Where can I get some gorgeous, but not terribly expensive flatware?

We have the uptown, which has held up great for 8 years

Seconding Yamazaki. They don't make our line anymore, but we've had it for 12 years and it's still going strong. It was 18/8

Agree with other posters that you want the 18/10 stainless flatware. If you like Oneida, choose an Heirloom pattern which they continue to produce for years. That way, you can add to/replace pieces as you need them. Otherwise, buy a full set for 12 with serveware. It also is a good idea to buy extra teaspoons and salad forks since these are also used for desserts.
