I was telling my therapist I'd finally figured out the Obama puzzle. (I'd been complaining for months that I simply couldn't fathom how, after everything that had happened, people were still defending Obama.)
But I'd had an ephiphany. "You know, it's like when you're stuck in a really bad relationship, and all your friends are telling you how crummy this guy is, and you're still making excuses. I finally realized it's because you look at each incident in a vacuum, at the micro level where it's really easy to examine the context and rationalize things instead of seeing this huge consistent mosaic of their behavior.
"It's when you finally make a sudden shift to the big picture that it finally hits you: Hey, this guy really is a bum," I said.
"Not many people have the ability to step outside themselves and see themselves clearly," he said. "That's how they get stuck. And if you tell them they're stuck, they get offended because you're telling them what to do." Which is true.
Still, I wonder when rest of the American people are going to wake up.

So, I'm back!!! I knew you'd be happy.
Anyway. What was the first CD you purchased? Mine was "Sargent Pepper," which strikes me as interesting because the first album I bought was "Meet the Beatles." (I waited a long time to buy a CD player, to avoid the technology shuffle at the beginning. Or, because I had no money. I don't remember.)

David Atkins over at Digby's place:
So in the midst of this giant selloff, where did the masters of the universe decide to put their money? Why, treasuries, of course:
Treasury bond yields are plunging to levels seen in the 1950s on concern the two-year recovery in the world's largest economy is stalling.
Yields on benchmark 10-year U.S. notes are about 4.3 percentage points below the average over the past 49 years and almost where they were when President Dwight D. Eisenhower began his administration in 1953. The yield, which dropped to 2.40 percent today in New York, reached a record low of 2.04 percent in December 2008 during the global financial crisis…
"It's signaling a flight to safety," said Ethan Harris, head of developed-markets economic research at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York, on Bloomberg Television's "Surveillance Midday" with Tom Keene. "Even with the Treasury market as a weakened safe-haven market, it still gets the safe haven money."
The S&P 500 fell 4.8 percent, dropping more than 10 percent drop from its April 29 peak. The MSCI All-Country World Index slid 4.3 percent. Oil plunged 6.2 percent to $86.27 a barrel as all 24 commodities tracked by the S&P GSCI Index declined. Gold futures retreated from a record.
Yes, the same treasuries that were supposed to be in horrible trouble because the ratings agencies said America was too far in debt to keep the yield on our treasuries at healthy levels. The same treasuries concern that led to the austerity bill that led to the market drop that led everyone to run to the only safe place left: treasuries. Brilliant.

Oh yes, this is the kind of Democrat we like! More, please:
WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman asked a state judge to reject a proposed $8.5 billion settlement agreement over soured loans between Bank of America and a group of investors, claiming in court documents that a separate bank representing the investors committed fraud for failing to ensure that the mortgage securities were created in accordance with state law and for failing to act in the investors' best interest.
Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee representing the investors, "knowingly, repeatedly, and consistently" misled investors into thinking that the mortgage bonds were created properly, Schneiderman said in court documents. BNY Mellon also put its own interests before those of the investors it's supposed to represent, he said.

Mexico begins court proceeding for mayor
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- A federal judge has opened a court proceeding against the former mayor of a southern Mexico city in crimes that preceded the case of 43 missing students from a teachers' college.
The Federal Judiciary Council said in a statement late Saturday that Jose Luis Abarca has been charged with organized crime, the kidnapping of seven people and the killing of another in crimes that occurred before the students disappeared. Abarca was mayor of Iguala, in Guerrero state, when the students went missing.
Abarca has been behind bars since he and his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda, were arrested Nov. 4 in a crowded Mexico City neighborhood.
The Attorney General's Office considers Abarca the mastermind behind six killings and the disappearance of another 43 people in Iguala on Sept. 26.

