Melanie seems to be mostly puff, from what I have seen in the magazine.

Melanie's review of Lentini's knocked the:
"filetto di manzo ai funghi con profumo di tartufo (beef tenderloin sautéed with fresh mushrooms and truffle oil, $24) was also mediocre. A heavy, oily sauce, overwhelmed with truffle oil, covered the tenderloin. I love truffles, but this dosage overpowered the beef as well as the large portions of portobello and button mushrooms."
My wife, I, and our nephew (a professional waiter from Birmingham). loved the dish, particularly the truffle sauce, which we feel makes the dish. Both my wife and I have reordered it on subsequent visits (the nephew's back in AL -- only visited once).
Oh, well. Guess that's why Churchill Downs is in business.

No, I didn't ... as I said, I rarely see the mag in print, and the Website - at lesat until recently - has been updated only sporadically, so I'm out of the habit of checking it. Tell me more! I hope they didn't bash BNA.
