I LOVE LOVE LOVED my experience here at Axis!
D and I went for dinner & drinks here with my Daddio a couple nights ago and had a wonderful time!
We left around 9:15 p.m. and the band had just begun to set up. Seemed like it was going to be a bumpin' night! And it was a Tuesday... NICE!
We had the bruschetta appetizer (sans pesto, of course - they were more than happy to accommodate my SEVERE nut allergy and omit the requisite "drizzle" of pesto) as well as the crab cakes and the Caesar salad. ALL were DELIGHTFUL.
D ordered the sirloin burger and added cheddar & bacon. It came with fries & onion rings. The onion rings were INSANE GOOD. So it's been a while since I had an onion ring, but DAMN those were FANTASTIC!!! The fries were great as well, and D said the burger was "OH.... it was AMAZING". Yeah. Daddio ordered the "big boy" steak (10 oz.) and substituted extra vegetables for the potatoes. NO PROB to make the change! Also, he asked for his steak to be done "Chicago-style", which is not something all chefs can do to perfection. It is charred on the outside, to order on the inside... and my Dad wanted it medium-medium-rare inside. THAT IS HARD. They did it to perfection! I chose the veggie quesadillas, but I was torn between a few veg-friendly options! (YAY!) All was fantastic. My quesas were FAB. Everyone loved their food. The apps were particularly wonderful. MMMMMM!!!
I would love to try this place in the summer for its extensive patio area!
The bartender was also GREAT! One drawback for the boys was that they only have one kind of tequila, and unfortunately it's Jose Cuervo. That aside, the bartender served wonderful drinks, and we drank many.
VERY cool find in our 'hood that we'll be returning to often!
