| - While trekking to the neighborhood Apple store, we thought we might give this place a try. Being that it was happy hour, DH and DS and I took a hi-top table in the bar and settled down looking for some good food (we could smell those burgers everywhere in San Tan Village!).
DH ordered the Asian Fusion combination platter which had Southwestern Egg Rolls, Chinese Potsticker, and Tempura Shrimp. At $11, it was a little pricey but it was a decent portion for a dinner and would have been a shareable appetizer for 2 or 3. Presentation was nice and the sauces were tasty.
DS ordered the BBQ burger which was a nice sized burger. Interestingly they didn't ask how he wanted it done which meant in my world, I was having nothing to do with it. I can't stand a well or medium-well burger and that is exactly what they served up. And it came with a pile of garlic fries. The verdict is still out on those. DS, who lives for anything garlic, even remarked that they were just a little to heavy-handed with the garlic seasoning on them.
Oh - and one other thing that just slayed me - yellow mustard! In this day and age of $11 burgers, please chef, freaking offer something other than yellow mustard! It is like setting a table with the best china and linens and then giving someone a plastic fork - there is a time and place for yellow mustard, but not on anything other than fast food.
DS and I both had the Lobster Bisque. At $4.50 a cup, I had high expectations. Wow. Such a disappointment. It arrived with a swirl of sour cream on top so I had high hopes at the start but......there was nothing in it. Not a speck of lobster. Yes, it was rich, Yes, it was creamy. But NOTHING in it. It was lobster-flavored bisque. Oh, wait, yes, there were some lumps in it - not sure if it was some roux that had not been whisked in (doubtful) or more likely the pot scum that you get with cream sauces. So this is off my recommended list - if you are going to have bisque, put something in it besides soup base and white sauce - heck, I can get that from a can of Campbells.....
I ordered the Turkey combo (1/2 turkey sandwich, and a soup or salad) opting for the house salad. Interestingly enough, DH ordered a house salad on the side - his came with spiced pecans and way more cheese so realize this is not a full house salad included in the combo. The turkey 1/2 sandwich came with watercress mayo which was heavily laden with garlic (it tasted oddly like one of the sauces DH got with his platter - I think it was just the overwhelming garlic flavor that made everything taste alike).The sandwich was a decent portion and was not a bad deal with the salad for the price but I ended up eating it without 1/2 of the toast since that mayo was just - well, for lack of a better term - gross. It was too overwhelming of a flavor with the mild turkey. I'd recommend asking for it on the side and deciding yourself.
Service - well, that left a lot to be desired. It was happy hour and the place was dead except for the bar. Asking for dressing on the side of the salad was ignored. Could not get extra napkins or much attention at all.
All in all - it was okay. Nothing I would go out of my way for. Our bill for three, including tip, was $64. That included one beer, one soda, and the above food. I thought a little overpriced. So next Apple visit, we will venture and try somewhere else.
