| - I have visited a few Mellow Mushrooms in South Carolina and always had a delicious meal or unique beer that I enjoyed, so I was really excited to learn one was opening up in Rocky River. They kept up really well with the funky, psychedelic theme. The restaurant contains crazy colored walls and outrageous decorations.
I went on Thursday evening for happy hour and sat at a table in the bar area. Happy hour is a great deal that includes a selection of half priced appetizers, $4.00 glasses of wine and discounted beer. Happy hour is until 7 pm. Some of the appetizers include spinach and artichoke dip, bruchetta, and hummus. I opted for a glass of the house pino grigio and it was pretty delicious. We also split a half off app called drunk pretzel buddies. This item is not listed on the menu but our waitress recommended them after sharing the discounted list with us. They were delicious!! Salted pretzel bites with a creamy beer cheese dip. Something so simple yet so good. For dinner we split the greek salad and a kosmic karma pizza.
The salad was loaded with feta cheese, kalamata olives, banana peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, and shredded carrots. I find it more rare these days to get a good helping of veggies on salads, but this one was definitely filling. They don't have a greek dressing but their esparanza dressing is similar to a well seasoned creamy italtian and went really great with the salad.
Our pizza was also very good. I prefer my crust a bit more crispy and there were a few parts of the pizza I felt should have been cooked longer but over all it was good.
We went on a Thursday and found out the trivia was happen from 7pm-9pm. If you are looking for a more quiet intaminte feel I would avoid this place because once the trivia starts over the speakers it can get pretty loud.
Over all I would return to try another pizza or sandwich. I felt as if their pizzas are a little on the pricey side. A small 8 inch pizza for approximately $14.00 seems a little much for me and it is not the best pizza out there. I recommend going with friends and getting a medium to split!
