Consistently the BEST

by MarkLenz49

I love this place. My wife and I moved from Charleston South Carolina, a foodie Mecca, with a plethora of culinary delights on every corner. I immediately fell in love with the Looking Glass, an Oasis of culinary delight, in a sea of chain restaurants. The owner is there two to three times every day they are open, and takes the time to visit each table to ensure customers are satisfied. The menu is as diverse as our population, with Steak, Seafood, Chicken, salads, wraps, and a Tortellini dish with a New Orleans flavor that will make you want to hug the Chef. Dining is an elegant experience in an eclectic environment. There's even live Celtic music on the weekends and a desert menu to make even the strongest dieter cheat for one night. Every time I have guest in town, or a visitor at work, there's only one destination that will do. "The Looking Glass"

• Pros: Attentive Staff Excellent food and best Carrot Cake in Town

THEY LIED!

My girlfriend and I along with our daughter came in for breakfast on Valentines Day. I thought this would be a wonderful way to start out our day. We arrived at about 8 a.m., ordered about 15 minutes later. The coffee was wonderful...our waiter at first glance seemed promising as he attended to us. After waiting another 20 minutes for him to return to take our order our patients where growing thin. At about 9:25 our food got to our table, quick math that is AN HOUR AND A HALF after we ordered our food. I might want to add at this point that we where amongst a table of 4 and another party of 2.

I watched our food sit at a counter for 10 minutes.

Our food arrives cold, late and small.the portions where something from the kids menu. I ordered pecan waffles Envision 4 silver dollar sized waffles with a splash of pecan CRUMBS thrown over the top.

After confronting the owner, wich I do want to say at this point that she handled the situation with superb professionalism, I asked about the Cannoli's. Looking wonderful in the case I ordered 9 of them as Valentines treats. My total (just for the Cannoli's) $38.64

At first I do not think this registered because I left the restaurant not thinking a thing about it. After the poor service and still STARVING because I refused to either eat or pay for what FINALLY arrived at my table, I was just ready to take my Cannolies and go home.

After arriving home and looking at my delectable's I realized what I had just payed for them.

So I do the logical thing...call the restaurant and ask the price...$2.25. Another dose of quick math 9 Cannoli's at $2.25 is $20.25. So I find myself thinking huh?

Let me just put it simply I OVERPAID BY $18.39. And to boot the Cannoli's, which I had to eat after paying that much for was soggy and not fresh.

Between the service, cold food, and prices to take the breath from your chest I would NOT recommend this place to ANYONE unless you care more about ambiance than good food and good service.

Great Food, and Atmosphere

by scottebf

This was a great resturant, the food was prepared very nicely. Staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was very warm. This small cafe/resturant is a great choice if out in the Clarksville area. The Friday night I went they had a live band playing soft celtic music that was just loud enough so you could still have a conversation with the people at your table. The portions are very large. Most of the entres come with 2 sides unless it is a Pasta. Another great aspect of this place is that they have a BYOB policy with a cheap corkage fee. We had 2 bottles of wine for 5 people and it was $2.00 per person. The Looking Glass is a nice change from all the chain resturants in the area.

• Pros: Great Food, Friendly Staff, and a Cheap Corkage Fee
