Conley-Ward is/was a favorite on the high-end steak house scene - I like it better than Sullivan's (Lonestar's high-end joint) - I'd much rather visit an independent instead of a chain...haven't been there in at least two years or so - I'm hoping it hasn't gone the way of the rest of the waterfront....I think that the "steak house" image and pricing were a little heavy, so they lightened it up and started using the outdoor equipment that they acquired from the old Backstage Cafe (which sucked! No surprise that they went under!)....
My wife and I did find a cool spot on the water in Ridley - Carson's Dockside...it's a BYOB joint, so your alcohol bill is zilch! And, you can buy a $25 gift certificate for $10 at Restaurant.com...I had a nice piece of potato encrusted salmon and my wife had ginormous scallops! Plus we did apps, salads, and dessert (they don't make it there, but they use a killer local bakery - I forget who it is)....
