| - A friend (my buddy Morgan M. who also wrote a review) and I stopped here for dinner while at the mall. Considering it's a mall restaurant, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised, other than a couple hiccups in service.
We started with the Asiago Artichoke Dip, which was served with tasty warm pita slices. I thought it was good and tasted fresh. Perfect portion for two to share. Not amazing, but good.
I got a steak and mushroom fajita. It came out sizzling on one those cast iron sizzle-y doodads and smelled great. The portion was VERY generous (although they only provided 3 tortillas, my portion was enough for probably 5-6 fajitas). The steak was seasoned very well and the veggies worked nicely with the dish so I was very happy with the meal.
Now the service was odd. The girl we had was very friendly, checked on us often, and got us everything we needed. The problem was that we had to ask for everything. There was no silverware or napkins on our table when we sat down, and we had to point that out to her before we got any. In my opinion if my cup is empty the server should refill it, I shouldn't have to ask. It went on like this. The manager (I think) was playing host and he was asking the tables around us if everything was okay or if they needed anything, and he was quite friendly, and he saved the day after we sat with our money in the check for nearly half an hour without our server returning so we could leave.
My friend was definitely more offended by the service than I was...in my opinion, at least she was nice, although waiting for a check and waiting for my money to be picked up are very large pet peeves of mine, the quality of the food made up for the strange service we received and I would say I'll definitely return if I'm at the mall again.
