| - Took a friend here last night to celebrate her engagement. It was her favorite restaurant back in 1999 when it was a little dive joint. Now its at a new location (still on Mill) with a complete makeover. It's like the little trailer park girl that nabbed herself a sugar daddy and you just ran into her..She has new boobs and those boobs have changed the person she used to be, the person everyone loved.
Like I said, used to be casual and somewhat divey..now it's all wine and tablecloths. Service was good, no rave reviews, no complaints. Food I had the "Spezzatini of Pork" Cauliflower Ravioli, Peas, Organic Carrots, Roasted Heirloom Potato, Fresh Grated Horseradish. Sounds amazing right? It was decent but it's a fancy name for stew atop large thin ravioli. Im not disappointed in my dish but far from "wowed". For dessert Tres Leches bread pudding.. can't go wrong right? For all bread pudding lovers.. its usually super moist and doughy.. and if youve ever had Tres Leches cake also supermoist. The combo..NOT supermoist? Some parts were, but most was dry like panetone. It was topped with ice cream and that should have been a clue. Bread Pudding should never need ice cream as a sidekick, it should be able to hold it's own. This dessert was beyond disappointing.
I expected so much more from this place. I wont go back for "ok", there are too many restaurants in Phoenix to return for "ok".
