Whats the best fine dining restaurant in the area?

[shellsd]

I guess it depends on how you define fine dining too. I love good food but not stuffiness. If you want hoity toity, then Rey's is pretty good too.

The restaurant at Carolina Inn?

Rye's food was not very the last time we went there! I don't mind hoity toity, but the food better be good and it really wasn't. I've had better steaks at Outback.

Second Empireand Saint Jacques. And I would put St j's above the others in terms of experience and quality.

Rey's is nowhere close..can't believe it's even been suggested in this thread.

The last time I was at Rey's was years ago just shortly after Ruth Chris moved. It was good back then. Has it gone down hill?

I'd put it on par with Applebees and TGIFridays. Seriously.

Ooh, and they're open on my birthday (Dec. 24) with a feast, no less. I think I'll tell my wife that's where I want to go this year. Thanks for the tip.
