This new addition to the Arboretum is certainly welcomed! I am offering a solid 4 stars strictly based on the Gelato. It was AWESOME!!! They had so many different flavors and I love the generous samples they provided. I ended up getting two flavors in my dish--Pistachio and Almond...heavenly...vibrant flavoring, creamy, etc. Well Done.
When I first walked in to this place I was underwhelmed. There were all different stations (gelato, pizza, salad/pitas, wine/beer)...it was reminiscent of a Chinese buffet...just a lot going on. But it was easy to figure out and everything made sense after I walked around for a minute.
I ended up trying one of their pita wraps to start. They have a little make-your-own station for sandwiches and salads. It was okay. Everything was pretty fresh. They grill the chicken right in front of you. The chicken before it was grilled looked a little more like a rubber ducky from my nephews bathtub but I tried not to dwell on that. Once the wrap was stuffed with all of the goodies I selected, it was pretty decent.
I also opted for the cucumber salad on the side and that was pretty good as well.
I think this is a great new addition to the Arbo...they are right by Akropolis so they have their competition cut out for them but I think they will hold their own.
The service was friendly and you could visibly tell who the managers/owners were and they made sure everything was being handled properly.
I would advise coming here for lunch as the wraps weren't very filling OR to just get the Gelato because that was crazy good.
