| - Call me unsophisticated, but I like to be full when I go out to eat. And I was definitely full when I left Borsalino Summerlicious 2015.
At $18 for lunch, it's not that far off from what you would probably pay if you ordered the items individually, but I was pleased with the value. The restaurant's interior is a little dated and looks like maybe an old Kelsey's with carpeted floors, so if you're looking for luxe, move right along.
APPETIZER: Greek Salad
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The appetizer choices were not very exciting. Aside from the very ordinary ceasar salad option, their soup of the day was beef noodle, which others said was a bit salty. However, the greek salad I ordered was nothing out of the ordinary in terms of preparation or ingredients, but it was delicious; the dressing to salad ratio was perfect.
MAIN: Borsalino Steak Sandwich on Ciabatta Bread
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
6 oz open face steak sandwich topped with sautéed onions, peppers, Swiss & Cheddar cheese, served with french fries. The sandwich was delicious. They ask you how you want your steak, but because the meat is thinner than a regular steak, I'd err on the side of caution and order it rarer than you'd want it. We ordered three medium-rares and one medium, but when they brought the orders to our table, they didn't distinguish and they all looked about the same. The thick-cut fries were nothing special, but they were crispy.
Others in my party ordered the spaghetti and meatballs (probably a little too ordinary to bother trying; I'd skip it), smoked salmon sandwich (a lot of smoked salmon; they enjoyed it), and the mixed greens teriyaki grilled chicken (weird option at an Italian restaurant, but enjoyable).
DESSERT: Baklava
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Greek favourite made of layers of filo pastry filled with nuts held together with syrup. I don't know if this is what baklavas are supposed to be like but it was super dense and quite sweet. I like sweet things, so I had no problem, but even I would say it was very sweet.
The tiramisu looked not quite like the tiramisu I'm used to seeing, but the one bite I had was light and fluffy. Not bad.
In general, I was pleased with food. The server was fine and quick to respond to requests.
If you're looking for a decent Summerlicious lunch spot, I would recommend this. Everyone in my party enjoyed what they ordered and left with full bellies.
