| - I had heard through many grapevines that the people LOVED My Florist, and a quite bit were vegetarians and they would say, "Bonnie, YOU would love it". After a long day walking around with my honey in Phoenix, we wanted a nice, romantic place for some quality time before going away on a trip (and since I was heading to Kenucky, "Land of Deep Fried Cream Cheese Puffs", I wanted a good meal!) that wouldn't be terribly pricey.
It took a while for us to get into the parking lot, but once we did at around 7-ish on a Wednesday night, we found parking pretty easily. We entered into the doors and I was really stunned to find it far brighter and airy than I had assumed from people's descriptions. I had thought dim lighting, heavy curtains, plush chairs-this was definitely more of a lunch place- a NICE lunch place mind you. After browsing through the menu, I saw mostly sandwiches and not much a dairy-free veggie could eat-but I did see a yummy Nicoise salad for about eleven bucks. Tim was super excited about all the healthy meat options, so we settled in. I like the huge bar on the right and I kind of wanted to eat there but we decided one of the tables would be more "couple-ly". There were tons of people there...wait, this is definitely where ladies come to lunch. I look at the menu-a HUGE selection of salads. Figures. Since wine is half-off the bottle (which original prices are way high anyway), we decided on a light Pinot costing around $26 bucks that our very helpful server Erica suggested for his roast beef sandwich and my salad since I hate white wine.
Looking around more, we were the only male/female couple there! It was all ladies dining, or men on hot dates (or some boring ones-some life time partners just tiredly eating their salads). The women were wicked drunk on wine and GIGGLING! Lots of pearl necklace touching and smiling. Oh my. I def. saw a woman whose face at age 55 looked better than mine at 28.
We got some Willo bread, which I liked fine, but some toasting would have been better. My salad came out and it was actually delcious. I am starting to consider myself a Nicoise expert, and while the seared Ahi Tuna is ususally what I like, the regular tuna was fine. All the ingrediants were fresh and the salad was HUGE-I was glad I was really hungry when I ate-and I ate it ALL up. The wine went perfectly with it and Tim loved his food. I found the service really friendly and funny and I was completely satisfied with my food. Our bill came out to under 50, and we would have spent at least 40 at a sushi place, so I felt pretty good about it. In fact, maybe the food and wine was TOO good since we got home...and slept from feeling so full and warm.
Oh-and I really have to say kudos to the pianist who was TEXTING while she played piano-we tipped her well!
So I am pretty surprised by all the less than stellar reviews. I think we just had good luck with our food choices, wine, service, ambiance, parking, and value? Or maybe MFC is reading these reviews. I just can't eat a whole lot here, so my chances of coming here more than every few months are very diminished.
Oh, and boys (and girls) who want a comfortable space for a date, tots give it a try.
