| - Bumped into John Shadegg here Friday night, but this is still a reputable restaurant. The southwest cuisine has some zip and is broadly well executed. Table service is efficient, but can be cool.
Dinner entrees and specials lean pricey, so I usually go for a green chile burger with a side of Azteca soup. Conventional, but both elements are sizable, delicious and a relative steal at $11. The burger is a half pound of chuck, well dressed with a spongy roll. The soup is a spicy chicken tortilla variation with some subtle hints. It's a satisfying plate for about the cost of my wife's 4 oz glass of vino.
If they had interesting beer on draught, like a really nice IPA, and more charming servers, this might be five star territory.
p.s. - sunday brunch is not a buffet, but the menu's inventive, elegant and delicious. Recommended.