Let A Jury Decide Whether Hank Greenberg Is Fit To Still Be Running An Insurance Company (Into The Ground Or Otherwise)By Jon Shazar
Snowflake Greenberg may yet suffer the indignity of seeing his beloved master stripped, in his prime at 88, of his right to run public companies. Read more »
Snowflake Greenberg's Trust Fund At RiskBy Bess Levin
Insurer American International Group Inc has asked a court to block Maurice "Hank" Greenberg's efforts to sue the U.S. government on AIG's behalf, saying its former CEO has not proven he should have the right to do so. Earlier this year, AIG drew sharp criticism from members of Congress and an outraged public when the firm considered the possibility of joining Greenberg's lawsuit, which challenges the terms of the insurer's $182.3 billion bailout by the federal government in 2008. AIG said Greenberg had forced its hand in even deliberating the prospect, but that ultimately it did not want to sue anyway amid a public backlash. Absent AIG's participation, Greenberg is pursuing a derivative claim, seeking to sue the U.S. government on AIG's behalf over the terms of the $182.3 billion rescue. Greenberg and his company Starr International, which owned 12 percent of AIG before the rescue, are also suing the government directly.
Hank Greenberg: still at it! My lord. Remember when AIG was going to sue the government along with him, and everyone freaked out, and then it didn't, and everyone was all "whew, glad that's over"? Hahaha yeah. Not over.
Greenberg filed his amended complaint in his lawsuit against the government today, and in addition to sort of doubling down on his damages claim,1 he makes a whole lot of hay out of the fact that when he asked AIG to join his lawsuit, people made fun of him. Also I guess some other stuff:
The Government also threatened the AIG Board with the purpose and effect of intimidating AIG and its directors into acting to halt this litigation. The United States indicated it would wage a negative public relations campaign against AIG and its directors, terminate any cooperative relationship with AIG, and heavily scrutinize AIG's SEC, tax, and other filings from the 2008 to 2010 period when Defendant controlled AIG.
Government officials mounted a campaign, including in the days immediately preceding the Board meeting to consider Plaintiff's demand, to intimidate the AIG Board that condemned the AIG Board for even considering, much less accepting, the demand. …
As a result of the various factors that had compromised the independence and due care of the demand process, the AIG Board did not take the several weeks it had stated to this Court it would take to make a considered decision following the presentations to it on January 9, 2013, but rather rejected the demand the same day, less than three hours after those presentations ended. The AIG Board had in fact made its decision to reject Starr's demand even before the presentations were made.
We talked about this when it happened, and I pointed out that this stuff matters.2 Greenberg is mostly – not entirely but mostly – suing on behalf of AIG. In particular, the extra $32 billion that he found in the lawsuit's couch cushions this time around is entirely AIG's claim: the shareholders never had that money; the company did. Read more »
Hank Greenberg's Balls Going Out With A BangBy Bess Levin
Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, the former American International Group chief executive, has more than doubled the size of his class-action lawsuit against the United States over the insurer's bailout to roughly $55.5 billion from $25 billion. In an amended complaint filed late Monday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Greenberg's Starr International Co said it is now seeking damages over Maiden Lane III LLC, a vehicle designed to rid banks of toxic debt underlying transactions with AIG. The claims are in addition to claims that Starr previously asserted over the government's taking of a 79.9 percent stake in AIG in September 2008, which was eventually swapped for 562.9 million common shares. In the amended complaint, Starr said it is seeking to recover, on behalf of shareholders and the company, $23 billion over the government's 79.9 percent stake, plus as much as $32.5 billion of collateral it said was given away through Maiden Lane III. It is also seeking unspecified damages related to AIG's 1-for-20 reverse stock split in June 2009. [Reuters]
AIG Is Even More Not Owned By The GovernmentBy Matt Levine
AIG is in the news today for two very small numbers in connection with much larger numbers. First: AIG is no longer bailed out! I know, you thought that happened like six months ago, and then again three months ago, but today AIG got rid of the last little bits of government ownership, really this time:
American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) announced today that it completed the repurchase of warrants issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (U.S. Treasury) in 2008 and 2009. … AIG and the U.S. Treasury agreed upon a repurchase price of approximately $25 million for the warrants. The U.S. Treasury does not have any residual interest in AIG after AIG's repurchase of these warrants.
"With AIG repurchasing all outstanding warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury, we are turning the final page on America's assistance to AIG," said Robert H. Benmosche, AIG President and Chief Executive Officer. "We appreciate the opportunities this support allowed and are proud to have returned to America every cent plus a profit of $22.7 billion."
Back in December, I speculated baselessly about why AIG didn't just buy back these warrants in connection with Treasury's final sale of stock back in December, since they were just rounding error on the $7.6bn offering. I figured waiting would let the government get a better deal, and it seems to have: I ballparked a value of $18,000,000.393 for those warrants in December, so Treasury made an extra $7mm by waiting three months.1 One possible explanation is that AIG and Treasury enjoyed the dynamic of announcing "AIG HAS PAID OFF ITS BAILOUT" every three months, so they milked it for all it was worth. I'm sure someone from Treasury left a pen or something at AIG's offices, and its return will be announced with great fanfare in a few months.
But this is a distraction from more amazing, less pleasant AIG news: Read more »

The failure to demonstrate what they do with donors' money means charities will have to face endless public and media questioning about how much they spend to get the donors, says Allan Freeman.

If you've ever wondered exactly what it is Town of Camp Verde employees do all day and how they put your sales tax money to use, then you'll want to go to Town Hall on Main Street this Wednesday, Aug. 10.
The town is hosting an open house as a public kickoff to its efforts to revise the town's capital improvements plan, a road map of sorts that lays out what the town wants to accomplish.
"We're going to have town equipment out by Rio Verde Plaza," Town Manager Russ Martin said, referring to the former shopping complex owned by the town. Originally slated for demolition, the town has preliminary plans to possibly turn the building into needed office space.
Martin said the event is going to be informal, but every town department will be represented to meet with the public and answer any questions.
"Our goal is to educate the public about what we do," Martin said. "If there's anyone who's ever been curious about something and didn't understand it, this is an opportunity to come and find out."
The town will also be taking comments and suggestions on future projects the public would like to see, Martin said.
The open house is scheduled to run from 6 to 8 p.m., but Martin said no one has to show up at any exact time.
The town is also planning a volunteer fair as an effort to connect organizations in the community that need volunteers with people who may be looking for an opportunity to do just that.
The fair is set to run from 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 15, in the town gymnasium off of Hollamon Street.
Several different agencies will be on hand, including the Camp Verde Marshal's Office VIP program, the town animal shelter, Camp Verde Promotions, the Camp Verde Historical Society, the Yavapai-Apache Nation, the Camp Verde Senior Center, the Camp Verde Archaeological Center, the U.S. Forest Service, Verde Valley Caregivers, the Camp Verde Adult Reading Program, the Camp Verde Chamber of Commerce, the Camp Verde Unified School District, Fort Verde State Historic Park, Rainbow Acres and the Camp Verde Arts Council.
Organizations will have booths, along with games, refreshments and door prizes.
In a recent report, Martin wrote the fair could help "reenergize volunteering in this community."

