That being said, I chose a reputable chain seafood restaurant Bonefish Grill, 180 S Roselle Rd, Schaumburg IL. I've eaten in the Bonefish many times in various locations, however this was my first time at this particular one. It was very crowded for a Tuesday, in fact it was just 2 of us & we had to wait for a table which surprised me. Once seated, & handed a menu, I realized why they were so crowded on a Tuesday. It was Lobster Tuesday & it seemed like that's what everyone was ordering. I mean a lobster tail meal for $14, you can't beat that. So My companion & I joined them. We both ordered the lobster tail dinner, lobster bisque soup and I had Jasmine rice. The saying "you get what you pay for" is so true. Who gets a lobster dinner for $14? The soup had so much sherry in it we couldn't eat it for fear of getting a DWI driving back to the hotel. The jasmine rice was mushy & the lobster tails were water logged. How disappointing. The best thing was the bread & pesto sauce. The manager came over & wanted to give us another water logged lobster tail which we graciously declined, he did remove the soup from our bill because we barely touched them. Needless to say we both left there still hungry after paying $36 for dinner plus the tip. To be fair, we generally enjoy the food we get at the many Bonefish Grills we've visited in the past, but not at this particular one.San Juan, Costa Rica

Chicago's Dinner Bell
Chicago has plenty of restaurants to choose from, as well as in the surrounding suburbs. You can go dressed casual, after five, shirt required or shoes required. It all depends on what you want to eat, and where you want to eat it. Chicago is world renown for their Italian Beef which I must say is rightly earned, but that's for another post, I had a taste for seafood this particular evening. Now one of my rules in choosing to eat seafood when I travel is to make sure the place I'm visiting has water flowing by it. It can be one of the great lakes, an ocean even a large river (like the Mississippi), but some large body of water. I'm not going to look for a seafood restaurant in North Dakota.
