Doing an early dinner with my grandparents tomorrow night. Anyone tried vessel yet? Or should we do the classics: Katie's or mandinas? Haven't tried toups yet either. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Toups is always a win if you are a fan of meat.

I suspect people your grandparents age would like Mandina's better.

If you try Katies and their packed just go down the block to Liuzza's. They may enjoy the atmosphere there as it's like going back in time.

Given that criteria I would add the new Mr Ed's Oyster House as well.

I don't think Vessel is what you're looking for, honestly. I popped in there back in July and the space was gorgeous, but my grandparents would be really uncomfortable there. I consider my grandparents cool as far as grandparents go, but small plates and cocktails wouldn't really be their scene.

I second the toups recommendation.

Toups
Katie's
Mandina's

In that order.

However, with grandparents, they might like Mandina's the best. Place is garbage nowadays, but its the type of place grandparents like.

Grandparents might also like Liuzzas. My dad loves the big frozen mugs of beer.

If looking for better, in addition to Toups, I'd recommend Lolas on Esplanade.
