| - My wife and I visited Tommy V's last night and had a great meal. I started with lobster bisque, which was a bit pricey at $11 for a half bowl, but the flavor was good and the consistency was smooth. The bread comes out warm and is very good. I had the short ribs, which were outstanding. Served with a pillowy gnocchi, it was a perfect match. My wife had the chicken cacciatore. The chicken was prepared a bit differently from that which we are used to, fried chicken instead of baked or roasted. But, the chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly.
We did encounter one issue in that the cacciatore had red peppers and had a fairly strong red pepper taste, which my wife didn't like, but we switched dinners and I finished her cacciatore. It was great and she enjoyed the short ribs. The owner heard she didn't like the meal and offered to remove the cost from our bill, but I told him that I enjoyed the meal and that wasn't necessary. Instead he sent out some great desserts for us to try on him.
In summary, our food was terrific, service was very good, and the owner took care of what could have been an unhappy experience. All was good.
