| - I have driven by Stax for years, but it looked hard to access and the name didn't intrigue me enough to stop. On Monday, I set out to broaden my food options and decided to explore Happy Hour at Stax.
I arrived at 3:30 and decided to sit at the bar, although the seating in general was pretty inviting. The weather was lovely, so everything was opened up to the outdoors. The location is a little unfortunate in terms of the views, so the bar was perfect for me.
Happy Hour was a little confusing, with no happy hour menu in print or on display. You just have to try to remember what the staff tells you. That isn't my strength, so I had to ask several times before ordering.
None of the food that I had a taste for was available for happy hour prices but I was happy to pay regular prices to satisfy my tastes. The happy hour house made sangria, however, was a great deal. I couldn't decide on red or white, so the staff suggested 1/2 and 1/2, which is apparently a popular choice. It was a GREAT suggestion, and I really enjoyed the complexity of the flavors in the combination. I will be having it again!
My food arrived fairly quickly, and was delicious. I had the Wagyu (aka Kobe) and the Ahi sliders. What I loved about their concept was that I could try more than one type of slider thanks to the smaller portions. I could still only eat two, and they weren't cheap by any means, but I really enjoyed the variety.
I considered having a salad, but passed since I had eaten a large lunch and didn't have room, but I would like to try the Caprese salad and the Southwest Chopped salad. I'd also like to return to try several of the $3 sliders on the Happy Hour menu.
