| - Courtesy of AT&T and or Blackberry, my frozen phone would not allow me to photograph my meal at Tuscany Grill.. Oh well, words will just have to do..
After reading fantastic reviews about Tuscany Grill and since I live in the area, a decision to give this place a whirl was made.
The set up is your standard, bar on one side, restaurant on the other with a host-stand in between. The lighting is dim and combined with an option for a booth this could be a great place to take a date.
Perhaps I have not dined here repeatedly to receive that "Cheers" type greeting I've heard so much about, but all in all the service was slightly above Vegas's standard, mediocre. A few cheesy jokes warmed up our waiter and it was smooth sailing the rest of our meal.
Cocktails were strong, bread was warm, mozzarella and tomatoes were fresh, and my chicken picatta was delightful.
Would I categorize this meal as award winning, not really but would I eat here again, sure if my first two picks happened to be crowded. I just felt that for the price, just about $20 per entree (non-meats/seafood), you could get a very similar dish down the street (Black Mtn. Grill or Gaetanos) for less. Price isn't everything, I know, but if service isn't above average and the ambiance is about the same, why pay more?
