| - First of all, I love Todd's because the food is excellent, the service is excellent, and it's a fancy restaurant that's locally owned and down the street from my house. I love that they host wine and beer dinners regularly and that the menu is constantly rotating. I also enjoy that Todd has come out and made the rounds every time we've been in. It feels like a true local spot.
However, I have one comment to Todd/staff. My husband wanted to do something special for his bday this year, so we attended the February wine dinner (apologies for my tardiness in this review). The food was really good (until dessert, which was just ok), but the wines kinda sucked. Also, it was no bargain - at $120/head, it was one of Todd's pricier wine dinners.
Not sure if it was the fault of Todd or the winemaker, but I think it's tough for anybody to do an entire meal pairing consisting of only zinfandel blends. It's probably my own fault for not doing more research on the winery/wines to see what we would be having, but I put full trust in Todd. We were treated to scallops (yum) paired with a zin blend (weird). Salad with a zin blend. Salmon with a zin blend, short ribs with a zin blend, and finally a cannoli with a zin blend. Honestly, I tried the last 2 wines just to see if something had changed. I was so so so excited leading up to this dinner. The food and service did not disappoint, but the wines fell way short. Too bad!
