| - Located in Trivoli Village, it's a charming development perfect for date night or a dinner out with the family. Made LV has gotten a lot of publicity lately so we decided to try it out. When we arrived we were told 15 minutes to get a table inside, 5 if we wanted outside, we picked wait 15 for inside. We told the hostess we'll grab a drink at the bar. Luckily, there was 2 seats together, we ordered a Bloody Mary for him which he found quite tasty and I had a vodka-club with muddled raspberries and a squeeze of lime, a simple concoction the bartender and I came up with since they didn't have any flavored vodkas. $17.00, normal for 2 cocktails. 15 minutes goes by, another 2 cocktails, $18.00, whaaaaaa? Okay. 30 more minutes goes by, where's our table? My husband asks the hostess about our table, she reassures him it's almost ready. 10 more minutes, I'm wasting away... Fortunately, I have muddled raspberries to chew on so I don't expire... Sitting and waiting an hour plus for our 15 minute table has given me to time to eye the decor which is very nice. Subway tiles line a counter and back wall area that has large chalkboards displaying different beers available. The tables are a dark wood with black metal chairs, a nice blend of farmhouse meets modern. What looks like reclaimed wooden planks line another large wall. The interior design and decor reminds me of something in Portland, Philadelphia or San Francisco, a nice change in scenery.
Finally, the hostess comes over to us and says our outside table is ready. Huh? I say we'd requested inside. Oh. She wanders away in a half confused, half annoyed state. She returns 5 minutes later and gets us a table inside. Our waiter attends to us pretty quickly, a friendly guy. He gets us waters and asks with apps we'd like to try. Husband orders the buffalo butcher-style wings and also we place our dinner order. I get the BBQ chicken with steak fries substituted for mac n cheese, and Hubby gets the clams with red potatoes, corn on the cob and chicken chorizo in beer broth. The apps arrive with dinner, but I famished so I won't complain. The wings were okay, nothing spectacular, they seemed a bit wet and flavorless. Presentation on the metal plates was a nice touch though. BBQ chicken was pretty tasty, the sauce was delicious. Hubby ate all his plate, but said it wasn't as good as he'd hoped for. We'd planned to get the s'mores nachos, but decided to walk around and get dessert somewhere else. All in all, ambiance was a hit, service (getting a table and apps separate from dinner) not so great (the waiter was a nice guy), price average ($63 for 2 people, minus cocktails). Not sure we'll return, looking forward to trying a couple other places getting a lot of talk right now.
