Smoky Mountain Pizzeria, Second Try

Kid Friendliness: high chairs provided. Coloring books, crayons. Balloons
Overall: Probably won't be a favorite for us.
Cost: $35 - $50 for a family of four. A little on the high end of family dining.
Favorite: Not sure.

We went here on a date this time, just the two of us. We were hoping for a pleasant dining experience, if not too romantic (the sports channel doesn't set that sort of mood, if you know what I mean) but we were disappointed. The service was worse than the first time we went: slow and inaccurate. For example, the waiter asked us three times if we'd like drinks before we had decided but once we'd ordered (a glass of Chianti) he took forever to bring it, finally muttering that he'd forgotten and brought it after the appetizer came.

As usual the food was tasty although not as outstanding as I remembered. I do know that some friends of ours say this is their absolute favorite place to come as a family so I'm willing to admit we might have gotten bad luck twice. Still, I doubt we'll go back often, even though it seems to be gaining a reputation as a popular hang-out place.
