allergies, stuff that's off the menu).

There is a LOT of great dining in midtown. Iris is on the higher side and has a 2-week wait (average, sometimes less) but is amazing.

For something unique and very good food, try the trolley stop (GREAT burgers). I ate there last night.

The woman and I ate at Sweetgrass sunday and hit it up fairly often - the braised ribs and duck were amazing. If you want a different menu than Sweetgrass (and decent TV/bar) check out Sweetgrass next door.

For great lunch, Kwik Check is hard to beat for both sandwiches and (chicken) bi bin bop.

I've barely scratched the surface - give us a bit more detail and we can come up with something.

I've had about 50/50 luck with alchemy in the 6 or 7 times I've been there. When it's on, it's good (their Brussel sprouts cooked in bacon are awesome) but other times, the food is off.

Are you going to have cocktails? Just you and your significant other or friends?

Other good suggestions are Central or BBQ shoppe if you want Q. Local is a very cool scene and a nice place for a meal although I think their food is a bit overpriced. (The owner is a very good friend of mine - sorry Jeff)

Personally, I'd go to Iris if you can get in and it's within budget. You will get bonus points for your significant other.

Assuming price is not an issue

Cooper Young - Tsunami or Beauty Shop for nice dining Young Ave. Deli for more pub atmosphere and a really good burger

Overton Square - Bosco's is always good, Local, Bari for Italian food.

boycott Restaurant Iris

I'll agree on BBQ Shoppe, great stuff, great sauce.

Krystal on Union/ Cleveland


What about this "Local" joint in Overton Square?

My wife has been harping on going to there before or after a game b/c she has seen it when we drive by there on the way to FEF. I'm about as interested in that as I am going on vacation in Iran, but....... happy wife, happy life

Local's good stuff. Really good brunch or dinner menu. The menu is pretty broad, but most of it is great. The beer selection is great, too.

Soul Fish (moderate price locally based casual fried fish chain), Sweet Grass in Cooper Young.

Chiwawa, Local in Overton Square. Both though a little overpriced, although Chiwawa has specials that make it better. Haven't had a chance to tear through the Overton Square lineup though. Chiwawa, Bar Louie, and Local are great places to watch games (Bar Louie has the largest number of screens of the three, but I wasn't interested in their food, so I can't attest to it).
