| - Holy Panini! This place makes a good sandwich!
This dimly lit restaurant and bar has cool tables with drawings beneath resin, and cool art on the walls (currently various animals and such in a somewhat pixelated style). It's a cool comfortable environment that we like a lot.
The food was great. I got a Cuban panini with the orzo salad. It was great. It was also too large to eat in one sitting. I had to take half of it back to our hotel to finish it the next day. Her sandwich was really good too. It was also too big for her, and we had to bring it back to the hotel to happily devour the next day. Damn you Carly's for stopping us from checking out one of the other great little restaurants in Phoenix for lunch the next day due to your very good too-large-for-one sandwiches.
The service was slightly lacking. This was due to the fact that our cool Aussie server was, we think, the only one working that night. I can't fault him on the slower than hoped for service due to that fact, but it would have been great if they had another person on staff to help alleviate that problem.
Our only real complaint was the music that was being performed. We walked in happy and upbeat, but wanted to shoot ourselves in the face half way through our visit due to the sad and depressing music being performed. The lady singing had a great voice, and the guitar-playing man played his instrument well, but the music was really really really depressing. It was all of our family and friends had just died depressing. It was both of us had just lost our jobs and home depressing. It was really really really really depressing. Walking by other nights, we had noticed music that wasn't depressing at all being played by different performers though, so maybe we just hit the place on a bad night.
Overall, it was cool decor, great food, decent service all things considered, and sad sad sad music on the night we were there. Check this place out.
