(Google 번역 제공) 우선, 생일 선물로 갔는데, TikTok 덕분에 처음 가봤어요. 남편과 저는 이곳에서 식사할 생각에 너무 설렜어요. 분위기도 정말 좋았고, 조명도 어두컴컴했고, 편안한 부스 좌석도 좋았어요. 모든 테이블에 조명이 켜져 있었고, 음악도 너무 크지 않고 분위기에 딱 맞는 수준이었어요. 하지만 굳이 지적할 게 있다면, 사람들이 드레스 코드를 지키지 않았다는 점이에요. 물론, 레스토랑은 적절한 복장을 갖추지 않았음에도 불구하고 손님들을 맞이해 주었기 때문에 큰 문제는 아니었어요. 화장실도 아주 깨끗해서 저처럼 공중화장실을 이용하기 싫어하는 사람들도 편하게 이용할 수 있었어요.
서비스는 최고였고, 환영받는 기분이었고 가족 같은 분위기였어요. 저희 서버는 조이였는데, 조이가 바베큐 파티에 초대됐어요. ㅎㅎ 조이는 저희에게 농담도 건네주고 모든 걸 자세히 설명해 줬어요. 틱톡에서 몇몇 사람들이 음료와 음식을 혹평하는 바람에 제가 음식과 음료를 고르는 데도 도움을 줬어요. 그리고 저희 테이블에 앉자마자 따뜻한 칭찬을 해주신 젊은 여성분께 정말 감사드려요!
자, 이제 음식 이야기로 들어가 볼까요? 에피타이저로 남편이 시저 샐러드를 주문했는데, 정말 맛있다고 하더라고요. 모든 게 아주 신선했어요. 저는 매콤한 토마토 소스에 펜넬과 루꼴라를 넣은 이탈리안 크랩케이크를 주문했는데, 제가 먹어본 크랩케이크 중 최고였어요. 다른 곳에서도 크랩케이크를 많이 먹어봤는데, 단연 최고 세 가지 안에 들 거예요. 음료는 남편이 훈제하고 피칸과 베이컨을 얹은 올드 패션드로 시작했고, 저는 패션 마가리타로 시작했는데 정말 맛있었어요. 퍼플 피콕도 주문했는데, 많은 사람들이 별로라고 하더라고요. 취향에 따라 다르겠지만요. 저는 퍼플 피콕이 제일 맛있었어요. 라벤더 향이 살짝 났는데, 강하지 않고 생각보다 훨씬 달콤했어요. 남편과 저는 로제 스파클링 상그리아를 주문했어요. 음료에 라즈베리와 자몽에 실제 달콤한 히비스커스가 들어 있었고 정말 상쾌했습니다. 앙트레로는 약간 큰 부분이 있었는데, 우리는 매운 리가토니, 라자냐 볼로네제, 치킨 파마산, 허브 크러스트 연어를 주문했습니다. 지금 제가 가장 싫어하는 것은 매운 리가토니였는데, 양념보다 향신료가 더 많았기 때문입니다. 하지만 제 남편은 그것을 좋아했습니다. 제 남편은 또한 치킨 파마산이 너무 맛있고 신선한 파마산과 모짜렐라를 사용해서 누군가의 엄마가 부엌에서 요리하는 느낌이 들었다고 말했습니다. 라자냐 볼로네제는 풍미가 가득했습니다. 저는 절대 천국에 있는 것 같았습니다. 소스가 충분했고 요리의 어떤 면도 건조하거나 부족하지 않았습니다. 마지막으로 앙트레는 허브 크러스트 연어였고 제가 가장 좋아하는 것이었습니다. 제가 연어를 정말 좋아해서 연어에 편향되어 있지만, 이 연어는 정말 맛있었습니다. 연어 위에 얹은 크러스트는 정말 맛있었는데, 레몬을 짜서 먹으니 풍미가 더해졌고, 비린 맛은 전혀 나지 않았어요. 그냥 먹기 좋았어요.
