Tenement Redemption

February 20, 2003 Ah, Tenement. Mocking the botched opening of this Ludlow eatery has become a cottage industry around here. Last night, when pondering the question, "Where can I grab a quiet bite to eat, alone?" thoughts naturally turned to the vast expanses of empty dining territory in this three-story wonder. Sure enough, when we walked in around 8, we found a few folks chilling by the bar but no one dining. The manager couldn't have been friendlier: "Sit anywhere." We sat. And ate. Scallops to start that were nothing special, but great mac and cheese. A party of six women across from us looked like they were having a blast. By the time we left, the place was half full. Tenement, we repent. You deserve better. We'll be back, maybe even with some friends.
