Dining near Pier Park

[seagrover]

We had dinner last night at The Pasta Grill on Front Beach - wonderful Italian - very reasonable prices - extensive menu - real Italian spoken!!!

Or, if you have time to run up to West Bay, possibly encounter a short wait for a table, and run back down to PCB, there is Boondocks...

My last trip to Boondocks was below average. Two hour wait for a table (no exeragertion), mediocre service and food that was just so-so. No way in heck would I go there if I wanted to make it to the movie on time.

seemed fine to me the other night.

Seemed fine to me as well. The seats are comfortable, the floors aren't sticky and there is a self-serve butter station for your popcorn.

There is a Panara's Bread in Pier park as well. Carrabas and Longhorn are great choices.

I am glad it seemed good to you two as I went very early on and it may be different now. I will say it was very clean and the people were nice. The point I was making was in regards to projection mainly. I enjoy digital projection theatres with DLP technology if I am going to the movies and when I was there the Grand didn't have it. Like I said, I am a self-proclaimed movie theatre snob . Sorry for the pseudo-tangent :leaving:

I saw a movie there recently and enjoyed it. Good sound and picture, but I also grew up watching a black and white 5" TV with a rotary dial and on/off knob.
