Shapley's Steak House is the real deal. Excellent steaks and service. Big wine list. Light years better than Tico's.

Rossini - Italian place in Ridgeland (just north of Jackson). Also, very good.

Char - really good duck entree, cool bar.

La Guadalupe - inexpensive tacqueria. Very good tacos and queso. If it's on company dime, I'd probably skip this place though.

Anjou - French food. Great wine list. Cheese plate and tuna entree are notables.

Local 463 - in Madison. Really good halibut special on the menu last week. Service is hit or miss but the food is really solid.

Hope you enjoy some good meals in Jackson.

Walker's Drive In is top notch. Shapley's gets great press. I like Char. Great sushi at a joint just up Frontage from Char but I can't remember the name.

I'd like to throw in Table 100 as well. I went and ate and drank there on a Thursday night last week for the first time and it was pretty good. Lively crowd in the bar too.

I recommend Shapley's for steaks, Local 463 in Madison for an upscale lunch, Kents cajun kitchen in Madison for real New Orleans food, Walkers for great variety of fine dining, Mermaid cafe, Mint, or Char for wide variety of good eats. Also, a nice gem is Strawberry Cafe in Madison, they have a great variety of food choices.

Shaley's steak house in Ridgeland.

I haven't been to Tico's, so I can't compare.

I met Matthew McConnauhey at Shapley's, so it would get the edge anyway. LOL
