| - It's a 4.5 - I just feel guilty giving such a high rating when the first visit was not as great customer service-wise as it could have been. So I've been twice thanks to Groupon. Each time we have left stunned how much we enjoyed the food. Maybe because we are in Gilbert and you tend to lower your expectations when you dine in Gilbert? I'm not sure. Maybe it's just good.
So my first visit I ordered the Cuban sandwich - AMAZING - pickle, pork yumminess. I loved it. My husband got the Rueben, typical except on a PRETZEL roll, pretzel people, it was incredible. My youngest got the chicken tenders and older got a flatbread pizza. My older was specific on what he wanted and not wanted on the flatbread it came out wrong so we had to send it back. Then my youngest got the chicken tender appetizer and not the kids meal which comes with fries. So they sent out a huge plate of fries which was really nice. The fixed the older kid's pizza and all was good. We sat outside which was wonderful until people started smoking. Sigh, when will they learn that smoking is gross?
So the second visit we sat inside. The decor is amazing, they must have spent a fortune just designing the place, wood, iron, stained glass. The wood benches became really uncomfortable after awhile but I forgot after the food came out. We ordered Stella Artois to start and they served them in Stella chalices nice touch! This visit I ordered the Reuben - it was great. The only issue was they used a lot of purple cabbage in the sauerkraut which was a bit bitter. I worked through it and enjoyed it completely. I also ordered the side salad instead of fries with ranch on the side. The ranch, holy moly the ranch. Thick, rich, garlicky heaven. The salad was so big, nice baby romaine and spinach, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, and carrots. Enough about me.
My husband got the Black n Bleu burger, he completely enjoyed it - ordered it medium rare and it came out almost perfect. The onion rings looked gorgeous, huge and lightly fried. The little one got the chicken again, the right one this time. Lightly fried chicken and good looking fries. The older one got the Three Little Pigs flatbread pizza. I guess he enjoyed it - it was gone in about 5 minutes. It's not small and neither is he.
The service tonight was perfect. She was super attentive, gave us updates on the food, brought us water when needed, gave us background on the restaurant. The manager came by and asked how things were going. Exactly as it should be.
All in all, I think this may be my new favorite place to eat in Gilbert.
