> [@Beck](#): > > tempo? how is it there? > > im thinking mothers or stillwater. Tempo is really nice, good service and great food, expect to pay upwards of $120 with drinks easily. Reservations to get a good time/table are necessary. Stillwater is also good but I feel there menu is pretty limited. Olivers and 31 Club are also good restaurants. ---

Leftbank for great food, atmosphere, not too expensive. Panos for good food at really good prices. I must be the only person on here who thinks Root 5 sucks. Their bar/patio is very nice, but I think their food sucks and is overpriced. ---

Their bar/patio is very nice, but I think their food sucks and is overpriced. when did you go to Root 5 last? our food sucked about a year and a half ago, but now its delicious (thanks to the left bank chefs, tony ferone and mark weatherbee plus we also have nick coleman, i think our prices are reasonable, but hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion. > [@Pass McGass](#): > > Well then I’ll definitely be checking that out.

Probably around that time. Used to go there alot (mainly to drink) as I used to live walking distance from it. Maybe its worth giving it another try. Was at Leftbank last about 3 months ago, food was still amazing! ---
