| - You must go eat at Ticoz. Really. It's great. I'm not kidding or exaggerating. If you happen to have food allergies, things you avoid on principal, stuff you hate, or are just generally picky, this is the place for you. Saturday night found me with two wonderful friends looking at a menu that was overwhelming. The whole experience started much as every restaurant experience starts. Greeting, seating, menus, panic attack. The server (who was lovely, but who's name I cannot remember) came by to ask what we would like. Given that all of us have some dietary challenges, we start throwing the questions at him. He doesn't know the answers, but he vows to figure it out. Usually, this does not end well, see the open letter to our sandbar server. We just get back to our conversation when chef Holly appears at our table. Everything on the menu is her brainchild and she knows exactly how to answer every one of our questions.
Not only did Chef Holly answer our questions, she created an entirely new dish for one friend (it was incredible), whipped up a lemon apricot vinaigrette salad dressing with enough for leftover containers, and took back my chicken when it came covered in parsley. All this is impressive, but what made the experience incredible was her attitude. It was obvious that she was excited about food. She saw the challenge in creating something for us. She told us that no one has ever gotten sick from her food and she was going to make sure we weren't the first.
In the end, all the service is amazing, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the staff is great. But the food is incredible!! This is pretty important, since we were there for the food. All around, this was an awesome experience. So, go to Ticoz. Chef Holly will take care of you.
