| - 3.5, solid 3.5.
Want to know why I went with 4 and not 3? THE PORTIONS!! Holy mother of Italy who needs that much pasta!?! By no means is that a complaint either! I love when I can enjoy leftovers of a great meal! Especially carbs.
A place easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Also, a place that can pay its rent in one First Friday if they play their cards right. I am all about adding family friendly establishments to downtown. This one fits that description perfectly. A small, "hole in the wall" with the walls plastered in album covers and the dishes named after songs. IE: Great Ballls of Fire, Born on the Bayou, Smells Like Teen Spirit, and Return of the Mac. Such a corky concept that fits in the unique, younger, artistic culture downtown has grown accustom to these last couple of years.
To me the food was average other than the Smoke on the Water salad. This is a salad you would think has meat because of the smoky flavor but it indeed is vegetarian. Its a huge portion of baby greens, tortilla strips, tomatoes, corn, avocado, and a smoked chipotle vinegar dressing. I did NOT need to order a pasta as well, but the blue cheese in the Buffalo Solider did not disappoint! I could tell the food was fresh, but I am not sure there is anything that blew my mind where I will be left in craving mode. Don't get me wrong, I will totally eat here. Again, and again. Hopefully next time I will be "wowed"
I leave with expectations of writing a 5 star review in the future.
