Restaurant "Weak"
A group of friends and I tried Tavolo for the first time this evening after having reviewed their menu for Charlotte's Queens Feast (aka Restaurant Week).
I typically start reviews with what I enjoyed most but on this occasion, there's nothing to rave over.
The main reason we selected this restaurant was for their clam linguini and the PEI mussels - but they were out of both on this second day of restaurant week.
The atmosphere was lackluster, the staff was wearing yoga clothes and Nike running shoes.
There were gnats swarming the table (see photos) and the marinara sauce made high school cafeteria food seem like high-end cuisine.
I am embarrassed to have suggested my friends accompany me to this restaurant and will not return in future.