12 Extreme Celebrity Fitness Transformations
These stars bulked and cut (and bulked again) for the sake of their craft or their overall health.
What He Did: Worked out intensely for four months, getting in sick, warrior shape, completely transforming his body and mind. Why He Did It: For his role as King Leonidas in 300. What He Ate: Butler watched what he ate, making sure to fuel up every couple of hours His Workout: The 300-rep Spartan workout: 25 pull ups, 50 dead lifts with 135 pounds, 50 push-ups, 50 jumps on a 24-inch box, 50 floor wipers, 50 single-arm clean-and-presses using a 36-pound kettlebell and 25 more pull-ups (with no rest in between). For dessert, he'd engage in intense exercises like tire flipping and gymnastics-style ring training. Plus: This routine is efficient but tough to keep upafter filming, Bulter went cold turkey on exercising and lost all the muscle. Now he just tries to keep things balanced with healthy eating and workouts that aren't just fit for a king. Gerard Says: "That was a great thing, to put on that cape and put on that helmet and not have to think, 'Shit, I should have trained more.' Instead, I was standing there feeling like a lion."

Book Launch Neurosis

- Warren Bull said...
Thank you for sharing the experience of a major book launch. It's one I have never had and Im not certain I want to have. Good luck!
- April 7, 2012 at 9:43 AM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
Warren, don't let my whining deter you. There's much that's wonderful. I remind myself that all these things that drive me crazy at times are things I'm grateful to have, that not all first-book authors get these opportunities to promote their books.
Besides, you're such a good writer that I suspect you will have your own soon enough. And I'll be first in line.
- April 7, 2012 at 10:27 AM
- Gloria Alden said...
It sounds totally overwhelming. I'm not sure how I could handle all that. It makes self-publishing look even more attractive since I'm sure my series would never sell as many as a publisher would require.
I'm glad your book will be out in time for Malice. I'm looking forward to getting my copy signed.
- April 7, 2012 at 11:47 AM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
Well, Gloria, if you self-publish and want to make a living from your books, you'd have to work a lot harder at promotion and business stuff than I am. I haven't had to mail review copies--publisher took care of that. I haven't had to try to get bookstores to carry my book--publisher did that. There's so much that a publisher does for the author that you don't even realize--editing, copy editing, proofreading, printing ARCs for reviewers, and on and on.
Also, if I were self-published, I'd have to work much harder at promotion. True, that first week wouldn't be so important for me. On the other hand, I have the name of a major publisher behind me which opens publicity doors for me that I would beat my hands bloody on if self-published.
I wouldn't decide to go for self-publishing because it's less work!
I'm looking forward to seeing you and everyone else on here who's going to Malice. Lots of fun ahead!
- April 7, 2012 at 2:30 PM
- Gloria Alden said...
I understand that, Linda. I'm retired and although my retirement income isn't a lot, it's enough for me to live on. I know I won't make a lot when I go that route, but for me it's enought to get the little bit extra I may get, and even more it's having my books out there for people to read. I know a publisher could do a lot more for me, but I don't want to wait until I'm too old to do book signings.:-)
- April 7, 2012 at 4:31 PM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
Under those circumstances, Gloria, self-publishing might be the best route for you.
There's so much misinformation out there on the internet that makes it sound so easy, though. that I try to dispel that when I can. Writing well is hard work. Publishing well is also hard work of a very different sort. I think it's great for authors who already have a backlist and a fan base from publishing with traditional publishers. It also can be a great choice for someone like you who's not looking to make their living from it. That's pretty hard to do even with traditional publishers until you have enough books in print.
- April 7, 2012 at 8:27 PM
- E. B. Davis said...
Linda, next year we'll be cheering you on when you're nominated for an Agatha!
Promotion isn't easy unless your publisher takes out prominent ads in the NYT or Publishers' Weekly--even that doesn't reach everyone.
See you at Malice!
- April 9, 2012 at 9:51 AM
- Linda Rodriguez said...
EB, thanks so much. From your mouth to God's ears!!!
I'm so looking forward to Malice this year and meeting lots of folks who write for or read this blog!

Max is located in North East North Carolina, and will be 6 on December 10th. When I adopted him, he had a female parakeet for a mate. She has since passed away. Max is not a bad guy, he just needs someone who has more experience with this type of bird. He loves unsalted shelled peanuts as his favorite treat. Sun Conures are NOT quiet birds, and Max likes to have his cage door opened when we are relaxing in the living room. He does enjoy sitting on shoulders. He does not talk and doesn't know any tricks yet. Do the research on Sun Conures. Please do not apply unless you have prior experience with large birds and/or can tolerate the loud ... (Read More)noise, and plan on keeping Max as part of the family. We have worked with Max on some of his behaviour issues. With some more work I know Max can be the good guy he really wants to be.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Bird in North Carolina
Birds can make good pets in North Carolina if they match your IifestyIe. Exotic tropical birds such as Parrots and Cockatiels, as well as Finches, Doves, Pigeons, and other varieties, are often kept in captivity as beautiful and interesting pets. Unfortunately, many owners may not know how to care for their birds properly, while others experience life changes that may leave their pets without a suitable home. Captive birds can suffer from nutritional deficiencies, psychological stress, and many other problems when they do not receive proper care. Many wild exotic birds are endangered as a result of the international pet trade. Non-profit bird sanctuaries provide homes for some birds for whom their owners can no longer provide care. However, many more of these birds need to be adopted by committed owners who have taken the time to thoroughly understand what it takes to care for the birds. A person who is ready for the responsibility of owning a bird should seriously consider adopting one rather than buying a new one.

