It's long gone, but they had the best northern italian (non-marinara) entrees, and a raspberry/rosemary balsamic house dressing that I used to sop up with bread because it was just too good!The very worst was a Denny's in Cape Canaveral, FL. This was in the early 90's just before their discrimination scandal broke. I was having dinner with a NASA employee who happened to be black. They sat us in a cubbyhole near the pass thru to the kitchen. The tables in this area were all seated with black couples and families. It was early and there was plenty of seating in the main area. The entire staff stayed as far away as they could. It took 90 min to get a simple order and the food was cold and inedible when it finally arrived. I was horrified by this treatment and ashamed that people were still acting this way. I've been to a couple of Denny's in other places since, but I always look to see how they are seating their customers before I let them seat me. <img src="/images/smilies/twocents.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":twocents:" title="Twocents    :twocents:" data-shortname=":twocents:" /></blockquote>
