I came here with a friend for lunch to catch up since I haven't seen her in a long time. We wanted a seat outside but it was too sunny no shading so the hostess gave us a nice seat inside next to the big open windows. We felt like we were outside and had a nice breeze.
We were given menus and clearly hadn't looked at them yet when the waitress came over to get our drink orders. She seemed a little rushed so we quickly put in our drink orders. I ordered the grapefruit la croix with vodka with an orange slice. It was ok. La croix is so light in flavor I didn't taste the grapefruit really. I would have preferred a grapefruit vodka with it too. The drink was very light and would be nice on a hot day, but I probably wouldn't order this again. We still hadn't looked at the menu when she quickly came back with our drinks and tried to take our lunch orders. I felt so rushed and pressured. I don't know what the hurry was the entire restaurant was pretty much open and there was no wait. I didn't even get to look at the menu I felt so pressured I just ordered the first thing I saw on there, which was the bruschetta board.
The board gave you an option of 3 flavor choices. I chose the avocado one, the burrata one, and the goat cheese date one. My main compliant about all three of them was with the bread. The bread slices were thick, which was nice, but they were also really hard. If it's going to be thick, less hard would be nice or just make the bread less thick. I wasn't particular fond of what was going on with my bread slices. Of the 3, my favorite was the burrata followed by the goat cheese. I didn't particularly like the avocado one (this one was actually recommended to me by the waitress). The avocado one came with pickled onions on top and apparently jalapeno. I didn't taste or feel any spiciness from jalapeno. I just felt like the pickled onions just ruined the avocado flavor. The avocado was looked super fresh and was beautifully cut. The goat cheese date one came with arugala on top with candied pecans and a honey drizzle and it was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet. The tangy goat cheese went well with the sweetness of the dates and honey. And it was nice to have a little crunchiness with the pecans. The burrata had a spicy tomato jam on it with arugala as well. I didn't find the tomato jam spicy at all. I actually found it on the very lightly sweet side. The nuttiness from the arugala paired well with the burrata and the tomato jam. It was really good. However, as good as these are. They don't nearly compare to another restaurant that also has bruschetta boards with similar bruschetta options.
And in the theme of being rushed when I wasn't done with my plate the waitress tried to take my plate away. What is the rush?!
I may need to come back here and try this place for dinner. I may just have had an off lunch experience.
