| - I really want to love this place but they'll have to step it up for that to happen. For you speed readers, here's the nutshell: GOOD FOOD, pleasant but *very* slow service, smallish but tasty menu, good beer list, okay wine list, awesome dog-friendly patio with a fountain, great music and vibe. Great features on certain nights of the week (see photos). So tonight, my first time here, I came at 6:30 in the evening, in time for a gorgeous AZ sunset on their awesome little [less than half full] patio, but sadly too late for happy hour. Next time... First and foremost, service was so so so slow. I've been in the industry for twenty years, as a server and manager at places from Chili's to Chelsea's to Mary Elaine's so I totally know and consider all the little cogs moving inside a restaurant "machine" during service. I even took into consideration that I was alone, thus more sensitive to the passing of time. My server was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, but he simply needed more support. From what I could tell, he had the twelve table patio all by himself with only one other gentleman bussing and refilling waters. That is simply too much to balance in order to give proper service (but remember I mentioned it was less than half full when I arrived...? No good reason for such slow service). That being said, the food was very fresh and tasty, and worth the prices. I got the daily lavosh pizza and it was TO DIE FOR. Crispy prosciutto, almond slices, diced apples, mozzarella, and arugula. Wow. They have a nice beer list, a few fun craft cocktails, and an okay wine list, which needs to be updated. I ordered a bottle (1/2 off bottles on Monday -- yes please!), but twenty five minutes later when it finally arrived (yes, 25 min, I actually clocked it.. my hummus app arrived first, which was 23 min after ordering) it was a completely different bottle than listed on the menu. I actually only noticed bc the vintage was different. Nbd as by that point I just wanted a flipping glass of wine already and it was actually quite good.
Inside is super cute and I can tell they have good decorating sense though it needs some sprucing up (new paint, at least in the restroom). *Love* all the plants hanging around. Overall it's a quaint little local spot, but I'll just keep it in the back of my mind that I should come here expecting service to be slow. That way maybe I'll be impressed if it's better next time.
