For all you know, that poster could have been a shill for Little Joey’s Italian restaurant that is in the same area. Secondly, your post was vague about where the time was wasted and I’m not obliged to go to that forum for the details. More importantly, who cares whether the time was wasted waiting to get seated, waiting for you order, or waiting to be served, waiting is waiting and 3 hours to have dinner out is too long. My own personal experience (at least on a weekday) was positive. So let’s hear yours. OUCH!!!!! |

Hate to quibble but it is not a rumor. He was reporting what was written. Skip even told you who reported it. Is it a rumor if a reporter for a news station quotes a source? Didn't think so.
Here is the link to what Skip reported: http://home.comcast.net/~thevillagesgourmetclub/page2.html#T Personally I'll make up my own mind since there is only one report so far on this newer restaurant. But i do like the gourmet club's site. Last edited by Russ_Boston; 04-04-2010 at 09:19 PM. |

You can't just post reviews to the gourmet club. But still it is just one person's (actually 6 in the party) experience. Last edited by Russ_Boston; 04-04-2010 at 09:26 PM. |

Tell you what!! Rather than only believe the gurmet's (LOL) site, why don't you all join me on Thursday night at Taverna Red for a wonderful night of music and karaoke with DJ Patrick and his gang. Show is from 6 to 9 and you KNOW I'll be there.... Then we will have some first-hand critique of this place.

Just exactly where in the TOTV Forums is this Gourmet Club?

Boy Ed. You really need to read all the posts.
I gave you a link to the site. It is a very good site which lists all (most) of the restaurants in an around TV. It is broken down into 3 lists. One for inside TV, one for close to TV and one for outside the area. I have found their experiences very close to my own. I agree with Kathie though. Best making your own opinion and go ourselves. But the gourmet club is a good reference. |

Best Solution
How about everyone just check it out for themselves? We're all different and what matters to one or appeals to another might not always fit. If we were all the same, every restaurant/business would be owned and run by the same people. There would be no reason to do otherwise. I keep in mind what others say, but check it out for myself while keeping those comments in mind....positive and negative. Sometimes I end up agreeing...sometimes I don't.

Gourmet Club
Thanks Russ:
Over the years, I've tended to rely on and believe The Gourmet Club's website too, even more than comments made here on this forum - especially from posters (like EdVinMass) who don't sign their messages. I merely reported what I read. Someone else twisted my comment and never went to the source. Hats off to the leaders of The Gourmet Club. Good, bad or indifferent, they post actual experiences and do it with no advertising support, I notice. 'Nuff said! Skip |

Agreed. I think Ed just didn't realize that that resource existed.
I use that site like I do movie review sites. If the consensus is at least 50+% then I'll check it out myself. |

My home is just two miles from Taverna Red and I’ve already been there twice now and reported my personal experience and opinion, but here you are quibbling with me over references and links to other forums from afar. Can’t imagine why. You seem to be more interested in providing your opinion about another forum for restaurant discussions than you are in discussing experiences with this restaurant. TOTV has a fine restaurant forum, no need for me to go to gourmetville.com or whatever it’s called to see what some tweedle-dee has to say. Please, by all means, come back here and give us your impressions of Taverna Red after you’ve had a chance to dine there yourself. |
