| - Daddy Mac's is easy to miss if you are not searching for it. It is past Olympic on the downward slope and a quick right. I almost missed it, but my friend was on the lookout.
A stroll through the interior impressed both Carolyn M. and myself. The low lighting, dark wood, and pictures of Sinatra made it feel like old Vegas. As soon as we were in eyesight, the staff told us to sit anywhere. We were given menus right away and got our drink orders in.
A few minutes later, another person approaches our table and we find out that she was our server. It got confusing after a while due to the multiple people taking various portions of our meal, but it all got worked out. The communication between staff is shaky, but not a huge mishap.
We had found out that they were having happy hour and got to glasses of red wine off of the list of drinks that they make a donation to Three Square. Drinks which helps others? I am in. The happy hour ends at 6pm. I think it starts at 4pm. For $4.50, we got a very generous pour.
As we were getting comfortable in our booth, the Sweet Potato Tater Tots ($3) and Calamari ($13) came out. The tots were crispy and dangerous. It would be easy to sit back and devour a whole tube of these nuggets without realizing it. The calamari was skimpy. There was more batter than squid, but the jalapenos on top was a nice touch. The pickled peppers cut the greasy really well.
Not too long after our apps, the main entrees came out, a Margherita Pizza($12) and Cobb Salad ($13). The pie was larger than a personal pizza and got the approval from my friend. The salad was good as well. They had a nice balance of all the ingredients.
What sold it for us was our server Jess. She was wonderful. Going to the back and checking with the kitchen on ingredients and our requests. Instead of just refusing or saying no, she took the time to make sure everything was ok. This is especially nice since my friend is allergic to soy.
