For years, friends have raved about this place. And as someone who was once working within the Food Industry, I’ve heard my fair share about the greatness of Tim Love! I’m a huge fan of his restaurant concepts.
As much as I wanted to LOVE this place, I just didn’t.
While I will say the entrees we had were fabulous, I guess I am not seeing the appeal of this restaurant as a whole.
The entire dining experience we felt rushed. The concept that it is highly recommended that you order ALL courses at once is off putting. When we told the waiter we wanted to just order an appetizer first and enjoy our drinks and mull over the menu, he seemed taken back. And then made it seem like he was doing us a favor by going out of protocol to place an appetizer order for us. It was as though he would have to pull strings so that we could order an app and enjoy our drinks leisurely.
We ordered the Fettine appetizer and it came to our table before our drinks even. Drink service was extremely slow.
Shortly after enjoying a sip of our drink, We felt obligated to order the rest of our meal right away, and within a moment, our entree was there.
The presentation for the Redfish was really cool, and my husband said he enjoyed his Tenderloin quite a bit, but this place truly left me with an ik feeling overall.
Ambiance is okay, but the seating is very tight.
And again, the meal made me feel like I was being rushed. For a fine dining experience, I’m not expecting to be rushed the entire time.
I understand it was a busy Saturday and perhaps things would be different on a different night, but I would not recommend.
