You really need to be a little more specific on what you are looking for. Every restaurant that is open when you want to eat dinner would meet your criteria.

I interpreted that as "what's a nicer place I can go to dinner wearing this". And I imagined khaki shorts and a golf shirt.

I think that would get you anywhere in town with the exception of Christopher's/Republic/Porter's etc.

Maybe I just don't give a damn, but I'll go to Christopher's wearing shorts.

I suspect the OP is simply asking for a "nice but casual" place, and we have a subset of obvious ones:

Public and Main, Amico Nave (my personal fave), Napa Flats, Urban Table. Nice atmosphere, good food and drink, reasonably priced.

The Oracle from Yelp wrote a thesis length bad review of Christopher's because he was asked to leave for being under-dressed (specifically, shorts).

I regularly eat at all three of those places wearing a polo and shorts.

You can easily sit in the bar area of the republic in shorts

I've eaten everwhere in this town in shorts, usually wearing flips and a tee shirt to complete the ensenble. I haver never had a problem, but in fairness I don't take eating out that serious.

I fully intend to go to the Republic for my 50th birthday Sunday in shorts and a polo. I am confident they will accept my money.

They're not necessarily wrong. Relatively inexpensive. You know what you're getting.

The Kettle??? Really?

I did get to Republic today as they are apparently closed on Sunday. They served me despite my shorts and van shoes! It was spectacular.

It seemed oddly affordable, maybe that is a weird side effect of inflation. ($200 for four adults with drinks)

I've been to Republic in athletic shorts and a t-shirt (I'm a female), and Christopher's in Jean shorts and a t shirt. No one has ever cared as long as the payment clears.

I'd like to know how you got out of there for that price. We always seem to be $150-250 for 2 adults. Though we usually get meat and then have to order sides, as well as drinks and dessert.

You got out of there cheap for 4 people!

I'm 0 for 3 with my Sofly experience. Thought I'd let you know privately, but you don't have the ability to PM (may be worth the small investment)

First attempt: directions on Google led me to Bryan. I had called before driving to place an order since online ordering wasn't working. I was told no phone or online orders, but to come on over. Person on phone didn't indicate that directions on Google would take me far away from the actual restaurant, even though I discovered later folks knew the Google maps directions don't work for Sofly. Eventually made it there. Believe I got someone else's order. Luckily it was enough food for our family, but wrong order altogether.

Second attempt:
Forgot French fries and sauce lids came undone so there was sauce everywhere.

Third attempt:
Just now. "Equipment issues". Restaurant closed.

I'm sure it's hard being a restaurant owner, but man. It seems like it shouldn't be this hard to be a customer. I'll likely try again, but with so many options in town, it's just hard to go back with such low reliability.

I need someone to put all of those restaurants in a random name generator so I can pull it out when my girlfriend says "you pick".

Was there for lunch today about 12:30. I guess they solved the equipment issues.

Wow sincerely sorry to hear it's been so challenging. Thank you for your biz and continuing to try us out.

The Google thing must've been when we first opened and it wasn't recognizing the new location yet. It's correct now. I suppose just one of those things during transition.

The food/fries etc along with sauce is unfortunate. I hate to hear that. Hopefully I can get the chance to meet you sometime and make amends. Would love to buy you and your family lunch or dinner.

The equipment failure this am was natural gas related and random. We absolutely couldn't help that. We acted on it as soon as possible. Every minute we were closed we were losing money, so we certainly didn't want it to happen. Of course at the same time Burger Mojo on university was blocked off due to a city water line burst. Some of you many have noticed university down to two lanes all day while the city tore up the area in front of mojo. These things happen.

Thank you again for your feedback. For anything in the future or to redeem my offer, my email is costa@eccellgroup.com
