    I don't know any better, but I have to assume there's SOMETHING better than two random chains.

    I wouldn't call Chiefs a "random chain", it's been a Greenville staple for decades and to my knowledge it's only got it's one location near the Interstate around Haywood Mall.

    need a semi-nice, modern, possibly hipster, good restaurant for valentine's day. Not looking to drop over $20 per person. Thoughts?

    Trappe Door might be within your range if you don't get alcohol. They have great beer there but the prices can be pretty steep.

    Good choice, but I don't know how you go there and not get the beer, which will make the meal MUCH more than $20 per.

    Mussels and frites are great, and a classic Belgian dish. But their carbonade flamande is also very good, and any of the savory crepes would be a great and inexpensive choice as well.

    Restaurant week was nice, hit up Soby's and Lazy Goat on the somewhat cheap. Both were outstanding. I'd been to Soby before, but Lazy Goat was a first.

    I don't know, I like TD just for uniqueness if not anything else. Can't really get that kind of cuisine anywhere else in G'ville.

    Try Nose Dive. Similar to Trappe Door, but better IMO

    I wasn't real impressed with Trappe Door personally, the fries and aioli's is more gimmick than substance imo. Fries weren't even great. Aioli's were meh. Was so unremarkable I can't even tell you what my or my lady's entree was.

    Want to try Nose Dive, but haven't had the chance.

    Guess you'd have to love French food, but trust me, their braised short rib dish is one of the best I've ever had....and that's saying a lot.

    I thought the seafood there was very pedestrian. Good atmosphere though.

    I'm a big fan. But after all, it combines two of my greatest loves - Belgian beer and French food - into one basement.

    Heard about the Owl and pass it all the time going to my gf's (she lives in Taylors), but I've yet to try it. Hope to go soon because I've heard it's really good.

    Have you been Tigers?

    Not yet. My boss is obsessed with both and has me wanting to try them. I know the owl is known for their liquor drinks and crazy experimental food.

    So what is everybody doing tonight?

    Thankfully, my gf doesn't like going out on V-day so I'm going to grab a bottle of wine after work and she is making kabobs tonight (I will do the grilling of course).

    You can make things called reservations for specific times so you don't have to wait
