| - I have eaten here a few times over the years and it manages to be edible and mediocre.
We were eating there with a large party before a Coyotes game. We were out on the patio. Our server was extremely nice and very hard-working, and obviously quite overwhelmed by the number of tables she was tasked with. (Meanwhile, the other patio server kept chatting and stalling.) This meant it took a very long time to order, get food, and twenty minutes just to get our check.
My husband loved the beers--though he kept having to go straight to the bar to get drinks for him and friends. The happy hour prices are great. He ordered the Marzen BBQ burger and wasn't too happy with it, as it came out well done, not as he requested.
My son is autistic and a very picky eater. I thought he wouldn't be able to eat anything there, but a friend pointed out they do serve kettle chips even though they aren't on the menu. My son loved those chips! Very fresh and crunchy.
I had the Gorgonzola Pear salad. It was very mediocre, especially in light of the $13 price. The toppings and chicken were good, but it was served on iceberg lettuce with a lot of leaf-ribs. Come on. That's the blandest, cheapest lettuce possible. It's like adding decent toppings to water. I could buy a much, much better salad than this at 1/3 of the price at places like Panera or Wildflower. I am glad they provided me the dressing on the side, as I requested.
I ordered the strawberry soda cocktail to drink as well and I liked it. It had an initial noticeable chemical aftertaste from a sugar-free ingredient, but it was fine after that. The pieces of strawberry and the mint leaves were fresh and delicious.
In all, the dinner here reminds me of why I avoid the place with my family, and only visit if it's at a friend's request.