Business Details
Why is FRE Property Managment Different?
+ Monthly management as low as 4% - As real estate investors ourselves, we would not pay a 10% management fee and don't expect you to either.
+ You only pay for services you want - At FRE Real Estate & Property Management, we will customize a management plan to your unique needs by allowing you to pick and choose only the services you want.
+ You will not pay for unnecessary maintenance - At FRE Real Estate & Property Management, we will never have repairs completed that you don't know about or feel like you need. All maintenance will be communicated to you, so you always know what is going on with your property
+ We stand behind our tenants - With the rising costs of evictions, property damage, and tenant turnover, choosing the right tenant is essential to rental property success. We minimize this risk to you by offering eviction protection coverage that will pay for an unlawful detainer action should one be needed for any tenant we place.
+ Constant communication - At FRE Real Estate & Property Management, we realize that your property is important to you and will provide you with the peace of mind knowing that it is well taken care of. You can rely on consistent communication from us and will always feel like you are "in the know".

Excellent for Owners AND Tenants
by User173208 on
As a frequently-moving military family, we've learned a lot about dealing with good and bad property managers. We are glad to have found FRE Property Management to handle our permanent home in Salt Lake City. They have always gotten us a competitive monthly rent from reliable tenants and smoothly handled turnovers when tenants departed. What we appreciate most, as current renters ourselves, is that they are compassionate to the tenants when problems arise. We want our renters to be happy in our home, and so far with FRE, this has been the case. In our experience, we have yet to encounter another management company as dedicated to owners and tenants as FRE Property Management.
Great Service
by User35869 on
They have been excellent to work with. Great communication and very friendly!
Best Management Experience
by User167868 on
I have rented a home from FRE Property Management for the past two years and it has been a great experience. I was nervous since I had never used a property manager before, but I was pleasantly surprised at the how easy they have been to work with. Anytime that I have called or sent an email, they have been very quick to get back in touch with me. They have also been great at resolving issues with the home, usually have someone over to look at the problem the same day that I reached out to them. I have been very impressed with the service that I have received and would recommend FRE to anyone looking to rent a home.
Excellent Service & Communication
by User166619 on
Working with Justin Ellis @ FRE Property Management was hassle-free and he was always available to answer questions around the process and corresponding fees. Outsourcing the management of my townhome has been a breeze with the FRE team. The townhouse was rented quickly for a very competitive rate and I have been able to rest assured that we had qualified renters and proper management of all the ancillary considerations. FRE handles all queries and is able to insulate busy professionals/homemakers from having to deal with the typical hassles of owning rental properties. I highly recommend FRE Property Management, they are professional and provide excellent service.
FRE Property Managment
by User63033 on
If you're looking for a no-hassle, hands-off approach to managing your rentals, FRE Property Management is the one to do it. I have not regretted for one minute having FRE manage our rental townhouse. They are professional and they have all the necessary contacts to make sure things are taken care of quickly if anything needs attention. They handle everything and I don't have to worry about a thing, which is great since I have enough to do with our own home to manage. I get a detailed statement via email every month and the rental payment is automatically deposited in our account. The small percentage they charge is well worth it to me.

Is there a decent restaurant on the CT shore?
I'm seriously asking.... have been to some wonderful smaller places, but when it comes to sit-down service I feel like the options are terrible.
the CT shore is the entire West to East southern border of the state.
There are many decent restaurants in Cities such as Greenwich, Stamford, Norwalk, New Haven, New London, etc., as well as in smaller locales such as Milford, Branford, Guilford, etc.
I think you need to narrow down your complaint/question to specificic communities in prder to get a proper response.
re: bagelman01
OK, fair enough. Let's narrow it down to the shore towns between New Haven and New London. Based on my experience, sitting down for a nice seafood meal anywhere in Guilford, Madison, Branford, Old Saybrook, etc is a miserable time. Frozen junk barely microwaved for $25. Can this really be true all along the shoreline? I mean, I'm sure Greenwich has some nice restaurants, and I know this area is on the sound and not the ocean, but man have I had some bad meals over the last couple summers.
re: chorosch
There are many fine restaurants along the shore.
Guess chorosch has never eaten at the following great restaurants between New Haven and New London:
Cafe Rouiter, Liv's, Gabrielles, Bea and Thistle, Pips, Foe, Le Petit Cafe, or Quattro.
Le Petit Cafe
225 Montowese St Ste 7, Branford, CT 06405
re: jdgall
You are right... I have never been to any of those places. This is why I am asking. Pretty much every town I have visited, I've asked locals for a quality places, and I always get sent to some lousy seafood joint that charges NYC prices for microwaved food. I need to find REAL restaurants, not just tourist traps!
re: jdgall
Methinks you have been brainwashed by seafood restaurants in the SW corner of the state. There are plenty in the New (Haven-to-London) area which are excellent (and much easier on the wallet). You can't go wrong with any of jdgall's choices ( I have not been to Foe, but we see eye to eye on other things so if he recommends it, it must be good). Just thought I should mention that in case you were looking for these on the web the correct spellings are: Cafe Routier, Bee and Thistle Inn, and Brasserie Pip.
Brasserie Pip

