| - Sometimes when life is gloomy, the weather cold, or you're just tired of leftover holiday food, TMI is the cure. The first time I tried Mindy's Mac and Cheese I knew I had to try everything on this menu. Unfortunately I'm gluten and dairy sensitive, but this is one of those dishes that I willingly indulge in knowing full well what the consequences will be.
The sandwiches and salads are great, with a lot of locally grown ingredients. The RB & C being one of my favorites. Presentation is great, simple, nothing pretentious, and really meshes well with their ambiance.
Why four stars? This place gets crowded! It's hit or miss really, but when it's packed, it's packed. In the summer the place is just too hot. The building is a renovated house in a trendy, hip area, with tunes piped through to the outside patio to match the vibe. Honestly if you don't mind a crowded space you'll love it. For me, I would probably frequent more often if it weren't for the parking chaos. Lucky residents in the neighborhood walk here to grab a cold one, or enjoy a nice crisp wine.
The beverage selection is by far one of the more unique in this city, with Red Robins and Chili's on every corner. There are a lot of local brews and quite nicely selected wines that pair well with everything.
Overall, this place is one of my favorites with great meals, great beverages, good vibes and good company. One final plus is that the owners are always around, and often walking through meticulously arranging settings, cleaning the bathroom, etc. For neat-freaks like me, that says a lot!
One thing that would be great would be some more dairy and gluten-free options in the future for folks like me, who would love to pig out more without feeling so bad the next day!
