I'd been looking forward to visiting E2, since I love the woodfired pizza and breezy continental vibe at Enrico's cafe in the Strip.
They're working the same vibe at E2, with water served in repurposed wine bottles, wildflowers on the table, and menu chalked on the wall. All very cute and comfortable.
Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. We went for brunch service. I ordered the "frisee, bacon & egg" salad, hoping it'd be something like that old favorite, lardon & frisee salad. The bacon and egg were just fine, but instead a heap of frisee, I got a wan pile of undressed generic Restaurant Depot spring mix.
Sure there was some frisee tossed in there, but this was just sad. I am so sick and tired of spring mix. That's why I jumped at the frisee! What's worse than undistinguished baby salad greens? Undressed baby salad greens. At $11 I was hoping for something a little bit better thought-out.
My dining companion had the italian hoagie with fried egg, and it was just that. A competent italian hoagie, not much different than what you'd find at your corner hoagie joint, other than the price. woo-freaking-hoo.
Enrico people: if you're reading this, know that I love you, but that I expect more from you.
