    Well Sunday Aug. 9th is my one year wedding aniversery and I wanted to take my wife someplace nice, but don't want to spend a ton of $$. Anybody know of any places around the area that fit that bill. I'm looking for something thats under say $15-$20 a plate. Thanks

    Cheescake Factory is really good for something in that price range. I've never been disappointed with anything I've had there.

    If your not worried about atmosphere, i'd take her to Capri in West Allis. Hands down best lasanga, but if your eating in it's a bit of a dive. Might be fun to orer out and go out for drinks after?

    You could try Carrabba's Italian Grill on Bluemound Road in Brookfield or on south 76th street near Southridge Mall. Yes, it's a chain, but I've never been disappointed there.

    You could also try Thunderbay just off of I-94 and Hwy F(formerly Hwy J). It's like one big comfy northwoods lodge

    I get a ticket and 6 points, so yeah, some serious sh!t.

    If one more person chimes in, a BCM cruise may be in order?

    Another is Ann's Italian in [edit-Hales Corner's--don't know the dirty souf side], next to[edit-Holtz's Chevrolet--don't know dealers that sell crummy cars ]. Quaint, cozy, quiet...and pretty decent food for a good price.

    Great atmosphere, outside seating, just an all-around good place.

    Chances in Waterford had some great ribs last time I was there. Stone building, used to be a stage coach house.

    DeCarlo's in Oak Creek, Great selection of Italian dishes, nice atmosphere.

    Antigua Mexican and Latin Restaurant This is much better than you typical chips and salsa mexican joint. You'll usually get a complimentary appetizer and a flavored shot after your dinner. Check out the menu.

    Ugh you guys are smokin crack with Capri. I ate there ONCE and will not be back. Granted, I didn't have the lasagna, but their sauce was inedible. Neither my girlfriend nor I liked it. Their garlic bread is off the chain though!

    Of course Doc Brown reccomends Carrabas... I've eaten there a few times with him and his wife, and it is quite good. If it wasn't for the neon sign out front, you'd never know it was a chain.

    As for myself, I still prefer the original Saraphinos on Whitnall + Layton. It's a little cheaper than you were looking for, but it's quite a nice atmosphere, and thier food is top-notch.

    Or you could try Crawdaddy's on 64th(ish) and Greenfield. Excellent atmosphere, excellent food. My dad's favorite restaurant of all time.

    ^dude you gotta get the lasanga family dinner at Capri, hell, until you said something right there I didn't know they had anything else on the menu!
