A: glory be to tandoori eee i heart this place so much, and that means more than you. raj rani is the cutest, i swear she is hopped up on ginkgo biloba because you can come in with a party of 6+ and she never forgets the who's and the what's. appetizers are meh....but the chicken fraizee and chicken tikka are sexlectric. get the tikka and you will understand. special naan is flipping good as well, but i usually go with onion kulcha or pudina parantha. the bar is shiny and someday i will drink to drunk here...but i will not over do it because the last place you would want to be flailing around would be the ladies room stall. yes,it is still there...it's gone from disgusting to endearing. my favorite transition, actually. i have come here hungover..it's a miracle really. sweet lassi will cure many an ailment. the sticky balls are delish but if you go during buffet hours your balls will be hot, i prefer them chilled, better for the syrup. i highly recommend this place...i wish they were open for breakfast.

Q: negative

A: Remember when Burger King was actually somewhat decent? Pepperidge Farm remembers... I have dined with the King many a time across this fine land. I have watched their slow decline with sadness over the last thirty years. At one point, they actually challenged the Clown for burger superiority, but now, they're a weak shadow on the market, barely a player... ...and the BK at this location is a perfect example of why. EVERYTHING at this BK takes ten minutes. Doesn't matter what you order, be prepared to wait. It's always dirty. When I was a kid and worked at the Clown, we were always cleaning. There was usually one or two people on any shift whose sole job was to keep the lobby clean. This place is a hole. Why does the food taste weird? If I want BK, I actually make the drive to Deforest, rather than eat at this location, which is actually a stone's throw from my house. The food here tastes bad, bleachy, and wrong. What are they doing to the food? Fix thyself, King, and maybe I'll return. Until then, I will take my cheap, poorly constructed eats elsewhere.

Q: positive

A: First, I did not know it was a chain restaurant. That is a positive thing. Second, the decor and the menu are one of the best in our area, and definitely the best Italian. I love Italian food, and have waited 17 years for a good Italian spot in the Ballantyne area that was good and affordable. I am pleased. Third, and most importantly, perhaps - we have had GREAT service all four times we have eaten there. Every wait person has been very attentive and has had good people skills. Beyond that, Amanda, one of the managers, has come to greet us every time - even before she knew us. We came once on our anniversary, before we were regulars, simply mentioned we were celebrating, and were presented with a free dessert. I consider myself fairly snobby when it comes to food and wine (it's almost impossible to get 5 starts from me), and I have been quite satisfied. Decor, ambience, food, and people. Everything is wonderful!

Q: positive

A:
This place is quite good. I've had breakfast here (delicious breakfast burrito and bloody mary), lunch (I think we tried everything on the menu) and numerous cocktails (I recommend the Funky Monkey or whatever the banana colada-type cocktail is called). The service has always been excellent for me and I love that it is on the pool deck and such a convenient spot when I am doing some serious lounging. I really like it here. I'll be back.
