Restaurant 3

Review by Sue on August 11, 2008

The idea of an upscale Southern American restaurant, with vegetarian options!, in convenient and hip Clarendon really lit my fire, but unfortunately the value of the actual experience put the flames out pretty quickly. I can't point to anything bad per se: the service was excellent (though, would have been nice if they asked if we wanted more bread instead of just taking away the empty bread basket), the ambiance - while staid and sterile and catalogue-esque (kind of like a place your grey-haired parents would take you) - was fine, the taste and presentation of the food was OK. But nothing was stellar, especially for the price. Restaurant 3 masters the basics of new restaurant requirements, but doesn't add any original, surprising flair to leave you wanting more, leave you aching to return. Instead, you depart having filled your belly with merely expensive ordinary food, with no intentions to return.
