Loved the ambiance. Disappointed by the food.
Hubs and I met a couple friends at Tender during restaurant week. The menu listed on the restaurant week website did not look very appealing to me but the regular menu had some interesting finds that I thought would be tasty. Upon arrival, we found out that the only menu they had was their restaurant week menu and some bar snacks. Not to mention that the restaurant week menu was not the same as what was listed on the website. Therefore, if you wanted to eat a meal, you only had the restaurant week menu option which was $25 for an app, entree and dessert. There were three selections for app and entree and two for dessert. I had the hot chicken for an app. Reminded me of a spicy boneless wing. The burger for entree which I ended up giving half to hubs because he did not care for his pasta dish. I tried the pasta and had to pass as well. (And this coming from a carb addict!) For dessert, I had the gingersnap and peach ice cream sandwich. The ice cream was melted and the cookies were hard. On the other hand, I repeatedly stole bites of hubs deconstructed key lime pie which I usually hate. The highlight of our meal, the beer our server suggested to us which I can not remember for the life of me! All in all, Tender seems like a good place to get a drink and a snack before or after a meal. If I do return, I will do so on a full stomach.
