| - This Streets of NY location has been in our semi-regular dining rotation for years and has made so many recent improvements that last night we were actually swooning over our dinner. And we weren't even drinking! Usually we pay a lot more to swoon over a dinner, and decided at the table that they deserve some serious props.
This Streets has always been reliable in that we've never, I repeat: Never had to wait for a table, which is gold in a "winter visitor" town like Mesa. (They seem to do a lot of delivery and takeout orders.) The food has always been reliably good, except for last night when it was outstanding. This location has an ambiance that feels modern without being cold, comfortably casual, and pleasant to be in. There are a few t.v.s, in case you're wanting to keep an eye on a game score, but it's not noisy.
Our servers have been good to great. (Last night Rachel W. served us and she was awesome.)
The food: We usually come in for their thin crust pizza because it's a good tasting crust that gets a bit cracker-ish at the edges and we love the selection of veggies they have. The artichoke hearts are quartered so you can taste them. Sun-dried tomatoes aren't dried out or burned. Plenty of pineapple. Good cheeses... many meats and sauce choices too. So we got the pizza... AND the beer cheese because it's maybe my fave beer cheese anywhere. A little bit zippy, not too salty, just the right consistency, and tons of flavor. It comes with parmesan bread sticks. We impulsively also tried two things from their "Fall Flavors Menu" which you've really got to check out before it changes. One item was the Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Ravioli with Sage Cream Sauce and Parsley. Oh My (Deity)!! We love squash ravioli and usually find it at Wildflower Bread Co., but frankly this one at Streets was way better! The squash filling is a little bit sweet and deliciously pumpkiny, and the ravioli was cooked al dente. The sage cream sauce was delicate and just perfect. I'm going back very soon for this again. Lastly, we got the Autumn Harvest Cobb Salad. It was a beautiful twist on a Cobb salad with sweet potatoes, apples, dried cranberries, chopped candied walnuts, cheddar, celery, and lots of other usual Cobb toppings. The lettuces were mixed with some iceberg in there, and I'm usually a lettuce snob but you know that it actually was refreshing to not just eat romaine for a change. We got the maple cider vinaigrette on the side and loved it.
We ate the leftovers today and I'm sad it's all gone.
