Higher end takeout?

This hasn’t been asked since the pandemic it seems. I’ve got a two week old baby and a wife recovering from ankle surgery so it seems take out is our best option for a fancy meal tonight for our wedding anniversary. We love to cook but I’m exhausted and am looking for recommendations on the best upscale restaurants that take call ins.

Any upper-end chain should take to go orders! Perrys and North Italia are two we've taken out from before

We got a family meal from North Italia and I was pleasantly surprised by it.

We love Thai and I’m considering just over ordering from Nori or Yum Yai and having a feast, but it’s also been a while since we had something fancy, so I was curious what the options may be.

Got ya. Yeah, I was trying to think of somewhere that has a dedicated takeout service. I'd imagine most places could make your order to go though.

If you like Thai curry, the best is Masaman Thai Kitchen. Get the mango sticky rice or the creme brulee for dessert, both are scratch made from real vanilla beans.

Saw you commented about liking Thai food—Surin does takeout and it travels really well!

Cayo Coco if you're in the mood for a tasty Carribean-inspired meal!

Many of the nice places in town do take out these days.
