| - I guess I'm in the minority, but I really wasn't terribly impressed with Tommy V's. Based on the reviews, I picked this restaurant to celebrate my Birthday, but was pretty disappointed in the overall experience. The restaurant itself is cute enough, big, with a rather benign vibe. It wasn't too crowded on the Friday we went, and we were seated in a corner.
We started off with some appetizers. I had the fried burrata, which I found to be pretty darn good. Nothing crazy, but simple and nice. For dinner I had the spaghetti carbonara. Let me start off by saying I LOVE CARBONARA. I get it for special occasions often. This carbonara tasted mostly of pepper. It was so overwhelming, I couldn't taste the pancetta or anything else. I also wasn't a fan of the squash in it (something I hadn't seen before).
At the end, the waiter did bring me a dessert, for my birthday, but unfortunately it was chocolate mousse, which isn't something I enjoy. Alas, it's ok because I was mostly turned off at that point anyway. I found the service here to be pretty good, especially because our waiter put up with all of us.
All in all, I'm not sure if I was wowed enough to come back, but I also wouldn't not come back. We shall see what the future brings...
