| - [scrunched up, pouty disappointment face & sigh] 1st & foremost, if the 1st 3pgs of your menu are drinks & the 1st drink is sangria boasting to be the best in town, it doesn't actually have to be the best in town but it does need to be somewhat delicious. When we saw the waiter bringing the $26 "carafe" for the 3 of us, we knew it was going to be trainwreck sangria. We each got a tumbler with something that tasted like watered down Sprite with a couple itty bitty pieces of fruit then the waiter poured red wine into them. From the alleged carafe that was maybe 12oz. Dear B&B, have you been to Firefly?, Tommy Bahama?, Gordon Biersch? THAT'S sangria. The restaurant itself has a nice design. The music- with the exception of Mary J. Blige's Real Love- was a downer. A total mismatch to the vibe of the restaurant. As far as the menu, this was one of the few times in my life that I had a hard time deciding... not because there were so many awesome prospects that I couldn't settle on but because I would've rather had an In-N-Out or Five Guys, after reading my options. Over & over. Hoping there was something I'd overlooked. One of my g.f.'s got the sweet bacon bleu burger, our other g.f. & I got Stan's Italian job (?) sliders & we shared fellini fries & Baltimore fries. Our entrees were good but nothing that would solely get us back in the door. On their own, the fellini fries would've been good (minus the warm parmesan/mayo'y tasting dipping sauce) but the Baltimore fries stole their thunder. When we got to B&B, were pretty shocked by how few fellow diners were there with us on a Saturday evening... by the time we left, we understood why.