디저트는 타로 카드에서 어떤 디저트가 나올지 골라봤는데 정말 멋진 경험이었어요. 카드에 적힌 디저트는 에스프레소 마티니, 티라미수, 그리고 테이블사이드 봄볼로니였는데, 세 가지 모두 정말 훌륭했어요. 하나만 고르기 어렵지만, 굳이 하나를 고르라면 테이블사이드 봄볼로니를 선택할 것 같아요.
전반적으로 모든 양이 적당했고, 양념을 따로 넣을 필요가 없었어요. 조이 덕분에 상상 이상의 경험을 할 수 있었어요. 제 생일 저녁 식사로 정말 좋았고, 생일 선물로 아이스크림도 받았어요. 정말 멋진 경험이었고, 팀파노스에 꼭 다시 올 거예요.

First off, let me start by saying I went for my birthday and it was our first time going thanks to TikTok. My husband and I were more than excited to eat at this place. The atmosphere was very nice. It was dim lit, the comfortable booth seating was a plus. They had the table lights on every table music playing not too loud just right for the environment. However, if I have to critique anything, it would be people not following the dress code, and though this says nothing for the restaurant because they still accommodated people, although they were not dressed appropriately. The bathrooms were very clean also for those that don’t like to use public bathroom like myself.
The service was top tier, I felt like I was welcome and it felt like a family vibe. Our server was Joey and Joey is invited to the cookout lol. Joey cracked jokes with us and explained everything in great detail, he also helped me make some food and drink choices because some of yall on Tik Tok was bashing some of the drinks and food options. And to the young lady who offered me such a lovely compliment upon being seated at our table I appreciate you boo!
Now let’s get into this food. To start off for appetizers, my husband had a Caesar salad which he said was very delicious. Everything tasted very fresh. I had the Italian Crabcake, which had a spicy tomato sauce with fennel and arugula which was one of the best crabcakes I’ve had and I’ve had a lot of crabcakes at different places and it is definitely in my top three. For drinks my husband started off with an old fashioned which was smoked and topped with pecans and bacon, and I started with a passion margarita, it was quite delicious. I also had the purple Peacock, which a lot of people did not like I just think it depends on your pallet. I enjoy the purple peacock. It was a hint of lavender. It wasn’t overpowering, and it actually was sweeter than I thought it was gonna be and my husband and I both tried the rosé sparkling sangria. It had an actual sweet hibiscus in the drink raspberry and a grapefruit, and it was really refreshing. For entrees this is where it got a little big back-ish we ordered, the Spicy Rigatoni, Lasagna Bolognese, Chicken Parmesan, and Herb-Crusted Salmon. Now for me my least favorite was the Spicy Rigatoni but only because it was more spice than seasoning. My husband however loved it. My husband also said the Chicken Parm was so flavorful and they used fresh Parm and Mozzarella which made it feel like someone’s mom was cooking in the kitchen. The Lasagna Bolognese was packed with some much flavor I was in absolute heaven, it had ample sauce and no part of it was dry or lacking in any aspect of the dish. Lastly, for entrées was the herb crusted salmon, and it was my favorite. I mean I’m biased to salmon because I really love salmon, but this salmon was so good. What ever the crust was on top of the salmon was delicious squeezing that lemon on there just brought out even more flavor, there was no fishy taste. It was just good eating.
For dessert we chose from the tarot cards to determine what we would get which was a great experience. The cards choose A Espresso Martini, Tiramisu, and the Tableside Bomboloni. All three were absolutely amazing. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to pick a favorite, I probably would go with the Tableside Bombolini.
Overall, all of the portion sizes were very reasonable and we did not have to add any seasonings to anything. Joey made our experience more than what we could have imagine. It was a very good birthday dinner for me and I got complimentary ice cream for my birthday as well. It was a great experience and we will definitely be returning to Timpanos.
