| - I thoroughly enjoyed dinner here with a date for a romantic evening. I hoped it would be a little more cozy and intimate and a little more formal, but I like the reasonable prices. A better steak then the Capital Grill and half the price. My date has severe medical dietary restrictions, so I called ahead to ask about their menu and the receptionist said the server would have information available when we arrived. I made an appointment the evening before for 6:45 and then I changed it to 8 with no problem. (The Masserati parked out front with a dealer decal on the door is tacky, but the rest isn't snooty or haughty at all.) We arrived at 8:05 and were seated immediately. There were only two people waiting in the lobby and the dining room was not full, and this was Saturday night. We were seated at a table for two across from each other and it would have been nice to be side by side. Also, the noise level is a bit much; it wouldn't hurt if they put up some drapes to reduce the din. The server delivered menus quickly and returned to take our order quite soon. I had the steak with pinapple glaze which was epic, and I've lived in Kansas so I know a good steak and I've lived in Hawaii so I know pineapples too. I like my steak done, not mooing, and ordered it medium-well and that is just what I got not some burnt outside raw inside piece of charcoal from a cook too full of himself. But enough about me. My date explained her restrictions to our server and he explained what the kitchen could do to accommodate her and even checked with the kitchen and returned quickly with an answer. My date completely enjoyed her meal as well by the look of her plate when done. If you are looking for a nice restaurant in Ballantyne, look no further. I originally looked up 131 Main based on a recommendation from a hotel clerk, and she deserves my thanks for the suggestion. (If you're wondering, celiac and lactose intolerant. No digestion distress following dinner.)