re: DonShirer
I would stay away from Brasserie Pip for the time being - we went in late summer and it was a terrible disappointment - they are using contracted chef help from a national food service and it shows
I loved that place - and hope they get a fire lit and get a real chef there again
re: DonShirer
Noel Jones is leaving Brasserie Pip in a couple of weeks to become a private chef.
re: chorosch
Tough one...youre right. So if I understand correctly youre looking for a more upscale experience, and good quality vs a fried seafood shack or a Rusty Scupper *shudder* am I right? Do you want waterviews or just shoreline area?
re: lovesublime
Well, it doesn't have to be upscale necessarily... just something that isn't a lobster roll joint with picnic tables (of which I have found several great ones!) and isn't a rip-off fried seafood place. Had dinner at Dock and Dine in Old Saybrook last night on the recommendation of a local resident, and it was honestly one of the worst meals I have had in a long time. I had the same experience last summer at a couple of restaurants in Guilford. I don't need a shore view, just a real restaurant that isn't going to serve me microwaved broccoli next to frozen cod for $25.
re: chorosch
ugh I know exactly what you mean..Ive pretty much given up. I go to Black Duck in Westport which has good steamers, lobster rolls, OK stuffed clams, soft shell crab, and fresh whole belly fried clams, but mainly because its convenient for me and not what you described. It wont blow you away but its good considering other options in the area.
Black Duck Cafe
605 Riverside Ave, Westport, CT 06880
re: lovesublime
While I do like the Black Duck for burgers, I don't think the bar-like atmosphere will sway the OP into thinking it's a good shoreline restaurant.
Black Duck Cafe
605 Riverside Ave, Westport, CT 06880
My mother in law told me about this place last night. I havent been here. But she said it was great and a refreshing change from the usual junk seafood places. Its in Stratford CT which is south of new Haven, but consider it. Also check out the YELP ratings. http://knappslanding.com/
re: lovesublime
have only been for lunch once but based on the sub-par lobster roll, hav had no desire to return
re: lovesublime
Had one of the worst crab cakes ever there...
IMO, another restaurant whose view is far better than the food.
re: lovesublime
Knapps Landing is really not a dining experience - great view, bar is OK - grab a burgerr but that's pretty much it. The outdoor seating, while exposing a great view is really not well done or inviting -
grewenwich- L'escale - overpriced and a bit snooty- but you wont have a "bad" meal there
500 Steamboat Rd., Greenwich, CT 06830
To jdgall's list I'd add http://www.thesuburbanrestaurant.com/ and Bar Bouchon in Madison
Bar Bouchon
8 Scotland Ave., Madison, CT 06443
re: brookerme
And I would add Assaggio in Branford — not in the same class with, say, Cafe Routier or Le Petit Cafe, but certainly providing a very nice meal with none of the problems the OP claims to find everywhere s/he gohere Or maybe the Stone House in Guilford, though this is somewhat uneven. There are also more specialized places, like Yooki Yama in Branford for very good sushi/sashimi and the state's best cold sake list…
I found the original post rather strange. Is the OP only interested in seafood? If so, there are still good sit-down meals to be had at, say, Lenny's Indian Head in Branford, or, if the atmosphere there is too funky for you, across the road at Blue Cottage. There's no branch of McCormick & Schmick's around here (hey, if it's good enough for Dominique Strauss-Kahn, it's good enough for you! :-), but there's no lack of good seafood you don't have to eat at a picnic table. And if, as the post says, you're just looking for a good meal in a nice restaurant, the range of choices actually available (none of which you say you've actually tried before insulting the whole region!) should keep you at least modestly happy for quite a while.

re: linguist
I agree, confused as to what the OP is actually looking for. Tons of great restaurants in FFLD County...but are they only looking for water views? Seafood?
re: sibeats
No need to be confused. In the OP's reply to my statement that the shore is the entire southern border of the state, the OP narrowed it to New Haven to New London.
That means New Haven, Middlesex and New London counties only
re: linguist
OK, hey...I'm not trying to insult the whole region. I had a bunch of lousy meals in a row at places that were recommended to me as top quality (including the Stone House in Guilford, which was incredibly disappointing.)
I'm not only interested in seafood, or water views, but since I spend a considerable amount of time each summer in what is basically the middle of the state shoreline (as I posted above, roughly between NH and NL,) I'm trying to figure out where the good restaurants are. I'm kind of done with asking for local recommendations, because they inevitably send me to the nearest "big name" restaurant, which is always some version of an amateur chef preparing barely warmed over frozen food, near the marina.
I want to know where the chowhounds eat. I have already taken notes on the postings above. I'm sorry if my original post came across as snooty or something, but I was really pissed off having spent $100 on another terrible meal with bad service. I know there have to be better places than the ones I am pointed to.
I like to do lunch casually, and I have sought out and found some great places. I am not too precious for picnic tables or fried food.... in fact, I love that stuff. But when it turns to evening, I want a nice, refined restaurant that has servers who know what they are doing and a chef who actually cooks.
Please don't read this as insulting. I'm not that guy. Maybe I'm irritated but my intention is not to be negative about the region.
re: chorosch
Out of curiosity, could you identify some of the places where you have been disappointed? Your description of "an amateur chef preparing barely warmed over frozen food near the marina" doesn't fit any place I know of around here, but maybe I've just been lucky.
I agree the Stone House can be disappointing (it can also be pretty good, but life is short). Every restaurant can disappoint sometimes, though, and most of the places people have listed above, and more, are pretty reliably "decent restaurants." Branford alone offers at least half a dozen excellent possibilities within a couple of hundred meters of the town green: Le Petit Cafe, Foe, Assaggio, Yooki Yama, Darbar India, The Suburban, plus a couple of lesser choices. Guilford is much less favored - if you don't like the Stone House, there's Quattro (never a favorite of mine, but still better than your description). One consistent disappointment is the current inhabitant of the green's best property, Whitfield's. In Madison, Cafe Allegre is to be avoided, but Bar Bouchon is fine (if you can get in). And so on for Clinton (Taste of China is one of the few serious Chinese restaurants in the area), Westbrook (Cafe Routier is consistently excellent), and Old Saybrook (Liv's, among others). For what you say you want, in my opinion, it's easier to be satisfied than to go seriously wrong, which is what makes your post so puzzling. And I really would like to know more about where you've been so disappointed.

