this is one of those split review--if I went by food alone--it would be a four or five--but the service leaves something to be desired --although it did get better as the night went on. so the good to excellent first--I had the baby greens salad and the risotto with artichoke and corn--Both were excellent--the salad was flavorful and had a terrific balsamic dressing--the risotto was also very flavorful--with a tomato base and a nice balance of artichokes and corn. the bread they served was also really good.--so for the food alone i will go back.
The service needs some work. first we got seated and then didn't see a waiter for a good 10 minutes--she then asks if we would like a drink--I ask her a question about a wine--she says she doesn't know--that she knows more about the reds than the whites--I had to ask her to go ask my question to the bartender--instead of coming back to our table--and answering my question--she goes off to another table and takes their order--so we got off to a pretty rocky start. As i said to my friend who I was dining with--the problem is in Phoenix with all the great restaurants with wonderful service--it is hard to spend that dining dollar on anything except great food and great service. So Tommy's needs to do some refinement and become the great restaurant ii is meant to be.
