Watch for places adding "Tax" which is really a service charge....seeing it more and more often again. Check menu prices in places before you eat..we've found out we can have an excellent gourmet meal now at "The Clubhouse at Frenchmans" for the same price as a really cr%$py meal with bad service in a so called "local " place ( one that adds service charge for takeaway BTW). Ask about "market price" for lobster before you pay $100 for one like a friend of ours did..and ,no, it was not huge.Drink prices seem to go up and up..$4 and $5 beers are quite the norm now in roadside shacks..delighted to see the prices that we'll be paying at " Rita's Coolout"..refreshing. Some places are still wonderful but they are the higher end eateries which, as said, are now about equal to the simple places we used to go for local cuisine...$44 for a takeaway steak and fries?? Sharkey's has been a refreshing new find and highly recommended..Capriccio in RT has some of the best value, best tasting, pizza and pasta and we love Brandywine and , of course, The Dove..and , of course, Bananakeet..Just some "food" for thought!
