In S FL, I like Chops Lobster Bar followed by Capital Grill for steaks. Also tried III Forks recently and liked it. I liked Abe & Louie's but had a couple of bad experiences there. Long enough ago that it might be time to try them again, although I'm still kinda pissed. Domus in Boca is very good semi-fancy Italian, and I especially like the veal parm. I also like Lynora's in downtown WPB and Hillstone in Coral Gables.

In Asheville, we really liked Corner Kitchen but they let us down this past trip. Luella's BBQ, Vinny's (homestyle Italian) and Carmel's are always good. We tried a Red Stag Grill for breakfast and it was great.

I'm a pretty picky eater and think it is best to have several "favorite" restaurants. In my experience it is rare to find a place that has consistently good food and service visit after visit, year after year. They all seem to screw up eventually.
