| - A friend and I decided to grab dinner and drinks on a Tuesday after work, and after seeing pictures of the patio on their Facebook page, we knew that's where we wanted to be!
At 6 p.m., the patio was maybe half full, and I appreciated the options of high top tables, low top tables, and comfy looking couches in front of the TVs and fireplace. We chose a low top table, which was really comfortable. Overall, I felt like I was hanging out on a friend's patio - it didn't feel "restauranty."
Our waitress was really nice and helpful; she could've gotten to us just a smidgen faster, but we weren't in a hurry, so I didn't mind.
Tuesday are half off glasses of wine, so we had a couple of glasses. For dinner, I ordered the raspberry fields salad - the chicken tasted fresh and warm, which was a nice juxtaposition to the cold salad greens and fruit. My friend got the firecracker shrimp tacos, which she said were really good . I thought they looked pretty interesting since it was a hard shell taco wrapped in a soft shell taco, and the shrimp were HUGE. It came with black beans and rice, and there wasn't much left, so I guess she did like it!
Overall, I think it's a great addition to Ballantyne, and I really hope it makes it since many others haven't. It seems like a nice, casual, restaurant with a lower price point than Vine (which is right across the street), and I'm excited to go back.
