3.5 stars
Those of you from the Silicon Valley.. this place is like downtown Campbell on a Saturday night mixed in with some Los Gatos-esqueness
thrown in with some 90s jams (think Oasis, Beck) as ambiance music
1. when I think gastropub I think tavern...what I got was something out of Santana Row in San Jose, CA.
2. Service was average
3. Seating was fun (cushy chairs and sofas)
4. The guy in the Ed Hardy shirt playing covers was really good
5. The food:
I got the onion soup which was super light...the onions were caramelized well and their natural sweetness came through (I usually like a more beer stout onion soup dealio but after a day's worth of flying this was perfect.
I also got the artichoke salad which has more endive and asparagus than artichoke. It is a light salad.. the Parmesan cheese does not over power and the salad is properly seasoned.
The BF got the butternut squash pasta which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Other members got the fried chicken which looked yummy and the ribs which also looked good.
Overall:
Not a bad experience.... there are tons of heat lamps on the patio, lots of flat screens to watch games etc (in our case the opening ceremony of the Olympics). Their drink menu has some interesting items like bacon bloody marys and infused fru fru like drinks.
Decent way to start off our first night in Az.
