| - Gotta say I'm a little surprised by the hate for Safari!
It's an easily accessible spot for my family, and the huge patio is always a big draw. Over the years I've had patio parties before going away overseas, to school, and I've never been disappointed.
Went last night for dinner on the patio at 7:30. We had called around 6:30 to ask about a reservation, but at least for the patio, they won't take them for parties of less than six. They told us we probably wouldn't have to wait long, and they were right, no wait at all.
Service was prompt, and when I spilled my half-drank beer our server brought me a fresh one on the house. Don't abuse that system, though!
We shared some Irish nachos to start, which were tasty, if a bit uninspiring. Their homemade kettle chips were good, but a bit under-seasoned in my books. For a main my mom and I split the (9oz) Safari burger which had cheese, mushrooms, bacon and sauteed onions. It was huge and delicious-looking, and came speared with a big knife. Unfortunately they cook burgers all the way through, and I just can't call a well-done burger perfect for me. I understand the rules, but gosh I don't like em. The side ceaser we had with it was great.
My boyfriend had the chicken wrap which I've always dug, and my dad had the souvlaki pizzadilla - he loved it.
All in all, the food stops it from getting to the next level, but I dig Safari.
