| - I came here for dinner with a group of friends and after having some of their seriously good pizza from another location, I figured this was going to be a no brainier delicious meal. There's been a lot of hype around the dishes served here, so I as well others at my table were eager to try some of the items on their "Enchantment Under the Sea" menu along with some pizza. Sadly the service fell flat and some of the dishes seriously lacked seasoning which surprised us all. Our waitress, Krysten, didn't check on us much and all of our drinks sat empty for a majority of the meal. Flagging her down was a real chore and I can't figure out why such a popular place would have only 2 servers working on a Friday night?!
Suicide Fries ($5.50 for small portion) - Hot pepper blend, habanero garlic sauce and plenty of jalepenos piled on a bed of fries. This was featured on Food Network's DDD. The small portion was very generous and well worth the price. I honestly only sniffed the plate as it was being passed down the table for everyone to try lol and my nostrils started burning, so I just kept that plate moving along and am glad I did as those who tried it said they had a burning sensation in their mouths. I think a dollop of sour cream could be useful on the top of these fries to help with the burn.
Poutine ($5.50 for small portion) - Fresh mozzarella and in-house beef gravy over a good amount of fries. I was really excited to try this dish and was quickly let down after the first bite. This dish was lacking in the seasoning department. The gravy and mozzarella were both bland. Fantastic portion for the price, but seriously needing better flavor.
Braised Short Rib Stroganoff ($14.95) - Short rib, mushrooms, sour cream, beef jus, porcini and truffle powders over egg noodles. Yet another dish that was majorly lacking seasoning. When we were able to finally flag our server down to ask for some salt, that seemed to help the dish some. I expected the short rib to stand out more and just wasn't impressed with this dish like I had hoped.
Naked City (1/4 sheet $14.95) - Pepperoni, hot Italian sausage, roasted sweet peppers, white onion, green olives on top of red sauce and mozzarella. Ours had everything except for olives per one persons request. The 1/4 sheet comes with 6 square slices and all of the toppings tasted so good together. My hubby really liked this one and we'd both order it again.
The Guinea (1/4 sheet $14.95) - Grandma's meatballs, spinach, ricotta, white garlic sauce and mozzarella. This was featured on Food Network's DDD. This was one cheesy pizza and was well liked by everyone. By far my favorite of the night. I like the think crust and would for sure order this again.
I'd return for pizza and most likely order it to-go. They also have a brunch menu that I wouldn't mind checking out in the future with hopes that service can be better than it was this last time.
