| - We have been trying to go here for a few weeks, but every Sunday when we go, the wait is an hour, and we never have time to wait. Today, we were told the wait was 45 minutes, and decided to be patient. While we were waiting for our table, we stood in line for the coffee/pastry bar where we ordered a latte and mocha. It took us about 20 minutes to get through the line and get our drinks, which was a little on the long side in my opinion.
Service: All of the staff we interacted with were very friendly. Our server was attentive and helpful. I asked for hot sauce, and she brought a few, pointed out her "favorite," and it was the best hot sauce I have ever had. I will need to go but some from the store soon.
Environment: So a "social eatery" apparently means "we don't have much space, and don't use our outside patio space well, so we are going to cram as many tables in a room as we legally can, and have multiple parties sit at the single long table." That part didn't bother me in any significant way, but we kept laughing throughout our meal because we felt like we could hear every word of every table's conversation in the place because we were so close to each other. There were also A LOT of screaming children in there when we were there, and in such a small place it was rather disruptive. But we have come to accept that parents who live near the Green Valley area are the worse type of parents out there, and let their overly privileged children run around screaming and putting their mouths on every table/surface in sight (yeah that happened, with two different kids while we were there). My final note on environment that I mentioned in my picture, the patio is not a well designed use of space. I could easily fit 15-20 more seats in the sectioned off area, hire 1-2 more servers and reduce the ridiculous wait times here and get more customers served. I just do not understand why that area was set up that way at all (it almost looks like they ran out of money for furniture and just gave up as 50%+ of the patio is just empty space).
Food/Drinks: The drinks from the coffee bar were decent, not the best I've ever had, and both were disappointingly room temperature. The mimosa flavor options were pretty impressive. We loved the prickly pear! Both of our entrees were really good. Relatively simple dishes packed with a ton of flavor. The food made the overall wait and environment downfalls worth the trip. Of important note, the prices were also reasonable given what we were served. It would be easy for them to charge another 2-3 dollars per dish and get away with it, but they don't, and that is appreciated.
We'll probably be back, but probably later when the wait isn't so ridiculous and the children are all at home napping....
