Read MoreI dined at Tin Cup Grille for the first time this evening with some friends, and aesthetically the restaurant is gorgeous. Great ambiance, great lighting, and very clean.Since we were new to the place, we asked the waitress a few questions and she opened explained some things to us. We didn’t know they had a rooftop bar, pretty cool. We also didn’t know there was a downstairs. Once she pointed that out, I immediately noticed the subtle vibrations of the band playing. It wasn’t enough to be a huge distraction but given the more elegant atmosphere of the dining areas..it was unwelcome. I will typically go online to find a menu and scour some photos before dining at a new place. I was more than happy with most of the items on the menu. The others I was with found some items they wanted to try as well. When we were handed our menus..we wondered where some of the items were that we saw online. They actually have two different menus..a dinner menu, and a lunch/lower floor menu. The lower menu has more “bar food” wings, burgers, etc. We asked if we could order some items off of the lunch/lower level menu…and they were able to accommodate our request. Overall the server was relatively polite, attentive, but had a slightly condescending attitude…We each ordered something completely different, and drinks/cocktails.The drinks were mixed well and very good.We ordered a burger, chicken wings, a crab cake, shrimp and grits, chicken parm, and a caesar salad.I can only weigh in on the items I personally ordered, and that was the crab cake and the shrimp and grits. Overall I thought the presentation was excellent. 8.5/10My crab cake was served with a corn chutney and a bed of arugula. Both of which were pretty good. The crab cake itself was extremely salty, and wasn’t my favorite. Maybe I’m naive, but I didn’t think these items meshed very well together. I enjoy an aioli with a crab cake, but the corn chutney didn’t cut the abundance of salt found in the crab cake. 5/10My shrimp and grits texturally were great. The shrimp themselves were also great, although very annoying to deal with the tails in a saucy dish. The blackened seasoning on the shrimps were great, but similar to my crab cake I thought everything was overly salty. At home I cook with cream, cheeses, and other salty ingredients often so balance of flavors while layering is key. This tasted like a sauce that had been salted too heavily early and reduced which enhanced that flavor to a 12/10. I also didn’t find or really taste any of the andouille listed in the description. 6/10.The other food coming out and desserts looked very very good and there are other things I’d like to try. My party enjoyed the chicken parm, and the wings. The burger was meh for the price based on feedback at my table.Overall, it’s a cool place and I’ll give them another shot. I just expected it to be a bit better of an experience for the cost. I had dined at Homestead last weekend and was blown away. This wasn’t quite up to par.Parking: Ample amounts of parking in garage. Short walk.
