| - Tony Roma, Rainbow
- 4 Stars for the ribs and margarita; 3 stars for the overall experience.
My wife and I love to go to Tony Roma's for its babyback ribs in various cities. We went to this location (after its renovation) on a Thur evening for Happy Hour and dinner.
- The ribs and margarita were great, as were the hostess and the wait staff. But we did not like its pull pork sandwich - much too bland! The HH was OK but no excitement.
DINNER:
- The babyback ribs ($18, whole slab) were tasty as ever, though the portion seemed to be smaller than usual. The pull pork sandwich ($7.5) was disappointing, however, with a pâté-like texture and a bland taste.
HAPPY HOUR (4-7):
- They have a small, nice bar counter with Sports TV's; no patio seating. One can have HH anywhere in the restaurant besides the bar. For HH drinks, draft beer, $3-4; wine, $4; house margarita, $5. The magarita is delicious.
At the bar coumter, wedid not see many young people: - The atmosphere was kind of low key, quite different from that at the Kona Grill or Gordon Biersch, where it is usually more lively, exciting, noisy, and crowded with people waiting in line. Well, the bar was almost full between 6-7, so Tony Roma must have its own followers.
- I'd guess that people who enjoy the type of happy hour atmosphere at Kona Grill or Gordon Birsch probably would not go out of their way to go to Tony Roma's just for its happy hour only.
The hostess at Tony Roma was cheerful and pleasant. The wait staff was friendly and attentive.
- We'll be back, for its delicious babyback ribs, but won't be going there just fot its happy hour.
