"We dined here last night with my husband's company for a retirement dinner and were seated in the center of the restaurant in a round room all to ourselves. We had several waitstaff and they were all decent, not really sure if it was better than average service that one might expect for this nice of a restaurant. They did seem to take good care of the President and VP of Marketing who sat at the other end of the table (who were picking up the tab), and our service wasn't bad, but certainly not super special. \n\nWe had a predetermined menu to choose from and I had french onion soup, chicken and cheesecake. The soup was nice, good bread and cheese on top and not crazy salty. The chicken was served with a crab meat infused sauce and polenta that was ok, but I wouldn't get it again if we were to return because of sauce which I just didn't care for.The polenta and asparagus served with it were both cooked nicely and a nice complement to the chicken. The cheesecake was creamy and had a nice flavor though I would be hard pressed to say it was the best I had ever had. The tiramisu that others chose was served in a sundae type glass and looked very good.\n\nMy husband got.the filet and shared a couple of bites and it was very good...super tender and nicely spiced.\n\nOverall, it was a nice visit, my glass was never empty, our group of 20 or so had plenty to eat and the decor is very nice. Easy access and parking garage make the Ballantyne area restaurant a nice choice."^^ . . .
