Gail's Pick: On the outskirts of Union Square is new-ish restaurant Fish & Farm - voted best burger by 7 x 7 Magazine. It's inside the Mark Twain restaurant - a little bit random, but a very cute restaurant with a tight menu with some great choices. Big portions were the theme, with American traditional food like burgers, fried chicken, steak, fish. The waiter was a friendly sommelier who was in love with the wine that Julia brought (Mt Veeder Winery) and spent a good deal of time perfectly airing it. After a much too long hiatus, Restaurant Club was back in action! We stuffed ourselves, though, on this heavy American fare. Every entree was delicious, though.
Restaurant Club started in May 2005 with Julia, Gail, Dionne and Stephanie, who all take turns picking the restaurant of their choice. Three main rules: (1) the person choosing must pick a restaurant they've never been to; (2) ordering dessert is mandatory and (3) guests must be female.
