Some stuff a bit pricey.......depending on what you’re used to I guess.
Bar menu looks pretty good.

My wife was just in Santa Cruz.
She went to Pizza My Heart, long time Santa Cruz place.
Large pizzas are $35........... ouch........wouldn’t feed 4 people...........probably would feed Drafter....

Not many choices and a bit pricey. Long ride to get there too.

The Gris is a classic. Dining room menu pricey, bar menu is spot on. I live a stone's throw from there, if you ever visit, I’m buying your first drink.

Plus Sea Chanteys every Monday night!

this better not happen without me!
Tony and I tried to do a quick coffee meeting a while back when he was heading to the Cape but it didn't work out.
And you, you're an acquired taste.

Donna and I ate several times at the Historic Revere Tavern in Paradise PA (near Lancaster). It pre-dates the Gris by 26 years (1740 compared to 1776). Interesting place but very pricey.

BTW - WRONG BOARD NOOB!!!!

Sounds like a plan- of course I'm busier than Frank - he just retired.

You must've meant 36 years, or you're terrible at math. Which is it? Herfing

Wouldn't look expensive if it were here.

Wife and I had burgers and 2 cocktails not too far from here and paid $76 (including tip.)

Actually for a smorg we prefer Shady Maple in Blue Ball (20 minutes from Miller's). Much larger selection and better food. We like surf & turf night on Tuesdays. $23.99 for multiple versions of shrimp, clams, mussels, oysters, fish, fillet mignon, NY strip, brisket, salad/soup bar, PA Dutch cakes, pies and desserts. As seniors we get 10% off and gratuity is included, so no tipping permitted. Oh, and on Birthdays, your meal is FREE. Monday (steak and shrimp night) was Donna's birthday. Paid a total of $18.85 for the two of us, beverage, dessert, tax and gratuity included.

Just one of the reasons I rarely go out to eat anymore........stupid prices.....and all too often, not impressed with the food...........my wife has spoiled me.

That's one thing about that area...Lots of places to eat and plenty to see.

FUN FACT: You can enjoy Intercourse only 15 minutes after experiencing Blue Ball!

(For those not familiar with the area, no, I am not kidding. The real town of Blue Ball, PA really is about 15 minutes by car from the real town of Intercourse, PA. Many jokes have been made over the decades, yes indeed.)
