| - I visited Table 49 in The Promenade at Fulton Ranch for lunch today. This was my first visit since it opened. The restaurant itself has colorful decor, especially above the grill (may be from the previous resident Sautee), and the glassware was swirly. Unfortunately, hip-hop music was playing throughout the restaurant - not exactly conducive to older patron dining.
I was seated as soon as I walked in, likely because there were few people dining there, but noticed the 3 waitstaff loitering in front of the grill. My server was nudged by another to take me to my table. While she brought me water with lemon at the get-go before taking my drink order, I was at no time offered bread. Not that I would have been able to eat it (I'm g-free), but still...
I ordered the filet mignon blue cheese salad, which seemed the safest, since it comes without croutons. It was fine (butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, applewood bacon & blue cheese sprinkles), though the buttermilk blue cheese dressing had too much bite for my taste. Presentation was simple & elegant. My server checked back with me twice, but never offered to refill my iced tea.
The lunch menu items are the same as what's served through the day (appetizers, burgers, salads, flatbreads, pastas), with entrees excluded till evening. The menu itself had at least two typos on it (really, "Hapy Hour"?) and I found the prices excessive for the area. I understand having to work out the kinks, but I think this place needs more than just some fine tuning. I probably won't go there again.
