Thanks to Wanda for this submission

• The Keg on the South Service Road = no problems
• Joe Dog's Bar & Grill = extremely responsive (burgers were fine, obviously w/o bun)
• Sotiris Shish Kabob = ordered basic and fine
• Mandarin = like any buffet must be careful (I like crab nights with steamed rice)
• 1505 North = GREAT - again, present card and they look after you
• Napoleon's = same as 1505 North
• La Costa = look after you, but more limited
• Sonoma County = again, no problem with card
• Pepperwood = like Sonoma
• Sonzi = ditto
• Dante's = fabulous - family run business - they made me dishes that weren't on the menu! absolutely awesome --- do take out with them as well - when we order veal (like most Italian dishes lightly floured) I receive a separate one not floured)
• Martini House = offered to cook my rice pasta for me

Submitted by Freda:
Sometime last fall we went to The Brassie Pub, 73 Wilson Street, Ancaster, phone number: 905-304-8935. My husband asked for a piece of grilled chicken, a baked potato with just butter, and grilled vegetables. The meal was very tasty and did not cost much. You might want to add the name to your list. I called them to ask for permission to publish their name in your newsletter.

Oakville

• Oliver's (downtown)
• Joseph's (Dundas and Bronte Rd - just east on Dundas)
