  • I don't usually give harsh reviews, but this one is really well deserved. The start was promising, with a basket of bread brought promptly. But the bread was a couple of sliced pieces of French and a couple of rye. Seriously, sliced rye bread. Note this place is next door to a terrific bakery, Breadsmith, but for some bizarre reason they don't take advantage of that. I had the meatball sandwich. The bread was obviously a part-baked baguette, which they hadn't bothered to toast properly, the meatballs were bland, and not even simmered in the sauce (meatball prep 101 folks). Sauce was OK but shouldn't it be a marinara? It was all chunky. Accompanying the sandwich was a side of sweet potato fries. Strange, but they weren't horrible. My mom had the spaghetti with meatballs. The pasta had quite a bit of sauce and some meatballs plopped on top. For an extra dollar you can add mushrooms (she found two). The portion was also very skimpy, which in this case was probably a good thing. This dish came with two sides, asparagus and spinach. The asparagus appeared to have been boiled, and had obviously been frozen, not fresh. And the spinach, whoa, the spinach! Got a guess as to how this was prepared? I kid you not, it was deep fried. Who does that? The owner came by and actually bragged about it. My sister ordered Caesar salad, and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. The salad was made of all the worst parts of the Romaine head, and was drowning in dressing. The mushrooms were stuffed with seafood and had a cream sauce and balsamic glaze. They were inedible, tasting like cardboard (albeit with a cream sauce and balsamic glaze). We expressed our displeasure to the waiter, who was very nice and I must say did a great job. I felt really bad for him. He actually promised that the desserts were really good, and he didn't lie. I can imagine that they had the desserts brought in frozen, but the cheesecake had a lovely fluffy texture and the lava cake was a cute little bundt cake served with vanilla ice cream. So if you find yourself at the NE corner of McDowell and Power, possibly stranded, and you can only eat dessert (possibly for religious reasons?), I would recommend this place. If not, continue on your way and don't look back.
