Simply Delicious!

by timetosay at Citysearch

This restaurant is for those who want something different and great food! Very intimate atmosphere...good for a night out for two. Very modern, but, quaint. Everything we tried was excellently prepared and presented. Sea Bass was great! We had a lot of seafood-type dishes, including the seafood bisque. Nothing but fresh taste hit our taste buds! Desserts were the perfect finish, not too heavy. Try the trio of creme brulee(s). Waiter was very helpful and came to our table at just the right frequency, without us having to flag him down. Couldn't ask for a better night for two.

Nice place for a quiet dinner

by JJandCarolyn at Citysearch

We went here for our Anniversary on a Friday night... Kind of a weird location, but once you're inside it's nice and contemporary. We liked the service; the waiter was friendly, helpful, and informative... without being overbearing. We had the Braised Pork Belly for an appetizer. It melted in our mouths and tasted delicious. We had the Duck and the Raviolo and they were both delicious... They also served up complimentary fresh baked bread with a "different every day" cream cheese with unique flavor combinations. We had a Crème brûlée sampler for dessert and it was also delicious.

I don't know how some of these other people came away hating it. Maybe they work for competing restaurants, or caught them on a bad night. We had a great time.

Terrible! Will not Be Going Back

by bda2clt at Citysearch

My husband and I were really excited about trying Global after reading all of the great reviews......Did we go to a different restaurant?

Our food was terrible, I couldn't finish my starter or main course and my husband struggled through his. To make matters even worse, after spending over $160 for two, my husband was SICK shortly after we got home. I called the restaurant to inform them that they should investigate what might have made him ill so to prevent someone else from getting food poisoning! The chef owner was very rude and unapologetic. I was shocked.

WHAT A HORRIBLE EVENING! Save your money and stomach and go elsewhere.

BAD expensive food!!

by Lbrown2 at Citysearch

WORST food we've had in years and the most expensive! The meat, lamb, we had was presented like a bowl of mush. Not only did the sauce taste bad, but the meat was OLD!! Old rotting meat!! The She Crab soup had dryed ground up freezer burnt pieces of fish in it!! The Paella was not good and tasted of corn starch. The other soup, escarole, was identical to blended grass with water, salt and red pepper in it. IF, we ate it, we would be running to the bathroom. Had to return it, so bad! I'm sorry we did not talk to friends about it first, they had same bad food and said never go there. Service was also poor. How does a restaurant get away with serving old meat?

Eclectic Menu for those wanting a taste sensation

by jos710 at Citysearch

A variety of menu items well prepared and presented in a manner that you will not find just anywhere. The food is excellent. The ambiance shouts classy. The dining experience is relaxed and unpretentous. The waitstaff is pleasant and friendly. It's location keeps it tucked away, but it's worth finding in a Ballantyne office complex.

The first time I dined there, I found the menu to have so many things I wanted to try that the only solution was an appetizer "tower" that allowed me to experience a variety of dishes, while not having to commit to just one item.

New diners may want to give that a try.
