| - I live in the Coronado Neighborhood- so I eat, shop, work and play as locally as possible. I rarely venture out of the downtown area anymore, especially when a glass of wine or a cold beer is concerned - opting instead to meet a group of friends at one of our many restaurants in and around the "Gourmet Ghetto." I consider myself picky, but I'm not a food prude. I like consistency, fresh flavorful foods and nice people in a relaxed setting.
So, for me - The Living Room has become my new hangout. Nice groupings of comfy sofas to gather around, great music and I swear they have the BEST fries I've ever had! Served a deep golden brown with a simple sprinkling of sea salt, these bad boys are crisp on the outside and tender on the inside and the order size is generous (note: an order of fries as an appetizer generally comes with garlic, etc.. on top - but, if you ask, they'll happily hook you up with the originals). Fries, as a side to one of their fantastic burgers generally come plain (without the garlic).
The Living Room has that great neighborhood "everybody knows you" kind of vibe. I'm in here once or twice a week and it's never long before a neighbor or two strolls in. It's a great place to grab a meal. The staff at LR are fantastic and the woman that waited on me and a friend of mine last night (so sorry I forgot your name) was a trip! TOTALLY friendly and happy (and new). When I asked her how long she'd been working at LR, she confessed that she was always in there anyway, so one night she asked if she could try helping... See? AWESOME PEOPLE HERE!
I complain about the wine selection and, to date, no one's brought my favorite Plungerhead back on to the menu- but all-in-all, you can't beat the burgers, sliders and fries so I'll choke down whatever the wine dude says he likes and open a better bottle when I get home. As long as you're in before 6pm, the wine's 1/2 price anyway...
