I have been eating at IKEA Long Island for years now. I still like the meatballs, but miss the whole new potatoes they used to serve with them (now they are mashed.) I have also enjoyed the soup most of the time. And the open faced shrimp sandwich, although it is usually too cold.
I once bought the bag of meatballs, sauce mix, and lingonberries for a party. One of the reasons it is so good is the heavy cream that makes the sauce.
The lingonberries are nice on a turkey sandwich as well.
I'm getting the urge to pay them a visit!

I haven't made it lately but I used to like chicken cutlet with mustard, butter, S&P, and maybe garlic wrapped up in puff pastry and baked. Also, instead of the mustard, mushrooms, onions & cheese. Which is also good without the pastry.
I have made oven pancakes with fruit often lately -- lots of great combinations -- today I had apples, cranberries and walnuts. Also great with peaches, raspberries and almonds.

It's been so long since I have eaten at a steakhouse, I almost can't recall.
I ate at Sparks (at least 35 years ago) which was on 18th St nr. 3rd Ave in NYC (or somewhere around there) but I don't remember what we ate. It was good though.
Somewhat more recently (probably 20 years ago) I went to a huge place decorated with cows called Hilltop Steak House in Saugus MA. I remember having filet mignon. I'm sure it's not considered a GREAT steak house, but the portions were generous and we enjoyed our meal.
I live on LI and there are several great steak houses nearby. Unfortunately, I can't afford them. Even if I could, I would still think them overpriced.

Looks very much like the ones they sell in Lancaster County PA. But at the Farmer's Market, I think in Bird-in-Hand but I haven't been there in years, they also had one made with cherries. Really yummy.
