MOLINE. If you have a layover in the Quad Cities and find yourself looking for a great place to eat dinner that is close to the airport, most locals agree that it's hard to beat this popular supper club. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, owner Bud Canfield's baby-blue restaurant enjoys a fine reputation for its family friendly atmosphere and home-style steak and prime rib entrées. The Skyline's specialty, however, is its catfish, rumored to be the best in the area. Before dinner, head out to the observation patio and enjoy a few cocktails from the bar. Reservations suggested. Also open for lunch during the week.

DAVENPORT. Relatively new on the dining scene, the Red Crow Grille has quickly gained a fine reputation for its elegant atmosphere and Continental menu. The cozy restaurant was designed with a Mediterranean theme in mind, with reds and grays as the dominant colors and an open-style kitchen. The Red Crow guarantees that its seafood is fresh by having it flown in from the coast, and Chef Dominic Riveria's innovative entrées include everything from bouillabaisse and New Orleans Style Pasta served with chicken and shrimp, to blackened Gulf scallops and Pappardell con Funghi. Follow these with a delectable dessert such as cheesecake covered with honey syrup or orange-polenta, and you will understand why the Red Crow's star has risen so quickly. Dinner reservations required.
