I heard Mazies got rave reviews so I gave it a whirl as I believe in supporting the stand alone eateries in Central Phoenix. I wish there was a star rating for "I can't decide."
We started with the hummus - lovely. Next time, I'll try their other flavor hummus - a Chipotle hummus.
Then I ordered the California Salad (and I added chicken). The salad had dried cranberries, almonds, manderin oranges, and Feta. The dressing was a sherry balsamic vinigarette.
In addition, I ordered a side of fries - which were OMG - delicious. They were "peppered" perfectly. Peppered fries are great to dip in mayo (instead of ketchup).
My friend ordered the grilled cheese sandwich, composed of brie, applewood bacon and granny smith apple slice. She loved it.
The downside to the experience was that the space was crowded and tight. The service was attentive and helpful, but forgetful. And overall, I felt a little rushed.
I think I'll give the place another try - if only for those French Fries!