re: linguist
Well, the last few places I can think of that were majorly disappointing were Stone House (Guilford,) Allegre (Madison,) Chowder Pot (Branford,) and Dock and Dine (Old Saybrook.)
Places I have really liked have been more casual... The Place (Guilford,) pizza at Stony Creek Market (Branford,) Captain Scott's (New London,) and I guess Lenny & Joe's falls kind of in the middle for me.
So you can see a pattern here... it's not that I am impossible to please or need super high end treatment, I think I just haven't found good suggestions for an evening restaurant with proper service. All of the feedback so far has been great, and I will look into those places.
I am going to redirect this post in a more positive way, as I will be back up in the Branford/Guilford/Madison area in about 3 weeks. My new post will be more specific and not negative.

re: chorosch
Just came across this thread and upon reading the places you have dined at, I understand your frustration. I've eaten at all of them except Allegre and agree with your assesments. We've spent a lot of time in the area over the years and eaten at a lot of places and IMO the concentration of better restaurants is higher in Branford than the other towns on the Shoreline. I will echo prior posts and say Foe is great for contemporary American and the space is quite nice since they moved a few years back into a larger place. Petite Cafe is great for the splurge on French though I do wish they would change the menu more often. Pasta Cosi has pretty good italian but can get loud if they have live music but you may enjoy that. The ethnic choices are pretty good too. Yooki Yama is very good quality sushi, Darbar is Indian and Siam Orchids for Thai is awesome. There is even a new korean place Yamadora in East Haven by the Stop & Shop. These places are actually better than the typical "ethnic" places in NYC. I have not been to Suburban yet but have been meaning to try it. Maybe this weekend. There is a prety good variety of dining options available where the chefs are professional and the wait staff accomodating. You've just had some bad luck. Keep exploring and good eats to ya!

re: temilove
the OP has stated that OP is interested in between Nedw Haven and New London, you're suggesting something at least an hour west of the target area.
re: bagelman01
I also really like Cafe Routier (though it has been discusse on CH many times that the bar is better than the dining room.)
Liv's and Gabrielles are always consistent, I prefer the starters to the main dishes.
Brasserie Pip has excellent food, if you can get past the attitude, which I cannot.
One of my favorites is River Tavern in Chester (I know some CHounds don't like it as much as I do) for locally sourced, very good food. It's not spectacular fine dining, but consistently good. Also, great seasonal drinks with fresh juices, no mixes.
Taste of China in Clinton has real Chinese food, some American stuff, but mostly authentic.
There are plenty of horrible places on the shore, touristy places that locals recommend because they are so used to them they don't notice or they're palates are such that they don't notice. Luckily CH does not have a lot of posts from them, so should be helpful.

re: dennisl
I agree with most of your choices except Taste of China, which I find to be fair at best. IO have eaten Chinese food in The Chinatowns of NY, Phila, Boston, Montral, San Fran, London, as well as dining in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Guanzhou.
Youngest Bagelman child is from Guanzhou and we are picky about Chinese food .
Taste of China may be the best in the hinterlands of the Middlesex county shoreline, but I wouldn't call its cuisine 'real' Chinese food, or even more than acceotable.
re: bagelman01
<<Taste of China may be the best in the hinterlands of the Middlesex county shoreline, but I wouldn't call its cuisine 'real' Chinese food, or even more than acceotable.>>
I can't say whether Taste of China is "real" or not, but they have a Chinese menu on request...and I will gladly drive 30+ minutes to eat there over other locally available options in Middlesex county, shoreline or otherwise. Never had a bad meal there. For reference, Lao Sze Chuan in Milford is my favorite (but a longer drive), followed by ToC and Samurai in no special order.
re: kattyeyes
absolutely agree with you on Lao Sze Chuan
re: bagelman01
Well, bagelman, last night at Clinton's Taste of China, we sat between two tables of people who ordered from the "real" Chinese (Mandarin?) menu, so we chatted a bit and even shared some food. I have the written characters in my wallet so I can order the soup we tried...(thin) rice noodles in sour soup (approximation). It had some sort of (soy?) beans in it that were supposed to be crispy, but were just plain hard. The soup itself was tasty, tho', and the people on the opposite side appeared to order the same thing.
I can't tell you the other (more authentic) dishes they ordered. With a bit of a language barrier, it was hard to describe what part of the cow we were talking about--I kept getting "stomach" and at least we figured out tripe, but the other parts remain a mystery.
The girl I spoke to is a UCONN student from China. I also told them about Lao Sze Chuan. When she tried our "Chengdu dumplings in spicy sauce" she giggled and said in China, they don't put sugar in such dishes. Honestly, I thought they were more salty than sweet, but was interested in her feedback. Next time I go, I'll ask if I can have the dumplings from the Chinese menu instead.
ALSO, sad to report Samurai (down the street in OS) no longer has a Chinese menu--just hibachi and sushi.
re: debvil
I'm not sure what you mean by moderate tier, but Guilfod-Madison is no different than any other shoreline town: A few so-so restaurants but at least two you don't have to apologize for. In Madison I have enjoyed Bar Bouchon, Elizabeth's and (stretching a little) Lenny and Joes Fish Tale. Guilford has Som Siam, Ayuthai, the Place, and though I haven't been there, Quattro's has gotten good reviews. There are a couple of others I want to try as well.

