| - Table 274 is a hidden gem in Cotswold. I say hidden because it can be hard to find if you've never been to the shopping center it's in. Fortunately, it's worth the search! We were greeted by a host opening the door and then again by the hostess and again by the manager, who also helped seat us. Great first impression.
The ambiance is great; candles, fancy lighting, smells delish! Our server was excellent as well. She went out of her way to make sure we always had everything we needed and had great recommendations. She also went out of her way to comp a couple drinks when our food took almost an hour to come out... Which is the only reason I can't give Table 274 a 5 star rating.
We both started with Caesar salads that were amazing. Usually a Caesar salad is a Caesar salad, but this thing was awesome. Freshly made crunchy, garlicky croutons and very fresh, green romaine. The rolls were notable good as well, hot and crispy! We had a pretty random dinner, pesto sirloin, ricotta gnocchi and mac and cheese! They were all great. The steak was a little under at first, but they got it right after throwing it back on the fire for a few minutes. I should also point out that, as every great restaurant should, they totally redid the sides and garnish as well when they fired the steak again, so everything was hot and fresh when it came back. Like I mentioned before, it did take quite a while for our food to come out, but our excellent server (I think it was Shelley) kept us at bay by checking in often and making sure our drinks were full and offering more rolls. It really was worth the wait though. The gnocchi was pillowy and delicious and came in a delightful, summery ratatouille. In addition to fantastic food, the drinks were fantastic. Freshly made and tasted like heaven. I highly recommend the mi corazon that has fresh passion fruit (papaya? can't remember...) and blood orange. It was killer.
Overall, Table 274 was great. Service was fantastic and the food was outstanding. It wasn't terribly crowded, either, so I hope it sticks around for a second visit! Definitely make a reservation so you get a good table, but on a Saturday at 7pm, there were open tables in case you feel like just popping in unannounced.
