I have a fundamental issue with a high end restaurant being on an end cap in a strip center.

The Republic started in an essentially empty strip center.EBrazosAg said:
Agreed. Can't tell you how many great neighborhood joints are in similar places in Houston or Dallas. No reason for it to make a hill of beans difference. But the Olive Garden has a great pad location for those who are strip center snobs

All do respect, if I wanted to eat in high end restaurants in strip centers on a consistent basis then I would move. No different than me not wanting to sit in traffic for an hour to drive 4 miles. Call it small town thinking but it's probably that quality that endeared you to moving here.....

I was at the Angry Elephant the other day and overheard the guy sitting two seats down telling the bartender about "It's the second best steak in town". Obviously my ears perked up wanting to know where he was talking about and he said 1860 Italia.
Can anybody attest to this sentiment?

We went a few weeks ago, I wouldn't necessarily describe it as "upscale" I went in flip flops and hawaiian shorts, but then I've been to Spago in flips and shorts so don't use my examples lol.
I'm a little different/new school, I don't really take dinning super serious. I'll go just about anywhere totally casual.

Does this place have a bar area to eat at?
Wife and I always prefer the bar area...however when I Goto make a reservation on their website it does not offer any bar area seating.

For me the noise level was the deal breaker. A place where you have to yell across the table isn't my preference.
Problem is it isnt a sports bar. It serves as an above to fine dining option in town. I dont want loud in that type of setting.australopithecus robustus said:Section327Ag said:

For me it's the exact opposite. I love the boisterous, big city feel to the place. We go out to have fun and enjoy good times. It's an adult party in there which the town needs more of....
