Restaurants near Ave Maria University

Had a great experience at Tommy Bahamas. Service was excellent, food was great and the atmosphere was very pleasant. We ate outdoors on a slightly cool day and the heaters above kept it very comfortable. It’s a well run restaurant.

We were sat in a harshly high-lit smallish room that felt like a noisy event space or cafeteria. It was busy at 5:45! So I guess we were relegated to the less pleasant ambiance of the main dining area which is low lit and cozy. Food and service were both good however. So it’s the luck of the draw but would be so much better if they did more table lighting and turned down the overheads in that seating space.

My husband and I enjoyed a special not on the menu Waygu beef filet that we shared. Fabulous and cooked perfectly medium rare! And so was the carrot cake for dessert! That and a glass of Malbec made the meal!

Friends wanted to return for the "Early seating " before 5 pm for the value dinners and drinks. This was our first time and we were reluctant to dine so early. We left happy, well fed with enough for a second dinner tonight. The house wine was very good and at 6 the entertainment was just beginning. It was a delightful atmosphere, great service and equally great food and drinks . I would return again to experience the menu as a whole, not just the early offerings before 5 pm. The only problem with dining later appeared to be very tight parking. Not too much of a deterrent.

Once again an OUTSTANDING experience. So many great places to choose from in this area but we feel CH is at the top! Can’t beat their service, the food and wine are exceptional. My wife raves about the GF menu too. Our server Racheal went above and beyond. Ask for her, she’s the best. That said, I can’t recall that we’ve ever had anything but great servers.
