| - My BFF and I had been wanting to eat here so we decided to stop in for lunch after a dress fitting at Destiny's Bride across the way.
This place is super cute inside (even the bathrooms were impressive), the perfect atmosphere for a ladies lunch.
We were immediately seated and our drink order was taken. However, I was a little disappointed at how long it took the server to visit our table again. I made eye contact with him and managed to say "come on man,we're ready to order" without using any words at all. He acknowledged me and explained that he would be right over (I think he was carrying a tray of drinks for another table at the time). While he offered to share the specials (which I had been very interested in hearing about when we first sat down), my friend and I had both settled on a choice from the regular menu and were ready to get the show on the road.
I ordered the butternut squash enchiladas. The server had mentioned that it was one of the best things on the menu, but if that's the case -- bummer. My thoughts? The squash was undercooked, the tomatillo sauce was delicious but lukewarm at best (as was the filling). The mixed greens on the plate were sprinkled with cotija cheese and dressed with some multicolored bell peppers, fresh and delicious. Maybe I should've ordered a salad instead?
BFF got the grilled chicken and sage pesto sandwich.Of course I had a bite... DELICIOUS! She was expecting the chicken to be warm; it was cold, but still a tasty sandwich. I'm pretty sure it was on ciabatta bread (love it) and was dressed with goat cheese, gala apples, and bacon. YUM! It came with sweet potato chips too and I couldn't keep myself from stealing another and another from her plate. I would definitely order this next time.
The server was always friendly, but I get the feeling that maybe he was taking care of too many tables at once. I've seen other comments on yelp addressing the service so perhaps this is an issue that needs to be addressed (ATTN: Management). I was, however, impressed that the server noticed a birthday gift sitting on our table and offered to bring a birthday treat. It was a chocolate cupcake with white frosting and a chocolate shell on top. DELICIOUS!! Reminded me of a chocolate hostess cupcake (I'm a sucker for those things).
Overall impressions? Cute. Pricey. So-so service.. Hit or miss food. I might try it again...still thinking about it.
