| - I want to love this place. The space is beautiful, the staff is friendly (though sometimes frustratingly slow or forgetful), the menu looks delicious, their cocktails are tasty, and it's in my neighborhood. If you have visitors in town, it's a great place to show off how hip Phoenix is! I have eaten a meal here at least 6 times. But I have disliked so many of the things I've ordered that it makes it hard to enthusiastically recommend. I feel like I'm playing some weird version of Russian roulette every time I order... "Is this going to be the third of the menu that's awful, or the third that's fine, or the third that's excellent? Who knows?" For example, the "crispy" falafel burger is just very dry and boring, the Japanese-style fish & chips was fun for the first two bites and then the seaweed/salt flavors were overwhelming and painful, a duck pasta and pork pate-thing were [insert sobbing emoji here], but the new eggplant dish is excellent, their cauliflower is awesome, and everyone I know loves the breakfast chimichanga (which the server told us the chef hates making... #awkward). I like this place for small snacks and drinks, and I like their coffee bar. I will visit for dinner rarely.
