The other Sunday I visited Tofenell's to eat lunch with 2 friends of mine and their 3 year old daughter. I really enjoyed certain aspects of this restaurant but I left disappointed in the end.
Ambiance-There is no denying that Tofenelli's has the best patio in the county but even when it's out of season their two dining rooms are fantastic. One is a sunroom full of light, and the other is charming with original brick walls.
The French Fries are Perfect! I prefer thin cut crispy fries and this is exactly how they make them here so I'm impressed.
Nuetral- service (friendly but brought the 3 year-old's food out 5 minutes after the adults were served and all parents know that hungry children make for an unpleasant experience).
Cons- Medium rare hamburgers come out rare and the beef they use is substandard big agra beef. There is no excuse for that when Jernigan's makes their burgers with premium Niman Ranch hamburger meat. When such amazing quality beef nearly grazes in your back yard what is the point of using anything else.?Also- Cream should NOT come from those little packs. They make a mess of the table where you eat and creates unnecessary waste.
In summary- eat here if you don't have kids, and if the only thing you want to eat is french fries.
