Lost Restaurants

b2's post in The Lounge got me thinking about threads that were lost on the old board, one of my favorites being "Lost Restaurants"
Though it wasn't the height of culinary greatness, I really miss Monroe's, if for no other reason that was my "go to" place when I started taking girls out in high school. My memories are of decent steaks and great desserts, and, if you were dressed right, you could get into the bar at Flagon's. My parents took me out a lit as a kid so I knew how to order wine and sound like I knew what I was doing, and if the planets were in line the bartender at Flagon's wouldn't ask for my ID. THAT was a great night, take a date to Monroe's AND look like a hot-shot ordering wine.....ahh the memories.