re: DonShirer
Happy (I think!) to see this thread. I have to make a trip to Madison-Guilford area for business tonight. I would like something for someone traveling alone and vegetarian-friendly. Don't know the area at all and casual is fine. Has anyone been to the Shoreline Diner and Vegetarian Enclave in Guilford?
re: 3catsnh
I have eaten at SD&VE, and they do have many vegetarian and vegan options, but since I was really hungry and hate tofu, I ordered from the regular menu. I got what looked and tasted like typical diner fare, filling but not exceptionally tasty. It is indeed casual.
If you like Asian food, Ayuthai and Som Siam have several vegetarian entrees and salads, and I have eaten there alone several times. Som Siam is a bit more casual.
2279 Boston Post Rd, Guilford, CT 06437
re: 3catsnh
I second DonShirer's view. The SD&VE sounds like a good idea, but the food is not very good. My wife likes to eat vegetarian when she can, but she's been quite disappointed the times we went there (and now refuses to go). Another Asian place that has a number of veggie dishes is the Chinese place Shangri La (in the little shopping center where Star Fish is). We like quite a few of their things — you might have to ask them to make things completely vegetarian, but they're pretty nice, in my experience, and should accommodate you.
re: linguist
Thanks to both of you. Will try these next trip. I really wanted something other than Asian for a change. Believe it or not I had a very good experience at Shoreline Diner. I had pretty decent stuffed peppers and the most pleasant surprise was one of the freshest (no iceberg--all mesclun!) salads I have had on the road in some time. And the young waitress was very professional.

Whatever the vegetarian equivalent of crow is, I may have to eat some. I was telling my wife about this thread tonight, and she said I was quite wrong.

Meanwhile, my wife was happily eating her steak … sometimes that's what you have to have.

re: ratbuddy
Heirloom, New Haven.
re: CohibaDave
What about it?
re: ratbuddy
Sorry, I was answering the original question. Heirloom in New Haven is a great restaurant in the area being discussed. Chorosch was looking for a good place with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and Heirloom fits the bill. Farm to table grub, very tasty.
In Madison check out Bar Bouchee what I consider to be one of the finest restaurants in CT or the new Madison Beach hotel (Ive had a great experience their but Ive heard they are spotty as it's going through the normal growing pains a restaurant would have). Others mentioned like Foe and Le Petit Cafe are also excellent.
A bit off the shoreline in Chester - consider SIX MAIN and River Tavern

