| - After a game, our team went here for a beer and something to eat. The atmosphere was cozy and conducive to chatting. We were a walk-in with about 10 people on a Monday night and they were able to accommodate us no problem. The server was friendly and efficient and brought us our drinks quickly. Food also came out reasonably quickly and all at once.
Unfortunately, my meal was disappointing. I ordered the pea and mint falafel pita with fries - one of two vegetarian options. The server recommended the meal and said she ate it all the time. It was so incredibly dry I literally couldn't swallow it. The pita had been toasted, which took all the moisture out the bread. There was a bit of hummus on the pita but not nearly enough sauce. I brought this up with the server and she brought me a side of white bean spread, which was yummy but still didn't really help the dryness of the sandwich overall. I also noticed that lettuce had been used in the sandwich, rather than the promised tabouleh. The fries were delicious, hot and salty, so I ate all of those, but only a few bites of my pita.
My recommendations for improving this dish:
1. Don't toast the pita sandwich.
2. Use tabouleh, not lettuce. And more.
3. Add more sauce, but something lighter than hummus/bean spread. Tzatziki, tahini, garlic sauce or hot sauce would work.
Everyone else in my group was satisfied with their meals, but not blown away.
