The situation: a casual dinner before a show at EnWave. I am a picky eater, and I want beer, not wine. I also don't want to go anywhere elbow-to-elbow busy and at 6pm on a Friday this place let me have my pick of seating and I definitely didn't need that reservation.
The good:
- Good selection of salami for the create-your-own antipasti board.
- Roasted winter squash was a winner even with the 'I hate vegetables' me.
- Really liked the laid back ambiance. It's a nice place, but it's not too nice.
- Huge Italian wine list.
- Really reasonably priced.
- Good staff.
The bad:
- Only 3 beers on draught.
- I don't really like thin crust pizza. This thin crust pizza was good for thin crust pizza, but again, I don't like thin crust pizza.
The verdict:
I would definitely come here again. It's close to downtown. It's not busy on weekend nights. I bet it's rammed for lunch M-F and I wouldn't go near it during those times.
