I would take my entire staff (12 employees and no $200 would not cover it but it would help) to Petit Louis in Baltimore. I would do this for several reasons:
1. we are in a service business thats been hit hard by the down economy and the slow down in the real estate market – would lift their spirits.
2. I am always looking for a training opportunity and The Charleston Group (owners of Petit Louis) have the same service philosophy that we do, it would be a great learning experience for my team to receive the kind of service that they strive to give.
3. Petit Louis is not my favorite (although one of them) or the best value fine dining restaurant in baltimore but its one where the service is top notch and the price is within my budget for a team event.

I pick Leonardos 706 in Gainesville Florida…as well as amazing food it is run by great people who are hard core Obama supporters and will have my loyalty forever for that…they make potatoe latkes on request that are to die for and I had a raspberry torte there that just made me really, really happy when I ate it..

I would love to spend $200 at the Trading Post in Taos, New Mexico. Although it sounds a little downscale, it is truly a fine dining experience. The Trading Post is one of the oldest and most successful restaurants in Taos. They use fresh ingredients and offer consistently excellent food. The local artists whose work is displayed there enhance the ambiance, and the owners give back to the community.

Gary Danko in San Francisco, CA!
It’s been on my list of restaurants to try since I moved to this foodie mecca of a city and I’d love to experience this SF institution firsthand. The tinted windows really pique the interest

I would almost definitely choose DC Coast in Washington, DC, if I were still at home. Their dishes are always delightful, and I absolutely fell in love with the creme brulee dessert the last time I was there.

However, since I don’t live in the DC area anymore, I actually would like to put my vote in for Jeanty at Jacks, in San Francisco. The puff pastry-covered tomato soup was _heavenly_ and I must admit that every dish that I tried while I was there last time was well cooked and beautifully presented. It also has a light, airy atmosphere that melts away the worries and cares of a stressed out law student. At least temporarily, anyway.

It’s an almost impossible decision because there are few places where I [i]wouldn’t[/i] eat! But I have to say that right now I’m leaning towards Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Getting out of the city for a day and wandering around the farm, getting to see where your dinner is coming from, then enjoying a great meal (without even having the stress of having to decide for myself from the menu what to get). Sounds like the perfect day.
