| - I decided to come here after seeing the review in Scene Magazine. Realizing it was a West Park staple before I figured I would give it a try.
The same friend and I who I talk about in most of my reviews are wine lovers and Wednesday it is half off wine, so we said why not? We got there and it is clean and new looking, I loved the feel. Neither of us were dress to impress and after looking at pictures online we were worried we were going to look a little sloppy but it was definitely a casual feel once you arrive.
We opted to sit at the bar, but there were tables and booths as an option. We each ordered water and wine, then asked the server for a suggestion on an appetizer. He recommended the Spinach dip, my friend is lactose and tolerant so instead we opted to try the calamari disregarding what Scene had written.
It was actually good, obviously not what you would order in a seafood place but I was pleasantly surprised and the lemon aoli they give you to accompany it has a remarkable fresh flavor which really adds to it.
For entrees I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (a staple in my diet) and my friend ordered the portabello flat bread. I was impressed with the timing of everything. She knew were were there to chat and catch up so the appetizer came out, then she gave us some time before the meals came out which gave me confidence as well that what I was eating didn't pop out of a freezer.
My sandwich was delicious, juicy chicken with a fresh breading and wasn't greasy and a delicious buffalo sauce. I asked for a side of ranch and it was a homemade peppercorn ranch which was delicious. My friends flat bread was bigger than expected and wasn't one a thin extra crispy bread it had a little more dough to it which we both enjoyed.
I really enjoyed my meal and my wine. There were definitely a few other things I wanted to try on the menu, so I will be back to give them all a try. I would suggest stopping by soon, it was pretty dead in there and they deserve much more business with the re-opening.
Also, they have happy hour 7 DAYS A WEEK! So I will be back on a weekend to check that out!
