Looking to try a new restaurant in the new year? It might be worth dining at one of the ten best restaurants in Evansville.

Here's a classic situation: You ask your significant other where he or she wants to eat, and the response is "I don't care. Where do you want to go?" So you run through the list of restaurants in your head, and none of them work for the other person. It's even worse when you have kids. My kids can tell you exactly what they don't want, but they don't have a clue what they actually do want to eat. To sum it all up, it can take entirely way too long to decide where to eat, and by the time a decision is finally made, you aren't even hungry anymore.
