My Husband and I had a rare night out and Burntwood Tavern popped into my head because I had been there two times with girlfriends. Once just for drinks in the bar and once for dinner in the covered outdoor bar. Both times nice drinks and tasty food. So. Complimentary valet is always nice. Interior decor is fabulous. We were seated at a table for two with a fringed tent like overhead. There were many groups of friends sharing a meal and a large birthday party on the open second floor. As an interior design artist I am in love with the décor. So many custom design pieces like the welded distressed metal light fixtures. So. Meal wise. Our waitress was slow but we inquired and learned there were a few call offs so she was working the large party upstairs, several group tables. And us. My VIP martini with gorgonzola stuffed olives dirty was delicious. Wine list is nice and not super expensive. The special was lobster bisque and prime rib. So even though the menu has a lot of delicious looking items, those are two of my favorite dishes so I ordered them. The calamari was good. But the tomato relish dip was really tasty. The bisque was not so great as it tasted like they had put cheesewiz in it. It was too thick and cheezy. Also, our calamari came after my soup. Then we waited almost an hour for our main dishes. I told our waitress when it came that it had been way too long. She agreed and apologized. Later she said the manager offered to buy us dessert but we were full so our waitress took off the cost of the calamari. Over Two hour dinner. All together it was nice but a restaurant needs to have backup for short staff nights. We will still go there again and try some of delicious sounding flatbreads.
