We are new to the area and tried Burntwood for the first time last night and will make it a regular spot. They had me at pumpkin ravioli! It is an appetizer but the portion is large enough to be an entree. From there we just had sanwiches, which were good too, but look forward to trying entrees in the future.
The ambiance is among the coolest we've been with cozy tables for 2 or large groups. We moved to the large bar area for a nightcap too, as the area is just as inviting.
I don't understand the negative reviews because everything (except a crabby hostess) was excellent.
