Tramonto

WHAT???

Talk about trying too hard... Visited for a night, lovely town but this place was hyped up way too much. I paid 25 bucks for a FLANK steak which was "the feature" with truffle mashed potatoes. Truffle oil proved to be the case since no truffles were to be found. Side was half of a broccoli plant complete with partially rotted floret, but cooked so that's ok. The wife's pasta was way too sweet and for a "seasonal" menu, pretty sure butternut squash isn't harvested in July. All garnished with an incredibly loud house band consisting of an amplified guitar, saxophone and a bass. Usually fine, but the place is the size of my living room. As far as having a conversation, fahhget about it!

Definitely trying

Tramonto is not perfect, but they do care a lot. We have been there and had to wait for a table and then wait for food, but as far as restaurants in this little town that are really trying to make the town better this one gets a 5. Both the owner/ chef and his staff seem like a bunch of kids really passionate about food and wine and service. On a good night the food is perfect, better than many restaurants I have been to in London or Toronto, on a bad night you will wait an hour, the staff will be charming, and the food will still be great. On top of it, it seems like this is the restaurant here that really tries to be better all the time. Their wine list has gotten quite good, they change their menu seasonally, and they are very involved in the community, doing fashion shows and fundraisers and stuff. They have gotten better, they are still getting better, but don't go there if you only have half an hour.

Decor better than service and food

Had the service been better then we may try again. But to have staff who ignore you, forget to top your glass up and are basically inadequate at the job they are doing............is BAD.

Great Place to eat!

We eat here all the time and love it! The room is Beautiful, the food is always great although a little slow if the place is really busy. The wine list has improved alot in the last 6 months and the new manager has greatly improved service!!! Good Job Guys!!!

Have been in the past - while the food is always acceptable only once has it been super (that was the gnocchi). This time we went for a bday party and while service was adequate it was not as attentive as it could have been. Timing of food was poorly done - long waits for food and drinks. While most of the meals people had were acceptable half of the party ordered the chicken picatta which was horrible. We all agreed very bland - boiled chicken and non-descript sauce. Side of broccoli was the most flavourful! Stick with pasta I guess...
