点评:Chanta is a nice, little Eastern European restaurant near the University of Tampa. Two of us were there early because we had a show at the Straz. For most of the time on this Tuesday evening we were the only diners, but it did pick up as we concluded our meal. Service was friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere.
We started with a dish on their early-diner menu (until 6:30pm), Vinete, a very nice eggplant spread with bread and some nice tomatoes and cheese on the side. Not too much else appealed on the early menu, so the rest of our dinner was from the standard menu.
For starters we had the Cozze Chanta, a very good mussels dish, and a mediocre Caesar Salad. For mains we had the Chicken Paprikash which was tasty, but the chicken was a bit overcooked. We also had the Lamb Rack. It was a nicely composed dish with 4 chops, brown rice and 3 asparagus spears wrapped in a piece of bacon. The flavors were nice, but the entire dish was just greasy.
We had a bottle of wine, but I wasn’t impressed with the wine list and felt that pricing was high. We passed on dessert.
Out the door we spent over $100/person. At that price point I would probably not return. I want 5 stars when I spend that much.
翻译:Chanta 是坦帕大学附近一家不错的小东欧餐厅。我们两个人很早就到了,因为我们在斯特拉兹有一场演出。在这个周二晚上的大部分时间里,我们是唯一的食客,但当我们结束用餐时,情况确实有所好转。服务很友好,乐于助人,餐厅的气氛很好。
我们从他们的早晚餐菜单上的一道菜(直到下午 6:30)开始,Vinete,一种非常美味的茄子酱,配上面包,旁边还有一些美味的西红柿和奶酪。早期菜单上没有太多其他吸引人的东西,所以我们晚餐的其余部分来自标准菜单。
首先,我们吃了 Cozze Chanta,一道非常美味的贻贝菜,还有一份平庸的凯撒沙拉。对于主菜,我们吃了鸡肉辣椒酱,味道鲜美,但鸡肉有点煮过头了。我们还有羊架。这是一道精心制作的菜肴,有 4 块排骨、糙米和 3 根芦笋,包裹在一块培根中。味道不错,但整道菜都很油腻。
我们有一瓶酒,但我对酒单印象不深,觉得价格很高。我们传递了甜点。
出门我们花了100多美元/人。在那个价格点我可能不会回来。当我花这么多钱时,我想要 5 颗星。
