“ Chef Jim and sous chef Tanner killed it again! The seared scallops in carrot butter!!!!!! Chef's kiss! For my main course, the porcini fettuccine (house made pasta) in Marsala sauce! Nom nom. The vintage space completed the entire experience. ”
“ I ordered the halibut special they had with a carrot butter, it came served in a cast iron dish with seared apples, potatoes, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. The halibut was absolutely delicious and came perfectly cooked, I don't often say that a fish was perfectly cooked as it is extremely easy to overcook fish but this was truly perfect, it was soft and juicy, paired well with the butter, the only thing I didn't enjoy all that much was the portion of potatoes, I feel the dish would be better paired with more potato rather than the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. ”
“ Chicken parmigiana was perfect. Desserts were perfect. Look no further. This restaurant has no comparison, whether NY or Paris. ”

“ I have to be transparent about having low expectations on Midwest dining but.. do not let this hidden powerhouse fool you, Timpone's is one not to miss sis. The food was fresh, and very tasty. Pasta and seafood included! Salads were delicious and dessert was so yummy too. The key lime was just superb. Perfect for a date night and they have a martini list as long as the menu. Lol Service was so friendly and informative. Definitely recommend a visit, but don't forget a reservation!!!! They have unique hours! ”
“ This place is unbelievable and has never disappointed. This trip I had the baked Alaskan cod, crabmeat crust, lobster sauce. It was exceptional prepared perfectly, the cod was white and flaky, the crabmeat fresh and tasty, and the lobster sauce exquisite. My date had one of her favorites butternut squash ravioli. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente firm to the bite, the squash filling was very tasty as was the sage- brown butter sauce. The third person in our party had the wood grilled leg of lamb. Cooked to perfection pink center with a crusty dark edge, served on a bed of saffron risotto which was excellent choice to accompany the lamb, and it was all surrounded by a delicious lamb shank ragout. For cocktails I had a delicious makers mark old fashioned before dinner, a glass of white wine with dinner, and a 20 year Tawny port with dessert. All were prepared well with generous pours. If you haven't you have to try this place you won't be disappointed. ”
