| - My daughter and I dined here on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant was fairly quiet, with approximately 5-7 additional customers. We were immediately seated and proceeded to browse the menu. Based on Yelp reviews and rave reviews from a co-worker, I was leaning toward the pizza. We ordered the Margherita pizza (small - 6 cut $12.95) and she ordered the side Caesar salad, and I ordered the Iceberg Wedge. The salads arrived within a few minutes, as I proceeded to cut up my salad, I noticed that there was quite a bit of brown lettuce, so I spent the next few minutes picking, at least a handful of the unappetizing lettuce from my salad. Other than that the salad was pretty good with ripe & juicy grape tomatoes, hardboiled eggs, sliced cucumbers, lots of bacon and chunky (homemade?) bleu cheese dressing. Also there was no salt or pepper on any of the tables, nor was there an offer for fresh ground pepper (which I love), for my salad. My daughter enjoyed her caesar salad, the only complaint was the croutons which were either from a box OR homemade, but stale. Our pizza arrived steaming hot, and bubbly, loaded with fresh crushed tomatoes, lots of basil and a very good quality mozzarella. The underlying garlic sauce had fresh slivered garlic. The crust was just right...not too thin, with the right amount of crunch. Although the ingredients were fresh and the pizza was well made, I found it to be just ok, my daughter thought the same. There was lots of oil on the plate beneath the pizza and I'm not a fan of huge amounts of crushed tomatoes. The tomatoes could have used a bit more seasoning. Also there was a small display on each table which listed the desserts which were pretty pricey (around $7.50). I would have thought there would be more of a push to offer desserts. Not at all, we were given the check and sent on our way. All in all, this was a good experience. Would I go back....sure, just won't be my go-to place.
