| - I went for the first time on Friday night with my boyfriend and our friend. 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine, mozarella, a salad and a pizza for $74. The price point was too high for our taste.
The place has a cool vibe. We sat outside, under the heat lamps, and had a laugh over the bright orange plastic chairs, which reminded all of us of the chairs in elementary school. The dark wood, which so many people find "modern" is straight out of the late 60s, early 70s, especially with the "burnt orange" chairs. My aunt's fridge was the same exact color.
The service was awesome, as one would expect it to be in a new restaurant. Everyone was VERY knowledgeable and helpful, which we greatly appreciated.
We split the panzanella salad, which was fine, but certainly not spectacular. We did all appreciate the freshness of the ingredients.
We then split a classica mozarella bar with the artichoke hearts. The mozarella was good, the artichoke hearts were completely underwhelming. The quantity of them was sad, sad, sad, and they were very lightly seasoned (to put it mildly, we found it bland.)
Last, our pizza. We had the Prosciutto e Rucola on the Neopolitan crust, as was recommended by our server. The crust was the perfect blend of crunchy and chewy, the prosciutto was plentiful, and the flavor was, well, pretty bland. There was so little smoked mozarella that I don't think I even had a bite of it on my slice.
We contemplated desserts, but with only 3 choices, and none of them all that appealing to us, we decided against it.
We were kinda bummed by the lack-luster performance, as we frequently walk to Rachel's for breakfast and lunch, and Hokkaido for dinner, and we were excited to have a cool place to hang out and eat some tasty food. But the reality is, for the price and the mediocre food, I don't see us going there again any time soon.
I much prefer going to Nora's on Flamingo and Jones for salad, pizza and wine. Their food is superior, and I don't leave there hungry.
