CPK is one of the first of many restaurants to open at Tempe Marketplace. While the restaurant is one of my favorites, the new location didn't quite blow me away during a lunch time visit with some coworkers this afternoon. Our server looked like he was 10 and took forever to bring our drinks. My peach lemonade (CPK is known for their mouthwatering flavored lemonades) had just a dash of peach syrup so you could barely taste the peach. And there was something off about the mac 'n' cheese, which I usually love. The cheese seemed to be extra runny today. While this dish, which isn't on the menu, is one of my favorites, it didn't delight at the new CPK. The highlight? The tasty key lime pie. Yum!!!
I imagine the restaurant will get better in time. It's the first week it's opened so I'm taking this into account and will return again in a few weeks to see if it's up to par.
