| - Not as good as last time, but still worthwhile!
We hadn't been here in a while (since winter) and were so looking forward to the caprese salad, featuring mozzarella burrata. Not your usual caprese--in a bowl you get EVOO, some balsamic, good pesto and a heaping amount of burratta, along with cherry tomatoes and some rustic bread. It was still very exceptional, but not as good as we remembered. I think last time they roasted the cherry tomatoes so you could spread them on the bread (yummy!), but this time they were just left raw--so if you tried to spread them (or cut into them), they spurted everywhere (almost ruined my shirt). They don't give enough bread with this dish, so ask for extra. This item is not on the happy hour menu, but is definitely worth full price! We also had the chicken wings (spicy), which were pretty good. My only complaint on happy hour was that their signs had wine at $5, but it isn't ALL wine and I wasn't informed of that. So be sure to ask which wines are at the HH price. Draft beer was cold and good. A big local crowd, seems like the staff here has great relationships with the patrons. Get there early to get a seat at the bar. Yummy!
