Fratello's

Different people have different tastes in food.

"Good" food to one may be "lousy" food to another.

The implication from your post as I read it is that one should not consider this food to be "good".

How, when and where were you appointed the arbiter of "good" food?

Can we not live in a world where we can follow our own personal tastes in food without shame being bestowed upon us by others?

We try to go to our "go to" restaurants during the week during the summer. Going on Friday or Saturday night is tricky, and can result in poor service and/or quality. My wife and I have always thought of Fratello's as being "solid", not great but consistently good. Same with the Homestead, it's sister restaurant. If you go during the weekdays, I think the results may be better. We just went to Lago last night by boat and had a nice meal. Again, I consider Lago to be solid.

Please consider Ledge Water Steakhouse in Bristol. They have been spot on this year. We've only gone during the week, but the service and food have been great.

Very well said. To take it a step further, I would say: "Can we not live in a world where we can follow our own personal (fill in the blank) without shame being bestowed upon us by others?" Differing opinions are taboo on this forum, according to the self-appointed vice webmasters and experts (in their own minds)......
