We went to TYN Lounge back in January on Thursday when they still had the saxophonist and the date night tasting menu. We chose the Sautéed Shrimp, Seared Chicken Breast, and Boneless Beef Rib Eye and ordered the Duck Confit Pizza on the side.

The Sautéed Shrimp was crisp, flavorful, and was decent size. The bread that came with the shrimp was very soft and garlicky. I didn’t like the Chicken that much, it was rather bland. It’s very moist though. I would definitely recommend the Rib Eye and the Duck Confit Pizza. The fresh greens on the Duck Confit Pizza make a huge difference. The Rib Eye was tender; the only thing I didn’t like about the Rib Eye was the mashed potato. For me, it was too bland.

We finished the night off with molten cakes and ice cream. I really liked the dessert, would definitely go back just for the dessert.

The service was great that night, it was quite quiet when we initially arrived, but it started to pick up quite quickly.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere because there's a saxophonist that travels around the restaurant while you eat.

Overall, I really enjoyed TYN.
Considering we went at the beginning of the year, hopefully everything is still just as good.

Most clubs are gonna be filled with gangsta wannabes of all races no?

Go for dinner, I'm sure it's a chill crowd. Great food!