Very cool and glad to read. Sounds like they're back on track...though that Courant article needed a swift sweep of the red pen BADLY. GEEZ!
re: kattyeyes
I don't think the Courant even bothers to glance at their articles before publishing. Churn 'em out as fast as possible, and if someone notices the mistakes, well, that person is just a whiner, right?
Seems worse in the local sections such as restaurant reviews, where they can't just reprint AP stuff that's actually been given a once-over by a real editor.
re: ratbuddy
That sure would seem to be the case these days. It wasn't always like that, of course. Now I sound old (or whiny, even) and I don't even care. ;) It's why I only read it online or secondhand anymore.
re: ratbuddy
Thanks! Cannot wait to try the new menu and sounds like the new Chef is ready to sweep out the cobwebs!
re: chowmensch
If I'm reading this all correctly, the chef who moved from On20 to Brasserie Pip has moved on once again, this time going to work as a private chef.
re: chowmensch
Had dinner there this past weekend. Food was really good - service not so much. There are no longer 2 resturants with 2 menus. It's all the same now. They have a formal dining area which is very nice, the bar - more casual, and the, what I would call and Atrium - glassed in porch whatever - but the menu is the same. They didn't even open the dining room on Friday night. The wine list f has been trimmed to less that 1/4 of what it says is available on-line - and VERY wierdly priced - a few 30 -40 dollar bottles, and few 80 - 90 dollar bottles and lots of 100+ and more. All signs of a restaurant in trouble. Chef Noel probably sees the handwriting on the wall...
In defense of the OP, I have had many awful meals on the Shoreline too, often based on local recommendations. So my first thought is sort of counter-intuitive, but don't ask the locals. Dock & Dine is a perfect example. Awful restaurant, everyone recommends it. However, this board is very helpful. In my experience, if kattyeyes likes a place, I know I will too.
re: eragavanis
I have no idea who you are, but would like to thank you for one of the nicest things I've read all week. :)
re: kattyeyes
Hi, Katty-
My name is Elizabeth, and I am a fairly recent transplant to th Shoreline from NYC. The adjustment has been hard, and I miss the easy access to great food 24/7. I always find your posts reliable and informative. If I need the scoop on a place, I check this board and look for your review first!
re: eragavanis
Good morning, Elizabeth! Nice to meet you. Welcome to our neck of the woods! We'll try to keep you and your family well-fed for sure. :)
re: eragavanis
Yes, me too- just moved from LA to Old Lyme and am so bummed by the lack of decent places to eat. Here are a few I have found that are pretty good; Trapiche in chester, L&E in Chester, Johnny Ad's for a dive with great lobster rolls, Livs for their oysters in Wednesday nights ( half price) Mondo Pizza in Middletown and if anyone has others to recommend, yea!
Absolutely hated the Griswold Inn- the food is horrendous and way over-priced.
re: amandachef
Welcome to OL and Chowhound Amanda. You've already located some of the better restaurants in the area. You might also check out AlForno and SomSiam East in Old Saybrook, Cafe Routier in WestBrook, and Gabrielles in Centerbrook.
If you are looking for specialty food purveyors, try Fromage, Pasta Vita and Dagmar's Desserts, all in O.S.
(And a word from our sponsor--keep an eye out for Old Lyme Town Band concerts coming up in a few months!)
We moved to Clinton from W. Hartford about a year ago.
We too have yet to find a decent restaurant on the shoreline.
We do like Chester's 6 Main- always fresh and original and Simons which is informal and great for breakfast and lunch'
We thought Cafe Rotier was mediocre; Dock and Dine is awful... can't figure out why people like that dump...
We do always like Hatami in Clinton for Japanese.. really excellent and consistent! Haven't found much else to come close to restaurants like Brio or Barcelona in W. Hartford. If anyone knows of a good consistent restaurant.. please share!
re: seiderbug
There are several of them already listed above. Having reread this thread, I'm adding Al Forno in OS. Their pizza is fantastic, they have great wines by the glass, love their salads...I forget if we actually ate something non-pizza as a meal there, but I love that place!
re: kattyeyes
Yes Al Forno is quite good
re: amandachef
We love Fresh Salt in the Saybrook Point Inn. The swordfish chop is to die for. It's heavy on seafood but their steaks are quite good as well. It's our go to place when we have friends in from out of town and the food, the service and the water view are always perfect.
The other restaurant that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread is Otter Cove, also in Old Saybrook. It's the old Vin Baker restaurant but the current owners have done a great job improving the food and service.
re: seiderbug
Simons is our favorite casual lunch place in Chester and add Otto to your list. A new terrific oven fired pizza place also in Chester- very good food.
Try the Cooper Beach and sit at the bar. We had a very delicious steak frites there.
Thought Six Main was ok but not great. And I agree about cafe Routier.
re: amandachef
Finally got to Otto. WOW. If I've had better pizza in this lifetime, I can't recall where.
Dough--light, pillow-y, thin crust with a bit of welcome char. And I say this as someone who generally loathes char on a pizza or anywhere else.
I can't wait to get back there and order something new. We tried the margherita--the one with the stracciatella (which I LOVE). If you love it, too, you won't be disappointed. Not to mention, it's not as if most pizza places even serve it.
Do start with the wood-roasted olives. You'll wonder how you can possibly share the whole dish and next thing you know, they'll be gone. OUTFREAKIN'STANDING! And friendly, attentive service to boot.
re: seiderbug
I have loved the Old Lyme Inn since their reopening. Servers are both competent and friendly, drinks are creative, food has been excellent (well, not on Valentine's Day, but you know how that is.)
re: eragavanis
Wow- we have found the food strangely over-ambitious and not well executed. I say, keep it simple and don't try so hard. I don't think they have hit the mark yet.
Love the bar and the staff is friendly but at times a bit slow..
re: amandachef
Interesting! Well, haven't been since late last summer except for Valentine's Day...maybe a neutral third person will go and let us know what they think?
re: seiderbug
My favorite is Bar Bouchee in Madison. Always consistent and its small so its always booked... make a reservation. Boom was great the last time I went there several years ago. Aspen and Red Hen were recent visits and while not everything was perfect I give them above average results. The Madison Beach Hotel has been just ok...come summertime I hope they step up their game because the sunset views are great on the porch.
I'm 64 years old and I grew up in Stamford and now live in Norwalk and I'm a retired chef. When people ask me to recommend a good seafood restaurant I'm hard pressed to do so. Someone mentioned L'escale in Greenwich but I don't consider that a seafood restaurant. It's a high end French restaurant that serves excellent food, some of it seafood. I'm talking a reasonably priced, casual fish house that serves the freshest seafood in generous portions, with no pretensions, that were once common in this area. Fondly remembered places like the two Clam Boxes (in Greenwich and Westport), Skipper's, Alan's Clam House, King Neptune, Admiral Benbow etc. Every shore community had one. Now they don't exist. Just take a trip to your local fish monger & you'll see why. The price of quality seafood is outrageous! Never would I have thought than Prime grade beef would be less expensive than fresh swordfish, sea scallops or halibut. Even lowly cod & flounder frequently top $10.00#. More demand & diminished resources have created this problem. For affordable seafood we are left with farm raised crapola like Tilapia, Swai, Atlantic Salmon & Catfish. My wife asked me if I wanted to go to an all you can eat seafood buffet with another couple @ a local restaurant awhile back. I asked her how much did it coast per head, she said $30.00.I said no thanks, it can't be very good for that price.
re: zackly
I'm just 4 years younger than you. My memory of the Clam Box was the location in Cos Cob
re: bagelman01
Yes, there were two, one in the Cos Cob section of Greenwich on Route 1 and another in Westport also on Route 1 which is now a Bertucci's, if memory serves me correctly. It was home of the "Belly Buster" a huge deep fried platter of shrimp, scallops, flounder, french fries & onion rings.That's how a lot of youngsters first were introduced to seafood.
re: zackly
I remember Clam Box very well & my grandpa did the books for Skippers for a time in the 70s!
