This is probably the longer list of all. By affordable I mean "great value without breaking the bank".The fabulous part is a more complex attribute: it can be the food, the atmosphere, the decor, or all three combined. Each has something that stands out and makes you want to go back.
All entries in this list are highly recommended, with the caveat that without wine (alcohol in general) your check will turn instantly cheaper. But then part of the fun is gone...
