This was our first time at Tanzy. Not surprising as it's only been open a couple of weeks. Arriving, I admired the sharp decor, fire columns and warm, upscale feel to it. What I didn't admire was what seemed to be a group of hostesses who largely were confused by their job. A bit of arguing and the "head" hostess just finally telling the others to just shut up and let her think. Not good in front of customers.
We arrived about 15 minutes early and were asked to wait in the lounge. Very proper as we were early and when our reservation time we were promptly seated. I could see why the hostesses were confused once I was seated. My wife and I were seated at a two-top and on the other side of the wall from us was a booth that could have seated eight occupied by two people while the restaurant was on a wait. Strange.
We ordered the Crispy Brussel Sprouts (as came highly recommended in other Yelp reviews), Tagliatelle Bolognese and Scallops with Chantrelle Mushrooms. The service was great and our server was pleasant with just the right amount of conversation. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were outstanding and I only wished I had another order! The Tagliatelle Bolognese was delicious as well and was so large that I didn't know how one person could finish it. Good thing we were sharing. The Scallops with Chantrelle Mushrooms were wonderful, well at least the scallops and mushrooms were. I couldn't eat much of the parsnip pear puree. The sweetness was a bit overkill for the meal as far as my taste was concerned.
The only thing that kept this review from being five stars was the music. It's right next door to the Salt lounge which has heavy techno beat music playing that permeates the entire restaurant making it feel like a club with dinner more than a restaurant with music. An upscale restaurant like this, you would expect something more appropriate. By the end of the dinner our nerves were just about frazzled.
While the food was great, for relatively the same price, we'll probably choose Ruth's Chris over Tanzy. It adds the fifth star for the same cost.
