| - Tried Copper for the first time this week and it was good. I had high expectations after reading all the reviews, but needless to say, it's just A-OK for me. The big brother/sister to Blue Taj in Ballantyne, I was expecting a step up in all facets of the experience. Unfortunately, the only thing that was higher was the price. Yes, it's a little expensive, but the ambiance and feel of Copper is great. Outside of the putting green steps you enter in on, the restaurant is beautiful. Try to sit in the enclosed porch area as there's more light.
Started out with some garlic naan. For $3, not bad at all. It was tasty and the 3 sauces it's served with were a plus! Kept thinking if the regular bread was free though as I saw it served around the other tables...hmmm...oh well. Then we went for the Samosa, which was good, but I expected some more spice. The sauce it was served with was good and necessary. I went with a traditional dish of tikka masala, which was priced at $17. I thought it was good, but it was the exact same dish in flavor and size that I had at Blue Taj for lunch and it was $10. It's a traditional dish, so I shouldn't expect much variation. I also had some of my wife's scallop dish. The flavor was good, but the scallops were a tad undercooked in my opinion.
We had a restaurant.com coupon so the price was great. The reviews of it being pricey are correct, but the dishes, like my tikka masala are definitely able to split. If I go back again, that will be considered more in the ordering.
