About Ballou's Restaurant & Wine Bar

Ballou's Restaurant & Wine Bar is known for its delicious food, with standout dishes including lobster bisque, mushroom and spinach ravioli, chicken tacos, falafel, and hummus. The cheese fondue, specifically the tiger cheese variety, is also a popular choice. The wine and tapas have been praised for their excellence, making it a great spot for appetizers and drinks.

However, there are some areas for improvement. The ambiance of the restaurant has been criticized for needing renovation, with the location of the bathroom and kitchen adjacent to tables being mentioned as a drawback. The wine list was once more extensive, potentially affected by Covid-related restrictions. The presentation of the food has also been noted for lacking.

The service and speed of attending to customers have been inconsistent, ranging from exceptional to slow and unfriendly, which negatively impacted the dining experience for some guests. Despite these issues, the food quality has remained a highlight of Ballou's Restaurant & Wine Bar.
